Atlanta Forward: Education

Georgia Tech students have long insisted they have the toughest courses in the state, which may explain why so many of them lose their GPA-based HOPE Scholarships.

Readers also sound off on Georgia’s higher ed policies on children of illegal immigrants, policies now under review by the state Supreme Court.
