Letter: Encouraging Every Student to Go To College is Not Realistic

From the Letter to the Editor in Sunday's Washington Post:

"College is fine and a worthy goal, but when your toilet or faucet is broken, you don't need a PhD. You need a plumber.
I certainly hope our political and educational leaders read that article and realize that encouraging every student to go to college is not realistic." E.M., Wheaton.

Let's take a lesson from the past experiences with the Board of Education and find out the details more than 24 hours in advance of any proposed programmatic changes!
