> This is insane. What are we doing?

expecting academia to be a job training program, reprimanding higher level general eduction as "33%" waste, trying to address the symptom (high loans) instead of the disease (why are they high) and pretending that cutting required courseloads wouldn't also reciprocate to higher tuition costs like every single time financial aid services like FAFSA increase, repeatedly posting out-of-touch "basket weaving" examples instead of allegedly any single other degree path with "bullshit degrees", having your only argument to discharging loans be that you can't repossess knowledge like you can cars, pretending this is an issue about students not holding "commitments" instead of addressing targeted bilking of a vulnerable group of people, trying to set up a cringe libertarian stance about government stepping in to "force" you to take courses and "distortions" from "political agendas" and anti-union sentiments completely irrelevant to any other issues anyone is talking about, creating huge fake scenarios of being hundreds of thousands in debt for fake degrees and passing this off as an even slightly applicable scenario to others, ... etc

> Our 18 year old's graduate high school devoid of marketable skills

it's really unfortunate for them that they had dead weight watching over them for 18 years, waiting for them to fail and to then immediately turn blame on someone else. it's not unknowable what they're being taught. the problem more and more seems to be that people like you have a voice in the world that someone might be fooled into believing is valid.

Wow.

It sounds like North Korea Would be fantastic for you. You never have to hear from anyone with any opinion outside the officially approved. You’d fit right in. Highly recommended.


i dunno, I think denigrating vulnerable citizens as a way to justify irrational reductions to your countries education system as a result of learned propoganda from a political party that values having power over it's citizens would make you infinitely closer to the average north korean sympathizer than I am

i also notice you skipped any prior points to give a vapid reply while also doing the same thing you accuse me of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusation_in_a_mirror), so I'll correct myself from cringe libertarian to cringe lite-republican and highlight that point here as a way to lightly confirm that you don't have anything of substance to contribute besides mindless outrage
