My Hot Take: WELP. You have to hate it for the students in the state. But you can't start caring about education after stduents graduate. You have to make the investment K-12. (Gifted)

My Hot Take: Being in college is the first taste of almost freedom that many of us experienced. Some of us handled it well. Others, not so much. (Gifted)
