I’ve got one getting ready to go this fall. I sit and wonder what if any good it will do him. Between their indoctination and Obama’s plans, it is beginning to seem like a waste of money. We do however live in the South and he will be going to a small school here in GA. Plus, he is right of Rush Limbaugh and loves to argue and is not afraid to state his convictions. He had to make a slogan up this week regarding a controversial subject, his was immigration, he presented, “Use common sense, stay on your side of the fence” and colored it the colors of the Mexican flag. Believe it or not the teacher laughed.
I plan on taking that money and setting my kids up in business. If they want to be a doctor/lawyer, etc then we will have to get more creative.
There’s more than one conservative professor around, but we are a pretty endangered species.
Does your son really need a degree? I can make more money as a welder, or at several other trades, than I can as a teacher. An awfully large number of trade schools and technical two year degrees can give you a very good education if you take advantage of them.
I actually have talked some students out of the four year degree and into something that made them happy.
We decided to pick our kids’ universities very carefully. We chose a few conservative Christian colleges in the mid west, and toured them to get a flavor of the campus. When we found a few that consistently turned out kids with their heads screwed on straight, we told our sons they can pick from those.
Yes, they cost more than a large state run liberal university, but we figure we’re not spending our hard earned money to have them brainwashed.
