I think this is important for teachers, as well as students to understand. It seems only right that students don't need college to succeed in life, since society says that people need college to be a worthy student. I find it unnecessary in some cases for people to go to college if it doesn't affect their future career. Some people find successful jobs and have a good future, despite their lack of a college education.

When I first read the title of this article, I was a bit skeptical. It seems unheard of that a teacher wouldn't be so open to encouraging their students to go to college. I found it interesting that Jillian Gordon had a different opinion than so many other teachers, and found it unnecessary for students to have to go college. Most students have been surrounded with teachers that strongly encourage them to go to college. This teacher had such a different point of view that it surprised me and would probably surprise others too.
