Re: The promise of college for our generation
I think that the biggest "problem" is not necessarily encouraging or pushing students to attend college; it's the negative connotation that is associated with NOT going to college. Sometimes it seems that students are subliminally told that people that don't go to college are destined to be unhappy or unsuccessful in. I think a solution might be helping students explore the other options...maybe college is just a way to avoid our fear of the unknown. While the benefits of college are constantly presented, when are the alternatives discussed?
