If college is supposed to represent some sort of advanced or more demanding level of education, why has it become a national priority to send every kid to college?

Something is wrong when so many kids have to take remedial classes when starting "college". The college-for-all push combined with the massive number of remedial students is just masking the utter failure of so many of our public K-12 schools.
No, everybody should *not* go to college, but that is predicated on the idea that they have actually already gotten a *high school* education--education, not diploma. That is a fact not in evidence.
If K-12 education was largely adequate, the number of college students could drop significantly.
