Why not just do another "First Lady Executive Order" like your school lunch program?
just combine the two!
them them nibble on some broccoli you allotted them while you tell them how they can borrow 100’s of thousands for a useless degree in African or Womens studies!
Higher Edumacation is way overpriced, full of useless courses and needs reformation.
Can’t Moochelle just shut up and go away? Please???
“Mrs. Obama was making a pitch for expanded college counseling”
My kids had two dedicated full time counselors. Worked for them...
“”don’t know what classes to take, or how to prepare for the SAT or the ACT. No one helps them decide which colleges to apply to. No one reviews the their applications. And plenty of kids have no idea that they’re eligible for financial aid, so they assume they just can’t afford college, and they don’t even bother to apply.”
So there is actually free money for these kids. It’s just they don’t bother to find it.
I guess some people need help from the government to wipe their butts from the government too.
She should know, because her daughters are getting the Luxury Class Education at Sidwell Friends….complete with a world class chef, instead of the meager lunches she has punished the poor children with during her reign as Cafeteria Czar.
Didn’t Michelle go to Princeton?
Doesn’t that make her one of the “small number” who are “getting every advantage?”
Typical paternalistic, we-know-what’s-best-for-you liberalism.
From my perspective, Michelle, too many students get Ivy League educations and couldn’t find their ass with both hands and a map. Your husband is definitely at the head of the class.
You prepare by working hard and getting good marks in grades 1-12. Do that any you'll have no trouble getting acceptable scores on your SAT or ACT.
“[T]he fact is that right now, a small number of students are getting every advantage in the college admissions race” = Affirmative Action
“while millions of other students who are just as talented can’t even begin to compete.” = Victims of Affirmative Action
Wow, what an admission about her two girls!
Why can't this woman just shut up?
Rosalyn Carter never bothered me. At least not that I can remember. Ladybird Johnson, nope, not her either. Jackie Kennedy? Kind of aristocratic and her voice bugged me a bit but at least she was a pretty gal.
But Mrs. Obama? She just needs to shut up and stop telling the world how to eat and how to think and how to raise their children.
Sidwell.
Uh, Michelle? They’re called “guidance counsellors.” Many are absolutely terrible at their job, but hiring two terrible people to do the work that one is too incompetent to do won’t help.
Is there ever a time when these two aren’t trying to divide us by race and class?
Like your daughters, Mooch?
My offspring is in their senior year of high school. Has a 4.0. Top 5% of their class, is in numerous honor societies, clubs, etc. I started putting $$ away for their college education 17 years ago. All undergrad classes are already paid for and there is significant cash in a 529 plan.
We did not need any help with any of this, this was our responsibility.
I agree that it would be a good idea to educate parents on the different options available for a child’s future. One option may be that they don’t go to college, maybe they would be a great welder?
This is not any of Mrs. Obama’s business but if she wants to educate people I suggest that she take about $250 out of her own pocket, go to godaddy.com and take a day to build a web site with the information she thinks is going to be helpful. Or, she could get my kid to do it. My kid and their nerd buddies could knock it out very quickly. I assure you they are much more intelligent than Michelle Obama, her husband and everyone around them today.
If Mrs. Obama wants to work on this it is a free country. Just let her do it in her own dime. She, her husband and his entire administration have already proved without a doubt that they have no concept of what money is. They have added 7 trillion to our debt and have implemented numerous policies, programs, executive actions, regulations and an abundant amount of stupidity that I would say will bankrupt this country. I would say that but it has already happened.
It is nothing personal but just an observation. The people running this country are morons. I find it ironic that one of those morons think they can enlighten anyone on anything except how to live their life as a parasitic idiot.
Stupid woman, if every person went to college, college would become part of high school. It would give no one any advantages over anyone.
Michelle, have we ever tried to think anything through? You aren’t a chess player, are you, dear?
