Having been an educator in both an urban and suburban settings, there are aspects of this article that ring true. In many of Columbus suburbs, approximately 80-85% of graduating students submit college applications to 2-year or 4-year colleges. With many urban districts across the United States struggling to even graduate that percentage, I guess the big question is if the "college for all" mantra is too narrow and too unrealistic of a goal? More importantly, are schools preparing the students who do not go on to college to successfully transition to the working world? What do you think?
