it reminds me of my high school, I went to an inner city school with high teen pregnancy and high dropout rates. Not many students went to college.
My high school teachers would always talk about how many of us aren’t smart enough for college.
College is not about smarts, it is about work ethic.
My brother in law has been in remedial classes his whole life. He has to study longer, and work harder to learn material. He has a college degree and makes pretty good money. He doesn’t have many friends, isn’t the brightest bulb, but he works hard, and makes good money. He took 5 1/2 years to complete college, but he finished, he’s even thinking of working on his MBA.
Why should I or my brother in law work hard to make a good salary just to get taxed like crazy so my money can go to someone who is hanging out watching tv collecting employment (like my other brother)[/quote]
Thats great about your brother. Nothing more warming then to hear about someone who overcame barriers to reach their goals.
