I think anybody who passes an entrance exam should be allowed to goto college.

But people like that lady who was afraid to take her GED because she might fail, well shes the type that needs to be weeded out,

It depends on what degree she is choosing. If she is majoring in diesel mechanics at a community college , I do not see why she must have four years of high school.

I disagree. Read the last paragraph.

"I realized what my priorities were," she said. "My priority is not my boyfriend. It is not hanging out. College was what I really wanted to do. I was talking to my mother a couple of weeks ago. She said, 'This is the longest you've stuck with anything.'

She's ready to learn now, something which she never learned in the institution of K-12 public schooling. I don't agree with giving ANY kid, no matter how academically talented, public assistance, but why keep someone out of college who's paying their own way and making the grade ?
