While I am not a proponent of having all students go to college, I think that higher education or should I say better k12 will make so much sense. It bothers me greatly how we just ignore education at all levels, the personal, the public, the state, and federal levels. We want cheap everything, but pay for it with lackluster education and declining cohorts of graduates, because we stick to old methods of schooling that privilege the few and cost the many, ignore innovation, reward competition, penalize hard working teachers and school trying to make a difference. Every state in the last few years has cut funding to education severely. Many schools have few computers, but yet the work world even if you do not go for an advanced degree requires some level of computer/information technology experience or learning.
