Most people won't, or would even try to get in regardless of what the rules are. My kids won't. <br /><br />And cost? Be creative. My 16 year old is home-schooled. Or rather right now he is not. He goes to the local community college. He will spend the last three years of this "high-school" taking 9 to 12 hours a semester. When he is normal college age, he will have 60 hours of credit he will transfer to a major, R1 state school. At that point, we will have spent about 8,000 on tuition and books. Most, if not all, the credits will transfer. He will have a 4.0, or nearly a 4.0. He will get a big fat transfer scholarship and graduate when he is 20. <br /><br />He will never take the SAT or ACT. He will skip all the high school BS.<br /><br />And this path is open nearly every person.

If, as the article says, that social pressure to marry becomes less, I'd guess that the mean would be "bad" in marriage are not getting married in the first place. This is selection bias, not a change in behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
