The marking itself was a bit lenient I might add… the girl has horrendous grammar, she is repetitive and ludicrously misinformed. I firmly believe that girls like her are the reason that sexism exists.
Obviously written by someone who has not progressed from the world of childhood into the real world. Wisdom is something that is learned through experience, and until wisdom is learned one cannot comment upon how things should be done. She is looking at a fantasy life, and how she would like to live it, it will be interesting to see how her opinion evolves once she enters the real world and actually moves out of her bedroom with the K-Fed posters and wall-to-wall carpeting.
In the real world you need some form of an education to fall back upon or you get stuck. If you decide to take the baby machine route and want to do nothing other than be the Betty Crocker wife what do you do if you find yourself unhappy, or abused. You want out, but you can’t leave because with your lack of education you have nothing to fall back upon and you find yourself stuck, continuing to be unhappy, continuing to be abused. College is necessary, not for everyone, but unless you are one of those rare people who can make it in the world on your own at least take the two years to get an AA.
This little comment/blurb written by a man, owning his own house, divorced, and actually having an understanding that in the real world life doesn’t come without challenges, and life does not just come because you want it to, you have to work for what you want in it.
I’d say that’s the whole point. She, as a reporter, certainly knows how to write. Her point however is, that if one doesn’t go to college, that’s the result. Poor language, poor thinking, poor argumentation. Sarcasm, anyone?
Pretty sure it is a joke. No newspaper editor is that much of an idiot to seriously let this article get all the way to printing. I like it though; it proves its point.
This looks like it came from a school newspaper. Having been on the staff of a school newspaper, I can say these kind of grammatical and structural problems should at the least been taken care of by a copy editor at the very least.
Then there is always the point of her statement.
I would like to point out that she completely destroys her point.
“…I can understand if girls want to go to beauty school, cause every girl should have options…”
Well, I do believe that IS the point of college. Regardless of what you major in or how far you go with it, education is for falling back on. Education is to show your minimum level of aptitude.
I could go on, but this level of stupidity is just mind boggling.
Haha wow, I love this article. Mostly because I’m unsure if she is proving her point in an ironic way, or means what she says literally.. I think most people will be too blunt to find the irony in it though, and think she’s just a dumb blond.. (making them the dumb ones, lol). Genius.
This is scary stuff. I like your comments..Definitely the most useful thing anyone can do with this article (use it for laughs). Quite amusing this was even published…I feel sorry for her poor English teachers
A prime example that College IS necessary. Unfortunately, i think this article was sparked by a denial letter from a college, with that kind of writing, I wouldn’t be surprised! Hilarious nonetheless!!!
I can’t imagine what paper would publish this, school or non-school. It does look like a school paper but, wow, I’m hoping it was a satirical piece or something…
Whoever edited the article, isnt much of a genius either…what does “O, rly?” and “F+” mean? lol! If anyone of you are having problems viewing the picture on ur cell phone web browser, try the new Krave (motorola.com/krave), it has great quality

15I think the girl should have learned how to write in high school. How did she get her high school diploma with the writing skills she displays here?
