A student who has excelled in the classroom should have the opportunity to attend college and become a productive, taxpaying member of society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To compete in a global economy, our students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation a reality, we must give students the tools they need to succeed, including the opportunity to take a college entrance exam.
No student ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him: it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.
Colleges do not merely offer preparation for the future; they occupy four years of a student's life, and an institution should do what it can to make these years absorbing and enjoyable.
No one should be denied the opportunity to get an education and increase their earning potential based solely on their inability to pay for a college education.
A greater tax deduction for students is not a handout. On the contrary, it helps those who are willing to meet the challenges of higher education to invest in our collective future.
Not only that - college doesn't particularly qualify you for the outside world. he world is changing so fast, and college is not. It should strive to be more in tune with the world.
College gives people learning and also takes away future opportunities by loading the next generation down with debt.
Colleges and universities, for all the benefits they bring, accomplish far less for their students than they should. Many students graduate without being able to write well enough to satisfy their employers... reason clearly or perform competently in analyzing complex, non-technical problems.
All students should have the opportunity to receive their high school diplomas and be fully prepared for college or the workplace.
A student of life considers the world a classroom.
