No, but I know many medium-achieving students who could have contributed a lot more productively to society if they'd had the chance and the money to attend college.
By focusing on only the high-end (and the low-end) we ignore what makes America a great place to be.
The gifted will find a way. The untalented and those lacking willpower usually won't, no matter what.
Everyone else needs a little help, help that actually matters.
