Edumacation

I've blogged about this before but I need to touch on it again. Schools, Higher Education, it's out of reach for far too many. The cost are staggering,absurd and obscene. I've not heard anyone ask why. My Son for example has gone to college now for almost four years. While it is a private school and thus expensive,most days he laments what a waste of time it is. When I ask him how this course or that course is doing he says what a waste of time. By the way he is on the deans list. So once more, why the crazy cost? Well you have the buildings to maintain, grounds to keep,ever present Sports, support and of course the professors. It's time we looked at a problem by not just throwing more money at it but by seeing where it's spent. Buildings and staff are a thing of the past. Computers America! Online courses! Accredited courses! Let one good teacher reach thousands. Course interaction. This might not work with all courses so deal with it. Can you Imagine the money saved and all the kids this type of teaching could reach. Perhaps kids could stay at home, not commute, not have to pay for Dorms. There are many courses available on line now but the key to this is credits. Our system of education is antiquated and wrong.If we can't fix this we can't fix anything. As far as sports figure it out.
