There's nothing wrong with being a little old fashioned sometimes I am, but when it comes to certain things such as collage people should be able to get a collage degree even if there not a high school graduate.
I've taken a few seminars, and practice collage courses and I've done very well at them, but I haven't taken the full collage exam's for my degree yet, because I'm working towards getting my GED/diploma, and by the way its kind of expinsive, so unfortunately the collage wont admit me as a full student yet, and I think thats a bit unfair because I'm not a teen anymore and I've done well at my practice collage classes so I feel that I should be able to attend collage as a full student, I think woman and men with children, and woman pass the age of 25 with special circumstance's should not require a high school diploma to attend collage.
I know that some of the new emerging collages in the US are becoming more flexible but I think more collages should be this way, also I think more collages should have placement exams instead that way if a person passes the test they can attend collages. because a full grown adult or young woman with kids should not be limited because of a technicality.
Its 2010 and counting why are we still doing things the old fashioned way when it comes to collage?

you are right. We are still following the old ways in education. The system that was followed decades ago is still not updated. There are no changes in it. I can understand your concern. But we dont have a choice. It is better to follow it and be satisfied.

True but it's going to take longer than you imaging before this new standard of requirements go all around the educational circles and if it's going to be enforced it has to be empowered by the government of the country. There are many things our government still overlook but anyway they are still trying their best to make sure single moms and adult education is accepted but it's not just the grants that matter what aboit entrance requirements such as you have mentioned.
