I am saying that those who don't benefit from the same education as others who use it are mostly lazy and irresponsible. Can't blame lazy and irresponsible students' behaviors on the government.

 

And it is NONSENSE about suing college bound kids as an indication.  There are those who are academically gifted to do well, regardless as to their circumstances, because they are more academicaly inclined.

 

Exactly. Kids who are academically inclined do better than those who are lazy and irresponsible. Kids don't born academically inclined. They get there if they choose to dream big.

 

There is no nation in the world where most people attend college, because most people do not have the academic gifts to do so.  So what do we do with the 70% who dont attend college in the USA, or the 90% who dont in Guyana?  They still need the basics to compete in the job market, and employers as well as UG complain that most of the kids leaving school are not prepared.

 

They should pay some attention to their school work so that they can at least survive even if they don't get to go to college. The key in all three parts of your response is that lazy and irresponsible kids shouldn't count on someone else bailing them out of their predicament.
