Clueless!! When I was 15 I worked and was the only person working in family. I gave all the money to my parents. A year later my dad got a job. Storm you don't know what it is to be poor and what you have to put up with just to go to school and live. I also worked when I attended college. If it wasn't for the scholarship our Uncle gave us I'm not sure I would have finished. When people move front and center to make statements about the cost of an education, please don't talk to me. I've lived it. Keep your head down and just keep plugging away and you will get there.

: That article has nothing to do with race. Just
: because the writer name is Hector and
: students with ethnic names are quoted does
: mean its about race.
:
: I'm sure you have a spanish surname but I
: get the feeling you are pretty much clueless
: when it comes to higher education for the

: That's a good idea. Comm College for
: remedial
: classes.

: I also think it's high time to re-invent
: college. Sitting in boring lectures where
: the professor talks at a bunch of students,
: especially the largest classes is old
: school. Use the Internet more. I learn more
: in a day now on the Internet than I did in a
: semester in a class. (only a slight
: exaggeration.) But seriously, life changes
: occur so fast and often now the Internet is
: a self-teaching device that is far better.
: Some of the traditional core classes can be
: done better with annimated teaching videos
: on-line. I used to have a psych professor
: who lit his pipe constantly. We counted 65
: lights in a 55 minute class.
:
: Re-think, re-invent, make more relevant...
: save money.

: I love the line where they quote the Cal

: LA administrator as complaining that
: students can't get into remedial classes.
: Here is a novel idea, eliminate remedial
: classes, and raise the standards to
: eliminate freshmen who need remedial
: classes, let them start out and take those
: classes in Comm. colleges. This would help
: aleviate the budget problems; further, it
: might give HS students an extra bit of
: incentive to pay attention in class.
