Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I wonder if this has any impact on the high cost of a College education?

    I’ve stated my plan to fix “higher” Ed before and will grace you guysm with it again.

    Free CC for any one with a 2.5 gpa or better out of high school, but on a short leash. Any term of CC below the 2.5 and you can go dig a ditch or foot your own bill.

    No aid nor grants to incoming Freshman or Sophomores at the 4 year schools, unless they are a 1%’er achievement wise. If you aren’t, then you can earn your stripes at CC and then if you are 3.5 or higher, after Soph year, then you can get your loans and grants.

    And Expand CET, that’s where all the money is nowadays anyway. And offer subsidizations there as well. Not so much on GPA but attendance and aptitude.

    This would require a shift for both CC and 4 year schools. But not much. The 4 years could certainly handle the CC level kids if we weren’t funding incoming Freshman and Soph’s.

    Yale now has as many "administrators" as students. Just think of that. Tuition is $58,000a year to negatively teach their students. This is what they learn.




    Pay your debt B*tch.

    Our district offers a program to students when they reach their junior year. They can began taking courses at CC and can complete their HS requirements and earn their AA upon graduating.
