>Nobody wants something until they are told they can't have it.

ok, let's test that theory

let's outlaw learning calculus

if you're right, we'll be overrun with budding einsteins

the problem is FAR deeper than DEI

the root of the problem is greedy con artists and gullible rubes

people are brainwashed to believe their children must go to college, or be condemned to a life of drudgery as second-class citizens

over the past 50 yrs the cost of obtaining a BS/BA has increased 5000%, dwarfing inflation

admission standards have been lowered so that no one is turned away

colleges all have an entire dept in the admin devoted to keeping students from dropping out or failing, headed by a "Retention Officer" or SSLT

it's never said out loud, but the message to professors is clear, YOU WILL NEVER FAIL ANY STUDENT, or you will be terminated for cause

all students identified as having a learning disability (THEY'RE STUPID) get special treatment

when a test is given, these special kids get to take the exam, leave the classroom, go to an unproctored room just for them, and take as long as they want to complete the test

professors must grade their tests the same as the rest of the class, who finished the exam in a single class period under the watchful eye of the prof

professors are forbidden from making any notation in the permanent record of these special students that they received this preferential treatment

 

when i was a freshman at a major research university, tuition was $225 per semester for full time students (12-21 credits)

the most expensive textbook was under $20 and the avg was $6-7, and they read like a scholarly treatise

today a typical textbook is over $200, comes with a CD-ROM, access to a web portal, and has more pictures than a stack of comic books

the writing is at what used to be the 4th grade level, and every single page has inane sidebars to help students "relate" the subject to everyday life

and it ALL A LIE

a high-school grad who learns a skilled trade will be earning money while their highschool classmates are going hopelessly into debt

within four yrs, the tradesmen will be earning five times as much as fresh college grads the same age

over a lifetime, 95% of college grads will NEVER earn enough surplus income to merely compensate for the cost of the diploma
