Thank you for telling the truth about cost of higher education! University of Utah is forcing students to live on campus under the mistaken premise that their ability to learn and earn higher grades will increase. Thus a huge dormitory building program and increased consolidated tuition in a location with historically commuter students. There is also increasing percentage of foreign students who subsidize by paying higher fees with unknown American societal benefits.
We can hope and pray that those in government will pay attention to what Dr. Hanson says. These things must be done, no matter how many objections are raised. Otherwise America will continue its headlong rush off the cliff.
University education in the U.S. is one important thing; but then there is also the K-12 build-up to that. If we look, for example, at the “PISA” country-comparison tests done by OECD, what we see is that the trendline for American students is down ….. down ….. down.
It is hard to spark a desire to learn. In my experience, if I tell someone, ‘Don’t let schools stand in your path to education! And don’t let churches stand in your path to God!’, then their eyes tend to glaze over and roll back in their heads.
