You would be amazed at how much free tuition money is available to folks who check the right boxes on application forms.

I'm sure if you asked Dorian Johnson or any of the other gang members Mike hung out with, they were all 'plannin' to go to college this semester.

: )

So far there is absolutely no proof that Mike even registered or filled out any forms.

Quick story. I am an urban school teacher. A number of years ago I had a black student who I will call John in my algebra class. John was a senior, and he had a great work ethic. He came to class every day and he tried his best. And I worked with him after school.

But John simply had no aptitude for algebra. Despite everyone's best efforts, he failed the course.

Near the end of the year, I asked him what he was going to do after high school. He told me that he had a full chemistry scholarship at a local university.

A chemistry scholarship! For a student who couldn't do algebra! That was a travesty on so many levels. And I'm sure it greatly damaged John, for no way could he do college chemistry.

But why should the college care? Federal money was probably involved.
