> So, the recommended solution is for everybody to go to college?! IMO, as a former tenure-track professor who has his last kid currently in college, there are many "reforms" that have to be done.
The big mistake we made was to allow money to flood into colleges. This is when we allowed banks to take over and fund the system with student loans -- as opposed to the "old way" of having states mainly fund colleges with minimal payments from students. When banks got involved the incentive was to scale everything up. More gyms, more "student services" and student centers. Bigger and better and more expensive dorms, etc., etc. All that extra cost was saddled onto clueless 18-22 year olds as student loans. We have to reverse that. We have to make *small* dorms and to cut down on "services" and buildings -- make the entire campus more efficient. Will that be popular? Will that be seen as a "worse" education?! We know the answers to that but we're going to have to tell people to suck it up. --- "The true mission of American sports is to prepare young people for war." -- General and US President Dwight Eisenhower -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
