Why push students down educational paths that will likely result in them dropping out? We should give everybody options that will help them succeed.
If he was “College Material”, he might wear safety goggles while operating the saw.
“Thus, in the reformers’ bible, the greatest sin is to look a student in the eye and say, “Kid, I’m sorry, but you’re just not college material.””
No, the biggest sin is telling a kid he cannot go to college because his spot was given to an affirmative action candidate. A not will the kid make less money, but his opportunity was taken away from him by someone who otherwise would be told, kid, you are just not college material.
Yep. The reality is that we have an oversupply of majors in puppetry qualified for a career at Occupy Wall Street. Coupled with a vast shortage of kids with skills in HVAC, refrigeration and a host of other immediately marketable skills.
Whaddya mean "WE"? Before the days when EVERUONE went to college, people found their own opportunities and showed the world what prosperity looked like.
The only thing "WE" (i.e. the government) need to give everybody is the freedom to make their own way in life.
HEY DUMBASS! GET SOME SAFETY GLASSES ON!
"We"? "should"? "everybody"?
Who is "we"? And why should "we" do this for "everybody"?
Because University Admins like to make Big Fat Paychecks from all the suckers who go in debt!
