someone finally GETS it!

Government is the problem!

All these easy loans and grants the government is handing out is what is driving up the cost of education and simultaneously making a lowly bachelors as useless as a high school diploma.

Exclusivity is what made a college degree important. Hand them out to everyone and they become worthless.

One of our graphic design kids didn’t learn Adobe Premier, Indesign and Photoshop by going to expensive schools like AI. He learned it by downloading a copy of torrent, going to the library to borrow an exercise book on those software and Youtube. I think he mentioned he downloaded copies of Lynda.com videos LOL

Public school teachers are a good example. They make 70-80K a year for having a masters degree in 1st grade milk-n-cookies, and it's only a part-time job.

OK, none of the K-12 public school teachers are teaching anything tougher than 12th grade classes.

Shouldn't even a really smart high school graduate be able to teach others the same thing? An associate degree in education should be the max required, especially for those teaching grade school.

Public sector education groups are screwing over taxpayers with trumped up education standards.
