After a many-year hiatus from my last degree, I have returned to college to earn my Masters.
There are “developmentally disabled” college students working the sign in desk at the main student gym.
Yes, I wrote “developmentally disabled” and college student in the same sentence.
They struggle to get you checked in to use the equipment, but I am always patient with them.
I was talking to a friend of mine who runs a business near the campus, and (because he is a really decent guy) he hires “developmentally disabled” individuals where he can. He says most of them are in college, working on a degree.
He said it’s great for their self-image, and that they get plenty of financial aid and tutoring.
Education bubble? You make the call………
We have a long way to go downward. Tuitions will fall. There will be inflation only in necessities, and in the near future, imported, useful, manufactured products.
The NEA won't like it...And will probably sue him.
State funded schools have to get a lesson from the parents and taxpayers. They do not exist to make the school bureaucrats wealthy with gold plated retirement packages. The reason these bureaucrats bring in out of state students and foreign students is for the money, only. State funded schools are to provide for children of the state’s citizenry, it is described in many of the charters that created the schools in the first place.
So as long as citizen abdicate their duty to keep the government bureaucrats reigned in, you will see the continuing theft from the state’s tax monies to fund educating everyone but the people they are supposed to serve. They will continue to add to the tax and tuition burden of the state’s citizens, until education at these establishments is out of reach for everyone but the wealthiest foreigners.
UC Berkeley prime example for where California state education is headed.
And Hopefully the government bubble is next..............
