We would be better off if we outlawed teachers unions. If they walk off the job they can be replaced by former military.
I think colleges should be blatant about being about pay for admittance. Pay 5 million a year and your child can go to the college. So 100 people do it, it should lower college costs for those that earn admission.
If colleges straighten up, they wouldnt be able to produce community organizers at a rate sufficient to counter the natural impulse to be a successful self sufficient American patriot.
I’ve never really understood the Admissions fraud thing.
If the college is a private entity, then who gives a flip that someone paid more to have their child attend. It’s their money and they can spend it how they wish, and if the college gets to make more money from someone with stupid kids then what business is it of ours?
I agree with the rest of the article. Most courses of study in today’s universities are useless. but robbing from those who are too stupid to realize that is not a crime. Again, the students spend their money how they wish. NOTE however that there should be no government student aid.
I honestly dont understand why this is illegal and frankly why anyone would do it when there are thousands of colleges there kids could go to, many of which are very affordable.
The common thread here is that the parents shelled out big buck and gained admission for their kids because they were "supposed" to be college athletes. Why the double standard for admission? The colleges are really the guilty parties. If athletes indeed reflected the student body and held to the same standards, this scam would be moot.
There in lies the problem.
But, we all know what that would look like even before it starts.
The problem is too many students enrolled at levels above what they are capable of, beginning with Grade 9 and getting worse every year after that.
In 1941 (we know because of draft registration) the White rate for successful completion of 12th grade was 25%. In 1941 high school was voluntary almost everywhere and failing to progress was common.
So, the natural fraction of the White population that is capable of twelfth grade work, properly defined, is probably closer to 25% that it is to 100%.
