I don't know -- depends on the high school the student went to. For one reason or another, there will be alarming gaps of knowledge -- maybe the kid was sick that sophomore day, or maybe the teacher just didn't get around to dangling participles. General education courses assure instructors that everyone is on the same page, educationally.
You might save money, but it might be a false economy if you wind up flunking the higher courses because your base wasn't as solid as you thought.

Yes, but I think they are worth it sometimes. I've taken some general education classes I didn't care much for in the beginning, but I did find I liked them. I like being able to take classes out of interest, not just out of necessity for a major.

You could always look into CLEPing out of your Gen Ed courses, and getting credit for them.

no, not really. I guess that's true, but, since you have to take 120 credits, you might as well add some credits by taking the gen ed's.
