You don't have to hear it, you should live it. Now if you were telling the truth you either a)have not been to college b)haven't finished or c)if you have, probably was a 2 year school (going by the either 2002/2005 information). MECC is not really a fair example. It's a good small college but when you're putting our kids in this area up against kids who are taking classes that appeal more to colleges than you're putting us behind the 8 ball. Look at the area, look at how recessed it, look at how many people have to leave here to better themselves. Maybe if we bit the bullet, took our good educational system and made it better, maybe some of the best of our best wouldn't have to move off to better themselves but could stay here and better this area.
