    Perhaps it does betray my personal prejudices.

    I have changed my views of Americans in the US military since the Iraq invasion, and the Neo-con movement gaining power for 8 years.

    Many civilians however, go to Uni and Ccs, to try it, for something to do, or because it's "something."

    The article I posted shows that this person was not suited for college.

    Perhaps tutoring could help him. How did he get accepted?

    Oh yeah, the US wants everyone and their brother and uncle to get a Uni degree.

    On the surface it's good.

    Then....look at how it's implemented: education has become a business

    Private schools

    public schools raising tuition to astronomical amounts knowing the federal govt (FAFSA) will increase the borrowing ceiling/limit.

    FAFSA increases the lending ceiling because Unis raised tuition so much. "They are here to help."

    Uni raises tuition ---> FAFSA raises lending limit ---> Unis raise tuition....and so on.

    And what is the quality of all of these "colleges?"

    I started a thread on this. It's in Domestic, if anyone wants to read it and/or bump it.
