I thought how brilliant. From the time you start school it is drummed into your head that you are going to college and there are NO alternatives. Which is ok if the child is inclined towards academia, but what if they are not? I went to school with a guy who could build anything out of a piece of wood and yet had a lot of trouble reading. He was forced into college, dropped out in his second semester because he couldn't keep up, and felt like a loser... He finally got a job as a furniture repair person and now builds custom pieces for big bucks and he is as happy as a clam... College is not for everyone, the smartest people I know didn't go...

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told a group of state schools superintendents Friday that he found it “fascinating” that some of the opposition to the Common Core State Standards has come from “white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were, and their school isn’t quite as good as they thought they were.”
