I'm asking this from a Wisco perspective, the administrators, in this scenario, probably should be a part of the teachers union then, right? Am I looking at this wrong?You let administration do that, because it's their job.

Oh I agree. But admittedly, I could teach my kids "US History" without ever mentioning slavery. I admit it wouldn't be accurate.
Costs of college is what's busted as hell. College degrees are not meant only for those that can afford them.College loan system is busted as hell.
I'm almost out of student loan purgatory, so happy day there. No taxpayers bailing my ass out.
Well, I had to fill out 8 'failure justification' forms today, if that tells you anything.
You pretty much can't fail a grade here anymore. It's virtually unheard of to be held back, no child left behind and all.Are kids allowed to fail anymore or have parents and administrators decided it looks better to push little Timmy through to the next level and make sure he doesn't feel like an outsider?
Yes. That's why I put quotation marks around "US History".Sooo it wouldn't be teaching them history.
It would be parts of history?

I have not given this a lot of thought in terms of what specific things should be taught. But my off the cuff reaction as a guy with a BA in History is that we'd look at the stuff that happened before and after any particular event (in this example, slavery) to assess its relative importance. I know you know this, but with the slavery example you can easily see that slavery was connected before and after to massive issues of human rights (which feeds into question about the nature of Democracy), economics, the formation and structure of the country, states rights vs. fed govt rights, etc. Ergo, it kinda needs to be included in the curriculum.Oh I agree.

It's never been that way, it used to be those who could afford them, or those who did well enough in academics or another field to earn a scholarship. Or those who wanted to work hard enough to pay their way through .Costs of college is what's busted as hell. College degrees are not meant only for those that can afford them.
The better q is how to you determine if an administrator is doing good or bad.
It would make associate degrees more attractive. The worry for some (me included) is that overly expensive college helps foster and create a divide between haves and have nots. I understand, tough nuts, that's capitalism.Why not? Since when is it a right for higher education on someone elses' dime?
Instead, one could work for their tuition and books or go to a community college for two years.
In years past, if you couldn't afford college, you got a job.
I am not smart enough to answer that.

A group of elected officials (school boards) ultimately decide how administration is doing...yay politics in education!!!Why does it matter?
Its the job of administrators to track good teachers and bad teachers, simple documentation allowed for the firing of bad ones with no issues with any unions. The better q is how to you determine if an administrator is doing good or bad.
The government helps out much more for those that can't afford college...hence taxpayers paying for college degrees even without a bailout.Costs of college is what's busted as hell. College degrees are not meant only for those that can afford them.
This is exactly what I did, BTW, with a little help from FEDs not much, but some. But I went to a state school because it was more affordable than the fancy private schools.Then get a job and pay for it or earn a scholarship
The idea that someone else should have to, is exactly what is wrong with this entire world.
The entitlement that is out there is crazy talk. If little Timmy cannot afford school, he can work harder to get scholarship, or he can find employment to cover the costs.

Ah, but the cost is outrageous precisely because everyone can get a loan. Too much capital in the system skews supply and demand and eliminates downward pressures on price. Those rising prices creates the excessive debt.This is exactly what I did, BTW, with a little help from FEDs not much, but some.

As I'm thinking about this, it isn't the cost of college that's the big problem. It's the debt. The debt can be managed with some want-to and foresight.
That is the worst advice ever. It is virtually impossible to successfully default on student loans.My son, who just finished his second year of college says I'd be appalled at the number of college students who have zero intention of paying back their student loans.
Come on, I say, it cannot be that bad I say.
He said it's probably a lot worse.
He said the liberal professors all but tell the kids to default on their loans.
We as a country are screwed.
I understand that. That's why making them less accessible is a good idea.Ah, but the cost is outrageous precisely because everyone can get a loan. Too much capital in the system skews supply and demand and eliminates downward pressures on price. Those rising prices creates the excessive debt.
Why would you do that? What would it achieve?As I think about this, Jman (or other educators) is percentage of college enrollment used to rank high school systems?
Are you assuming I want that? I just asked a question if it was. You're making your own inferences.Why would you do that? What would it achieve?
