GHC gives student hope
Dear Editor,
|
I wanted to send a thank you to Georgia Highlands college and everyone who works so hard to make this school the great success that it is.
Not only does this college provide a great education and opportunities it also gives people a chance to do wonderful things.
This college is far more than just a two year community college, this college is hope.
It is hope for a better job, future, and even a better life. Thank you for being such a great school.

Compliments to the SMP
Dear Editor,
|
I am writing you to express how I feel about the Six Mile Post. I believe that you all do an outstanding job with the paper!
The paper really helps me out in knowing what is going on within and outside of our school, which can be very useful when you are a new freshman and completely confused about everything!
I am sure I am not the only one that the paper helps. Keep up the great job!

Freshmen can benefit from Regents Test
Dear Editor,
|
I am writing in response to the article in the newspaper titled "Change in Regents' test policy affects many freshmen".
I think it is a good thing that the University System of Georgia Board of Regents decided to change the policy in order for freshmen to take the Regents Test.
Even though the freshmen students have not had the opportunity to take any higher English classes than English 1101, it is a benefit to them because if the student passes the test the first time he or she will not have to take it again.
As of now there is no penalty for failing the test if taken during English 1101.
I think it is a great thing that this policy is intended to identify students who will need help with reading and writing skills in order to graduate on time.
By starting early, maybe this will teach the students the material they need in order to pass the test before they have 45 hours so they will not feel as stressed about having to pass the test.
All in all, I feel that giving the Regents' test to the new freshmen is a positive thing.
