Many of us who were first generation College kids had to experience the same struggles. Once away from the small rural community were College was only for maybe 2 to 3 people from most Graduation Classes,and they were usually kids that had a parent that did graduate from a 2 year or 4 year College,life sure changes,and must admit I did struggle and hung in their and made it work after 5 hard years working full and part time to pay my way.

Now living in Vegas,we see what you are talking about the lousy TeaBillie school system. If you have school aged children,you do not wont them in a Nevada Public School. Most of the Professional People send their children to Parochial Schools or Private Schools. The Public School System has a dropout rate of twenty percent. Just a preparatory school for Casino Workers and Retail Clerks.
