Open Admissions Policy

The open admissions policy at HACC is a good idea. One reason why it is a good idea is because it gives people who may have not been serious about their future as a teen another chance. Maybe they graduated and got a reality check that they may need to further their education to get a good enough paying job to keep up. Another reason it is a good idea is because it gives older people a chance to come back and get their education without discrimination on what they remember from high school or the past. One last reason it is a good idea to have an open admissions policy is because it gives anyone a chance at an education. Anybody who wants to learn and grow deserves the chance. One reason why people don't agree with the open admissions policy is because they feel like too many people drop out and waste time and money. Another reason might be because they want the school to be selective or prestiguous which I think takes away from the whole point of the community college. One last reason that people are against the open admissions policy could be they want everyone to be on the same level and not have anyone who needs special attention or can't keep up in their classes.
