I understand, but understand that that would have required her to quit her job and possibly go onto welfare. She had a daughter to support, and did not possess the skills to get a 9-5 job that would allow her to make ends meet so that she could go to school.

Hers may have been a more unique situation than most, and the course of action you laid out is sensible. However, some get trapped both by their situation and their own inertia. Breaking out can be hard, especially those with a family. Day care alone is enough to break most; adding 'night care' to that while attending night classes is near impossible. Without some help, many in these situations seemed doomed to continue in low paying jobs just to make ends meet.

For some, it may be too late. Breaking the cycle may have to wait for their next generation. That's where some assistence in the form of need-based scholarships and admissions placeholders becomes crucial, in my opinion.
