You've now posted the same wrong comment twice. Read the story. Read it please. These are high school students attending the public high schools in their home city of Chicago. They are not moving away at 14, they are not leaving their parents although you seem to believe it would be better for them. These students are going to college after finishing HS just like everyone else. Except they get to go for free. And so does one parent.
