[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This conversation has really gone off the deep end. Most of the comments are seeking to hold the Dept of Ed responsible for things managed at the state level, which includes the entirety of the k-12 curriculum. The dept of education mostly administers federal financial aid to college students and enforces the law so individual school districts don’t discriminate against children with special needs or other protected categories. That’s really the bulk of it. The Dept of Education policies that people may or may not like are typically presidential mandates like no child left behind.[/quote]

So yeah, like there many poor kids that went and got degrees on federal aid but can't get a decent job.  Most of the college education system is just an elitist social sorting system.  Many of these fafsa kids need to go do something else.  I mean I wish college was a good way for kids from modest backgrounds to get ahead, but it just isn't.[/quote]

It worked for me and many of my friends. But we also didn’t do stupid things like tie down to bad partners, spend our entire college years blackout drunk, or rack up tens of thousands in credit card debt. Only well off kids get to enjoy the “typical college experience.” Everyone else needs to hustle if they’re going to crack in to places on merit or make connections with the rich kids and their parents. If you’re not prepared for that kind of work, find something else to do with your time. [/quote]
