But I no longer live there on account of the crime, poor medical and other factors. It is not at all like it was when I grew up there; not even close. The public schools which I attended were pretty good and most of my friends went into science, engineering, medicine and the law. Now less than 75% of high school students graduate and the state legislature is working on again lowering graduate credit requirements which had previously been lowered since my time.
