[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The distain for people who choose to work in education across the DCUM forums is so sad. [/quote]

The reality is that, at current pay rates, education (higher education & k-12) aren’t attracting the best & the brightest in most settings. [/quote]

Are you willing to pay more in taxes or tuition? [/quote]

No. I think schools should have harder applications so fewer kids apply. And I think standardized test scores should play a bigger role to cull a batch of apps.[/quote]

Schools love to get more applications = more applications fees + lower acceptance rate.

There should be limits in number of schools you can apply like 12?

Yes test scores should be mandatory, and limit to taking no more than 3 times.

1. Schools don't earn margin from application fees
2. There are limits already - 20 with the common app. Who is helped by lower limits?  Colleges don't want it and applicants don't want it...
3. Colleges that want test scores require them.  Colleges that want ALL scores require them.  Who is helped by your entirely arbitrary numbers?[/quote]

So we have better overall common sense fair system in the country.[/quote]
