The first two years of college really can't be considered higher education. It's mostly what SHOULD be taught in 11th and 12th grade. Our standards are horribly low.

I disagree. There is no substantial difference on average between a 16-year-old and a 21-year-old.
But there are much older people than 21 year olds that go to community college.
I wasn't referring to the community college education. Thats mostly a joke if you ask me. You made the point of all education being free. That is what I responding to.

And, again on average, they have no interest in hanging out with teenagers. They probably get more than enough of that at home. The ones who do have an interest won't let the difference between community college and high school stop them.
I just think you're creating an environment that welcomes a seedy element. I do believe there is a big difference mentally between a 16 year old and a 21 year old. Not to mention when you are older than that.
We need to do a better job in our secondary education schools which would encourage more to enter into higher education.

Is this actionable - at the school board level.
Is it being done anywhere in the US ?
Are you willing to make this a reality ??
I think this really shows you the current state of education.
And that mother****er graduated from Brown.
That is pretty poor. I can't believe he let that post.

The option for college classes already exists (at the high school level), so I would say that it IS actionable.
Not to my knowledge, at least not to the degree I am talking about.
Of course.

I hear people all the time talking about how, "Well, it looks good on paper, but..." No but. If it looks good on paper, it IS good if budgeted correctly.

Didn't Jindal also sign legislation in La absolving oil companies (drilling folks I mean) for any further financial liabilities than they already paid for their past teenie tiny oil spills in the Gulf?
I think community college curriculum is extremely rudimentary.
I don't believe tax and spend is a viable economic direction given the current state of our fiscal system (it's too political, too multi-layered, and too porous).
In principle, yeah, it's beautiful. But so is Communism.

OK, how much actual experience do you have at the community college level (to establish a baseline)?
I think the extreme on the other side is dangerous as well. Because big business continues to send jobs overseas to cheaper markets so their EPS can go up a few pennies for the next quarterly financial release.

There are some great community colleges out there. That makes no difference to the discussion, in my opinion.
