@lemonlulu who are the parents paying $12k for daycare and then complaining about 15K for college? I don’t know any of these people.
This is just one meaningless anecdote about one girl who has a problem with math and is getting help for that problem. Maybe there is a learning disability here - discaculia comes to mind. Without knowing anything else about this girl, its impossible to know whether or not she should attend college. Maybe she is a brilliant writer or historian. Maybe she is one of the many kids who would benefit more from trade school of some kind. In any case, no one here is arguing that all kids need a four year college degree, only that kids who are bright enough to benefit from one, should have access.
