Should the goal of high school be prepping all students for college? It seems that it is, but i'm not sure why. I know there has been a tripling of universities and enrollment over the last 40 years, but in 2006 in the U.S. only 17 degrees are earned for every 100 students enrolled. i think the big part of this failure is due to an inertia where most high school grads think they have go on to a 4 year or community college. essentially we have created a 13th and 14th grade with very little accountability.
