> Your country does. What do you mean by can't go? People "can't" go to high-school either if they don't get the minimum grades required in elementary school.

> Your country does. What do you mean by can't go? People "can't" go to high-school either if they don't get the minimum grades required in elementary school. How does this even relate to the money angle that I'm criticizing? > So, should we tell them "no" up front? What do you mean by telling who no up-front? By requiring that you actually have finished high-school math before being accepted for a 4-year math program in uni? That's just common sense. > You already said that you/your country won't pay much, so why is it wrong for me to express the same sentiment? Uhm, no? In what way?

> What do you mean by can't go? People "can't" go to high-school either if they don't get the minimum grades required in elementary school. The US lets people go to college who haven't graduated from high-school. Flunk out or quit, and you can go back. > > You already said that you/your country won't pay much, so why is it wrong for me to express the same sentiment? > Uhm, no? In what way? Your country says "we'll let n people into college." or "we'll spend $x on colleges, which is basically the same thing. The tests are then used to pick those n people. What happens to the other people, the people you won't pay for? 35-40% of US adults have graduated from college. (Different sources have different numbers.) >10% of US adults attended some college and didn't finish. (Some do go back.)

  > What happens to the other people, the people you won't pay for? Not sure what your point is. All who qualifies is paid for? If you don't qualify you can take classes to make you qualify, also at no cost.
