Is it shameful not to? Why or why not?
I think any student who can succeed in regular classes can also succeed in college. But to me, the more important factor is enabling each student to discover what it is that he/she really is interested in doing. Maybe it wouldn't involve going to college; maybe it would.

But if they're not studying something interesting to them, their chances of success are less. My opinion. I have no facts to back up that opinion. But I do have anecdotal experiences.
