I am a recent college graduate and I have to say that a lot of what I was expected to know entering into college I was not familiar with. I went to a rural public school and I could see the difference from those who went to larger schools or private schools and myself. I think it is important for parents to find ways to make sure their child is receiving the best education they can growing up so that they can do well in college. I know that I am one of very few from my class who actually completed a four year degree after high school. Of course other factors attribute to why students do not obtain degrees but poor secondary education is a main factor considering that if students are not taught basic principals how then can they build upon them in college.
