Hey, no problem. Is the noise inside my head to loud for you? :-)
No its drowned out by the voices inside of mine!
The college experience (including liberal arts) is valuable when people are taught how to think rather than what to think. However, I seriously doubt there are 50 colleges (out of thousands) in this country where that is the norm rather than the exception.
I was at Pitt when Tony Dorsett was there. Dude never went to classes, just hung out at the Student Union with his entourage. And THEY were paying HIM to be there.
So where is the outrage over this and the thousands of similar situations?
bump
Where, oh where, shall we find professors/teachers who are minimally QUALIFIED to teach?
Except for colleges like Hillsdale.
The teaching profession has taken more hits than our southern border. Those at the best Universities came from the worst universe of teachers.
The crime is the introduction of unions into the mix, which produced Teamsters instead of Teachers.
Hate to say it, but I saw this, and so did many others, long, loooonnng ago.
It can be fixed, but it will take time.
I think the “student athletes” are the least corrupt part of the whole system.
They are outstanding at what they do. People pay obscenely large amounts of money to support them, most of it freely given. They get what amounts to an apprenticeship for a job that will make some of them multimillionaires. And, if they are so inclined, they can also go to college.
Yes, their majors in football and basketball are obscured by lies. But so is everything else about the system, so why pick on them?
I can only speak to what I see on a daily basis.
From the sixties to date we have a not so slow trend to socialism that is being taught in our schools. From grade one to college the indoctrination is complete.
Maybe in the STEM areas of education there is a trace of specific learning but too few are taking that path.
and I know what I see here.
The Supreme Court ruled that the company's employment requirements did not pertain to applicants' ability to perform the job, and so were discriminating against black employees. The judgment famously wrote that "Congress has now provided that tests or criteria for employment or promotion may not provide equality of opportunity merely in the sense of the fabled offer of milk to the stork and the fox."[2]
Hm? .....Good point!
Schools are broken, Colleges, Universities, K-12 Public schools. No sure if there is political will to improve and restructure.
bump!
