I struggle with accepting this comment. I know we say it. But, if you break it down, I can't follow its conclusory "logic". I think we use it to give passes to people that we don't have faith in. When I hear of personal successes of people, that have gone on to achieve higher education (and, I am not talking strictly a four year program), I can't believe that not everyone is college material.
I think someone who cannot commit to going to school through four years
while makeing good grades (enough to pass the courses) are not college
material. You have to commit for the long haul & there are not that many
people willing to do it.
