Education?

1/1/2017

I just read this analysis, predicting the future of so-called "higher education."  I'd be curious as to your reaction to this story.  What's your opinion?  (click on the link on this page, above or below, "0 Comments" to be the first to respond).

Right now, most high school guidance counselors across the country are measuring the success of their high schools by how many of their graduates 'get into college.'  After that, we don't hear much about what happens to those students.  Do they stay in long enough to get a degree?  Of those who do, how many find a well paying job in their chosen field?  Not that a job is the only measure of success of an eduction, but considering what it costs to attend college, it is a pretty important one.  And of those who don't get a degree, what happens to them?  Especially if they have taken out loans?

If this story is pretty much on target, then what are those high schools going to do about all their empahsis on 'college prep' courses and the entire culture that says "you should go to college?" Is it possible that the entire education system will end up being forcibly "reformed fom the top, down?"  That is, once colleges start collapsing, then high schools will be next (a their purpose of getting you into college will be diminished), all the way back down to first grade?

And if that does, in fact happen, what does education look like after that?  Do you have a vision for the future?  I'm interested.

Education is one of the most important aspect of our society. One must be educated so we can serve more people. Teach them the lessons of life. For me, education is a wonderful experience. After, studying and learning experiences at school, you now apply it in your life and start doing your best to accomplish more things. This is life and for me, this is educating yourself for the long term run. Thank you for posting.
