“College is today what high school was 50 years ago,” Cuomo said...

So why not make high school better instead of picking the pockets of taxpayers?
Because then you wouldn’t have so many union dues paying teachers.
That was my reaction, too. So why not make high schools today like high schools of fifty years ago?
Then I read the rest of his quote where he basically says jobs that require a HS education are largely gone and, tosucceed today, you need a college education.
This is a fallacy. Maybe 20% to 25% of HS graduates can handle college. When it’s “free,” kids who shouldn’t be there are going to take up valuable and limited spots. What’s he going to do? Triple the number of college classrooms?
