crippling student debt is all facebook 18-30 year olds talk about,
its already a mainstream narrative, but no one in government cares cuz the Dems see it as a way to get votes,
And the Reps see it as a way of forcing you to keep paying banks
Wew
Dems: You got student debt? okay vote for me and i'll use your own taxpayer money, minus administration fee, to pay you back a small share to help pay it off
Reps: You got student debt? okay vote for me and i'll make sure you can loan a lot more from banks because your economic prospects are higher due to lower taxes, but you'll have to pay back more
Schools: Oh you got more money? Good we can raise prices and hire more school administration and diversity hires for a good reputation
I'm in indentured servitude now because I put myself in debt getting a doctorate in Gender Studies, this system needs to be toppled!
someone hand me my cattle-prod, we gotta bring Neptune back into the waking world 😛
students: might be a good idea to tell schools to fuck off and do my own thing...stick it to the system
Bank: You want us to loan you $100,000 for a degree in Sociology? Are you in the top 0.01% of students? No? Get the fuck out.
Honestly I think high school shouldn't be compulsory, that funding should be moved into technical certifications
Autodidacts like Tim show us the way
in its current quality, i'd agree,
That said, a bit of improvement and High-school teaches you the basics
the basics you could learn in high-school are now easily researched by anyone with a phone
most of the stuff I learned in high-school has been useless...but I was in high-school during a time when you did research in a library
I'd agree, but basics are boring so people don't do them,
Especially children, they need something to compel them to learn a bit else they become leftists
games work
and yes, a LOT of high-school can be scrapped
games are awesome to teach things
Anyone who would actually get something out of high school might as well just be sent straight to community college
i would prolly have done better in school if it was handles like uni from age 12 tbh
I got like 40 something credits in high school
I went to community college for most of my high school time, but it wasn't being "skipped ahead" as such
Well i can't speak for the schools you guys went to, nor American schools in general, i heard its really bad
My highschool was mixed between really useful things and absolute retardation "filling time"
Take technical classes kids
I think if anything they just didn't want to deal with my autism
Get your associates at 19
Minimum
i have a blackbelt in autism, does that count?
Then work work work work
So they just told the community college he's your problem now
Special ed teachers don't want 'em he's too smart
CC is good shit tho
Man, it really is disgusting, the flippant way my close friend views abortion.
She thinks, knowing nothing about biology, that scientists have somehow cracked the code on when an egg, becomes, a foetus, becomes a person; that somehow scientists can tell you when life starts being sacred or not.
Get your first two hella cheap
Then transfer over to a four year
Apparently infanticide is distinct from abortion in her view, she's so certain about that, and it's convenient that it lines up directly with the current legal and political distinction between foetus and person.
What I'm saying is that the American educational system requires you to have some actual agency
As a scientist i actually CAN tell you when life starts being sacred 😉
Heres a clue, it isn't
yeah, that's the thing.
I wans't actually thriving in CC, I wasn't all that smart or mature, but I had a thing called an IEP that said I graduate after senior year no matter what
damnit! you already got the clue 😛
