Easy fix Piper---- lower the college standards.

back when I was in college-which was a looooooong time ago, the UC system had an English requirement. If you passed the test out of High School you met the requirement. If not, you had to take Subject A for $50 for the quarter and no credit. The majority of students took Sub A. So many, in fact, that they finally relented and allowed it for credit.

There was also a History test to take. Non-passers had to take a class in history or gubmint. Something like 1% or less passed.

For a BSc you needed a certain amount of credits in a foreign language. There, again, was a test. If you passed to whatever level you took in HS you could take the next class for full credit. Do poorly and you could take a lower class for half credit. Do even worse and you had to start over.

It is not necessarily a "new" problem that HS grads are unprepared for college. Perhaps schools are just perfecting it.

Collage has become a place to send your kids when the kid doesn't know what the hell he/she will do next and the parents want them out.

It is a day care for adult bodies with adolescent brains.

It often times is the only answer for many when the parents thought it was cute little Franky wanted to be a fire fighter when he grows up and then they missed the part where he grew up.

If parents took the collage tuition.
Invested it wisely.
Their kids could retire at 50 without working.

that must be what redhooks mom is doing... only 14 more years and he'll be able to retire!

How many college graduates spell college collage?

Hopefully none of them. lol

I see teachers competing with t.v. ,smartphones and video games. You gotta hold the students attention for more than 10 seconds to teach them anything. Good luck. What were we talking about? Checking facebook.

Admitting you're wrong is a first.

rrrrrrrrrright.

I got through 4 years at UW for not much more than a year costs now.

The rate at which tuition has risen is a disgrace.

A lot of the first 2 years classes aren't even taught by professors.

Yep and most of that money we pay doesn't even go to proffs or more proffs.

The highest paid folks on campus are admin. It's a fuckin farce.

Now your talking.
We need a revolution.
Fucck dem hippies!!!!
