This education system needs reform, I happen to admire European education. My German friends pay nothing (or almost nothing) for higher education, they have a much better grasp of their field, they advance quicker, they go into the workforce quicker and they are best prepared (not universal). In addition, Their system is not structured to milk or generate the profits that US institutions have grown used to. And for what purpose? to build a new Football stadium.
Make exams tougher all together, make it selective, but make education free for citizens. If you want profit, generate that by funding, research projects, international students, i don't know. 'Oh, but we can't make the exams and selection process tougher, all the others will be 'left behind'. Well, tough luck, the German system filters out their students from early on. We should do the same.
Make the schools tough, free, and selective only to those that really want to pursue their education. Young adults leaving school with enormous debt is not the right way to treat the citizenry of any country. |
Couldn't have said it better myself. This bursting student loan bubble is going to end up contributing to another recession in this country. You don't make advances in the economy by putting the next generation of skilled laborers thousands of dollars in debt.

| quote: | When he signed the 2012-13 budget, Gov. Rick Scott used his veto power to nix four pages of expenditures from the bill.
Of course, not everyone is happy about what got cut. Topping the list: victims of rape.
That’s right, Gov. Scott vetoed the $1.5 million that was to go to the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence (FCASV) to support 30 rape crisis centers. And to make matters worse, Scott vetoed the council’s money halfway through “Sexual Assault Awareness Month.”
Yikes.
Executive Director of the FCASV, Jennifer Dritt, was blindsided by Scott’s pen stroke.
“We are disappointed,” Dritt said, as reported by The Florida Independent. “We are really surprised and frankly stunned — [and] are trying to figure out what the heck happened.”
For his part, Scott stands by his vetoes, saying that if he vetoed them, it was because they “weren’t a good use of taxpayers’ money and did not serve a statewide need.”
Rick Scott
True, the entire state will not be raped at the same time. But still, not a good moment for a bad publicity stunt like this with the whole Republican party smarting from weeks of policy decisions and controversial new state laws that have been characterized as being anti-women.
Cutting funding to help rape victims is about as anti-women as you can get. |
If ol' Skullhead wins re-election in FL, then they truly deserve what they get.
