I think that there is almost unanimity around this notion that more students need to have the opportunity to both earn and learn.
We have got to continue to raise the specter of these opportunities and give them equal credence to the unspoken or often very verbally articulated pressure to go to a 4-year college.
I think, importantly, that flexibility at the State and local level would really allow those closest to the students to target those resources.
I think the block grant proposal is really sort of transformative in that way because it would allow for all of the uses of those programs.
