I like some of these ideas alot. It seems to me publicly funded universities are a lost cause. I feel that we need to teach our children at a young age that college is not the thing that we should strive for when we get out of high school.
In my opinion, we should be teaching them how to read and interpret the Bible and constitution, seriously emphasize survival skills, teach financial systems and government systems and how they have been corrupted in the past, TRUE history of the US, as much world history as they can fit in, and how to seek a life partner that's will enable us to have a strong marriage and healthy family, etc.
I just think if they know they have all the tools to survive by graduation, they will have confidence and not rely on outside approval (college and social media).
In conclusion: Stop telling kids they'll never be successful if they don't get into college. This was the lie told to my generation. As a result, most of my generation attended college and it probably did more harm than good for most.
Amen. These are all solid points! It turns out, even though (((they))) told us that "fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life" it's precisely these things that they have been preparing generations of our young people to do! College increasingly doesn't lead to success, but it is almost guaranteed to lead to debt. The kind of debt that chains one, slave-like, to a gospel of indoctrination. For example, have you met any MDs in the past few years who would literally do ANYTHING to anyone to make a buck, no matter how dangerous or deadly?
I'm a Gen-Xer. Almost all of my peers went to college. It was just what you did. I got one of those "useless" degrees, but I was able to find myself in a good career (which has hardly anything to do with what it says on my diploma) because I was able to parlay a collection of "soft skills" which were mostly instilled in me by my family into attributes that my employers have found appealing. I don't think a lot of kids today understand that second ingredient. Many of them seem to think the world owes them something simply because they exist. That is a completely foreign concept to me and many of my peers.
