Colleges should take away entrance to Seniors that cannot pass their classes. Colleges require from students enough effort to complete their work. If Seniors can't complete their courses, then they shouldn't have an entrance into college. The purpose of college is to prepare students for advanced occupations and education. Seniors that aren't dedicated enough to complete their high school work will most likely show the same level of dedication in college (assuming they get into one) and will probably express even less interest if they get a job.
Colleges prepare oncoming high school graduates for their own futures. These students take advanced courses in hopes of achieving their goals, which probably consist of getting a high paying jobs or something similar. However, what if there were still students that manage their way into these advanced courses, and find themselves incapable of understanding the content? Students that slack off in high school will probably find themselves unable to compete in college, and assuming they get past that, they will be doomed once they leave college and get out to find a job.
Students that think that colleges have a soft spot for average students have another thing coming. They must be reminded that from the college's point of view, they have no time for people most likely to fail. College officials don't want to waste time or resources teaching someone who is guaranteed to fail.
Students must remember that college isn't a place where you can get away with partial effort. After all, it is where students learn to survive in society after high school. Students incapable of doing high school work are incapable of doing college work as well. College requires students to give it their all. Only then will they get a chance at achieving their goals for the future.
