Anonymous Coward User ID: 75131483 United States 06/25/2017 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Colleges should be reserved for the brightest of students. It should be that parents and teachers can decipher which kids are worth it by 9th grade. After 9th grade, if a kid is not only smart and willing to learn but also has their own ideas about things then they should be groomed to become college students. The rest of us should begin training for jobs by 10th grade and graduate high school as a graduate of certain tradeworthy skills. But instead, high school is wasted on trying to turn idiots into college students. High school needs to become a place where you either become a brilliant person ready to change the world or you prepare for jobs and careers. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75093036 "Worth it." Are you fucking kidding me? What we should do is return to the vo-tech and apprentice programs and return universities to a base undergraduate curriculum similar to Harvard and Oxford in the 19th Century. Math, Science, Latin, Rhetoric, and Grammar. Reduce the numbers going to college by 90%! So STOP issuing "on demand" student loans for dimwits. That is where the main problem began. Once the feds started issuing student loans for ANYONE, no matter what their mental qualifications, it became a money making scam for "schools" and universities. Combine that with affirmative action and you end up with thousands of unqualified students getting massive amounts of government loans to pay schools for degrees that will not help them in the end. These things have made a Bachelors degree pointless and meaningless. Exactly. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 74619604 United States 06/26/2017 08:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | College is a complete scam just like everything that the government gets involved in. "Professors" started demanding obscene salaries and benefits for a basically EASY job. They teach the same classes over and over for nine months and expect lifetime jobs and pensions. Absurd. Now we have affirmative action "professors" who can barely speak coherent english and have obvious IQs of 80 making six figure salaries and tenure. Ridiculous. |

Being able to watch a pre-recorded lecture nude is fun for the first time. And being able to break for a smoke is cool. And not having to attend class is nice. But, there is nothing like actually being in the classroom. The syllbi might be the same, but not all professors are created equal. I do better in class than I do online for math and science courses. In the other courses like history, speech, humanities, sociology, government, english I do better online. I bet you could attend lectures nude and smoke at some universities. |

Most people do not 'know' as much as they think they do. It doesn't matter how much we think we know- it's what we can do & who we are that counts There is too much emphasis on cold hard intellect that needs to be balanced with the warm wisdom of the heart. the old ways of apprenticeships and being guided by a master should be brought back, to actively teach what one desires to know.
