...believe the real problems often instead lie with high schools in working-class communities, which should be doing more to encourage good students to think about and plan for college. As an alum from a “blue-collar-and-below” zip code, I well know the problems that plague many less affluent schools, many of which focus on ensuring students pass standardized tests and graduate from high school, with little attention paid to where they go afterwards.

The local prosecutor says these injections killed Vincent, and doctors are forbidden from deliberately provoking death under the French code of medical ethics. But the code also requires doctors to ease patients' suffering and avoid "foolish obstinacy" in treatment. Chaussoy's supporters say the shots are a customary, humane response to a patient in pain.
