I was impressed when I first heard of this. There is no excuse for the high cost of college nowdays. When I entered University of Texas students took 15 hours a semester and finished in 4 years. Nowdays it takes them years more and the cost of loans is horrible.

Book were almost $100. each when my kids entered college and they were changed each year! There’s no excuse for that.
If the books hold ‘facts’, how can that change each year? It’s a money making scam.

Tenured Professors get grants and work on silly projects while ‘instructors’ teach the courses.

My local University of Houston college has 400 new Freshman enrolled this year. Motels have been converted into dorms to hold them. Fewer are ‘going away’ to the big colleges because of the costs.

I do a slow burn on this education scam.

And the lost potential is criminal.

So many lives ruined by “education for the children.”
