In College, Working Hard to Learn High School Material

“Passing the Regents don’t mean nothing,” Ms. Thomas said. “The main focus in high school is to get you to graduate; it makes the school look good. They get you in and get you out.”
I’m convinced that one of the reasons that so many job openings these days specify a college degree, even for positions for which such a requirement seems silly, is because that’s one way employers can be sure of getting people with at least what used to be considered a high-school education.
