Throughout the HELP Committee's hearing, high school student Victor Gonzales painted a troubling picture of the current state of American high schools: teachers who hardly cared for his welfare, low-income students unable to afford college and insufficient supervision leading to widespread delinquency and teen pregnancy.
"Not only does [the CAP AND GOWN] act help kids got to college, it will also help them get jobs...it will give twice back to the government. This act is a good investment."
Mr. Gonzales also emphasized the immediacy of this issue, stating that "we have to act now."
