The drinking age should not be lowered, but the penalties should be higher. The drinking age is lower in many European countries with a much lower drunk driving fatalities. This proves that it is not the age that should be lowered to fix the problem.
I think that WDC should have weighted grades so your GPA could reflect the difficulty of the classes you are taking. It is not fair to have a student who is taking the easiest classes possible and receiving all A's be directly compared to a student who is taking college classes and also receiving A's, because there is a lot more work and time that goes into college classes. Students who are taking college classes should receive more credit since they do more work.
