His scenario of student and professor working over an essay together could easily take place in an audio- or video-chat session (one-on-one, just like office hours). It's certainly not all correspondence in this age of broadband internet. Or maybe his concept of the information superhighway involves telegraph machines. STOP.

]]> Comment on High Schools to Offer Plan to Graduate 2 Years Early by knock off coach purses http://blog.danielsec.com/?p=178&cpage=1#comment-275 knock off coach purses Sat, 10 Apr 2010 07:55:19 +0000 http://blog.danielsec.com/?p=178#comment-275 With scandals in test cheating on CRCT's in the Georgia public school system, and schools not preforming up to standards I think that this is a big mistake to cut 2 years out of a students portfolio, if a particular student is preforming above average, taking 1 or 2 college level courses at the community college while still in the 11th and 12th grade would be fine, but to skip those grades completely would be a mistake.

Unfortunately it also distorts the "living like a student" lifestyle people need to live after graduation to pay those bills, and many recent graduates end up in even deeper debt. That’s very true.

Last May I got a letter from the college my two younger children attend saying that because of tough economic times they were holding tuition increases to "only" 3.5%. That was still 3.5% above the inflation rate. Not only that, they charge for room and board (especially board) FAR above their costs to subsidize other things. I honestly think that all of the tax credits have saved us NOTHING because the colleges know parents get them and just jack up the cost by that amount. Thank God they only have another year to go.

I am curious what the statement "Many more girls apply to college than boys" is based on. I think the statistics listed later in the article do not account for the possibility that boys tend to apply to "fewer" colleges during the application process. So if the same girls are applying to twice as many schools as boys, that would make the article's statistical data misleading at best and perhaps totally invalid. Interestng article to think about…
