Wanna Drive? Graduate!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A final - I swear - tidbit from Intel Chairman Chairman Craig Barrett’s recent speech in New Orleans.
He concluded his remarks by asking why a high school diploma isn’t required to get a driver’s license.
Well… Seems a no-brainer that it would make 285 safer, but would withholding a driver’s license motivate a student to work toward graduation? Or would it leave the poor and uneducated without transportation and further limit their options?
