Quote:here in the USA, would be cut military budget by 10% (as we should only need it for national defense, it seems to work for other countries pretty well) and use that to pay for college for everyone
I'd say 30% but that does not help the back end of your statement. What do you do with people who are simply not college material? More to the point, what about the type of degrees issued? We have plenty of psychology, business, philosophy, divinity (ugh - talk about useless!) and such but what is the job market for this.
There is no one thing which will fix the education system. It started to go down the shitter with this whole "self-esteem" crap in the 70's and has branched out into so many other little cesspools since.
