Correct on the zero college. Honestly it depends on how each individual person handles themselves. I had a good GPA, college scholarships, and opted to not go because to me going to school for Physics/Computer Science/Math/Whatever wasn't what I wanted. I had the skills to step into a high level job straight out of HS however. That also wasn't taught to me in HS, it was self iniative that got me to where I am today.

The thing about a lot of people that don't care about school is that they wont care about mentorships either. it's really a lose lose situation as a whole. If the government or someone extends a large amount of new programs to help people or students who are poor, we are stuck paying for it, and the odds are that the bulk of the students wont care to have anything to do with it anyways. For the few number of people that would be helped, I don't know if the overall outcome could justify the changes that are made.

One thing that I do believe would be benificial would be readily available vouchers to allow those students that WANT to learn and are WILLING to work hard to get somewhere and become a valuable member of society, to attend a better school.

I agree that it would have to be voluntary as well.

As for the mentor thing not working, I think if the kid was told that there might be a chance of getting a job (summer job or whatever) at the place that mentors him that they might take it seriously.

and it all comes down to this: GSR hook me up with a mentorship job...ill follow you around all day

Personally, I may just sit at a desk all day using a computer, but when it comes down to leaving at the end of the day I am DRAINED. Maybe not physically, but towards the end of a long day thinking even becomes tiring.

I would much rather have a job that was mentally challenging than physically challenging.

This is because you're fat. Yay to fat kids!

hmmm....seeing how you like to gamble.... Bet Gent works too, though it really bugs me to call you a Gent as that would imply gentleman, which obviously you are not.

^burn.

I agree with nick though, people who want to go to school and are willing to put their time in should catch a break. Hell, I think it should work like that for a lot people. Taking out 40k in student loans, working a horseshit job for 4+ years, and then being balls deep in debt when your done is not a very attractive proposition for even middle class citizens. It is no wonder why poverty stricken citizens would rather get free money and foodstamps then bust their asses for 10 years going to school and paying for it. I would imagine it would be rather difficult to see the payoff in that or find the motivation to even attempt it when one could get everything they need for free...forever.
