It's a set up!!!

I have attended two very different high schools in the last four years.. i was able to smend the same amount of time at both schools... I say this to say that i have noticed and am not happy with the difference in the two schools as far as preparing students for college. Now we'll jus refer to the schol that is in a more urban and diverse community school A and the school that is in a very wealthy and less diverse community school B. When I was at school A I noticed that alot of the students in the graduating class would either drop out, not have enough credits to graduate, or attend the community college. Now there is nothing wrong with going to a community college if you have a plan because it is much less expensive than a regular four year. However ther is something wrong with not having a clue as to what you're going to do in your future so you just decide to go there when you run out of options. Part of the reason is not the students fault because it is the guidance counselors jobs to help direct students and prepare them for college. At this school most of the guidance counselors tell the students that there best bet would be to go to a tech school or a community college during the childs junior year. Why would a guidance councelor not try to guide that student down the right path to help them be prepared for college by their senior year. I'll tell you why because they don't care enough!!!
