132. Not so much making a point as stating a fact.

More slots are opened up for international students every year, at least at our local university. The reason is because the university makes nearly double the tuition on the international student compared to an out-of-state student. It doesn't matter how they receive their money, just that they receive it. The university is making thousands more for one international student that they would make for an in-state student. It makes sense on a monetary scale for the university to accept more international students. The local university even demands proof of financial support and proof of banking accounts showing how much will be available to the student during the school year. The international students at the local university all have wealthy parents paying for their degrees or, in some cases, their own governments, not ours. Either way, the international students are considered a more secure investment for the schools since all fees must be paid upfront before the year begins.

A+ in Missouri isn't all that hard to complete. It requires a 2.5 GPA, 90% attendance rate throughout all four years of high school and a total of 50 hours of volunteer work while in high school. In our local community a number of the students finish their volunteer work up during one summer school session. There might be some who will have a harder time completing the program but most students should be able to if they so choose.
