When you have a lion's share of high-school graduates who aren't proficient in basic subjects like reading, writing, and math, it kind of tells the story itself.Graduates are told they can do anything they aspire to thanks mostly to their education. So why aren't they solving the problems that they aspired to solve? Most government agencies that are funded to solve problems employ only college grads (and then mostly masters). With all that education and taxpayers' money why can't they do the job that they aspire to and are paid handsomely for?
CA solved that "discrimination" problem by substituting government employment for college credits on a year for year basis.Most government agencies that are funded to solve problems employ only college grads
Maybe there should be proficiency tests for college graduates.When you have a lion's share of high-school graduates who aren't proficient in basic subjects like reading, writing, and math, it kind of tells the story itself.
Are you referencing 'life equivalency' credits? Similar to what the military does when taking training or instructional classes?CA solved that "discrimination" problem by substituting government employment for college credits on a year for year basis.
No, just years of State employment (e.g., office clerk).Are you referencing 'life equivalency' credits? Similar to what the military does when taking training or instructional classes?
LOL, it is amazing how many of these Masters degrees can't read, write, spell or do simple math. Higher education doesn't teach anything, it is just an exercise in jumping through hoops and following directions.When you have a lion's share of high-school graduates who aren't proficient in basic subjects like reading, writing, and math, it kind of tells the story itself.

Common sense?Before the thread goes off the rails, the question is, is there something else besides a college education needed in order to solve societies problems?
... Higher education doesn't teach anything...
It should have been a warning to America when colleges started having to offer remedial math and English courses.LOL, it is amazing how many of these Masters degrees can't read, write, spell or do simple math.

A woman I know prepared theses for PhD candidates. Not only did she have to correct spelling and grammar, but she often corrected errors and falsehoods in the documents. My sister worked for a technician who wrote articles for a popular photography magazine. She said that she too had to correct spelling, grammar, and composition else his articles would be unprintable. She also prepared papers for her husband, a genius who wrote educational programs for 'gifted and talented' kids. She was aghast at his poor writing skills. She also composed the introductory letter that helped get him a position in a prestigious university education department.LOL, it is amazing how many of these Masters degrees can't read, write, spell or do simple math.

By design. It can't be any other.It should have been a warning to America when colleges started having to offer remedial math and English courses.
Democrats have utterly destroyed education. They're passing kids along who are completely ignorant.

Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.By design. It can't be any other.
I know you work in education, and I'm sure you do right by your students.And yet, American universities are by far the best in the world.
