I think most students would be well served by going to a military
school a while before they start college. You might start seeing "4
year" degrees in 2 or 3 years from those people.
The university system would never put up with it because there is a
lot of money in it for them to make college as slow as they can. You
pay by the hour not by the degree

I get it! More guns. That's the motivation. Give me a ****ing break.
You clearly don't give a **** about anyone else's life experience.
What about getting shot at in the inner city? I guess that doesn't
count.

I spent a lot more time in the inner city than you and I have been
shot at twice.
That is not what we were talking about tho is it?

How many of those inner city kids have the grades to get in college in
the first place? Graduation rates are in the mid 30% and most of them
barely read at the 8th grade level.
If you do find a kid who can make it to college, I salute them. They
will have the desire to succeed and they have a very good chance of
actually getting something out of it.

What is really sad, is these inner city kids think it is to "whitey" to
study and learn. Just got back from 3 weeks in South Africa. The
Soweto
uprising was over education. The Whites in charge changing the schools
to
teach in a language the kids did not know. Depriving them of education.

What would those children in SA think of those in Chicago? Maybe it is
the
same in the inner cities as in SA. Keep the children ignorant and we
get
to
stay in power. Just not the Caucasian in control.

You, like a lot of others here sure are quick to lump everyone into one
narrow minded category.


-----------------

unfortunately that is what the African-Americans in the inner city are
thinking about education.

There are many, many stories of inter-city AA's picking themselves up
and making something of themselves. Again, the trouble I'm having is
with you and other's narrow mindedness. You lump everyone into a narrow
category.



What do you say about the lack of support or
changing the graduation rate. Seems as if the powers that be in Chicago
are
still the same powers that be for a lot of years. They seem to be
profiting
from ignorance.

I say it sucks, but it still has nothing to do with you and others being
narrow minded.


--------------------

Sure there a few that rise above the life in the inner city. Damn few.
When you have a 36% graduation rate, very few are going to be employable
except by drug dealers.

I said nothing about college entrance. How many of those 65% drop outs
could even finish the entrance exams? Either they could not read or write
most of the tests. When we got rid of the shop classes etc. in the schools
we were destined to have large dropout rate. 60% of the high school
students should not go to college. They have either the lack of brains or
the lack of gumption. We need the occupational classes for those people so
they have an idea of what is available outside school for employment.

What? Are you saying the colleges are so greedy that they are taking
high school dropouts now?
I wonder how much money you have to borrow to complete that course of
education.

I knew there was a good reason to filter Kevin.

That has to be one of the most stupid comments I've seen here.

I'm wondering - if a school has a 35% graduation rate, could it have a 65% college entrance rate?
Kevin must know something most folks don't.

You stupid old fool, do you realize that a school's graduation rate has
NOTHING to do with college entrant's rates for MANY reasons? I'd guess
not by your stupid post above. Let me try to get it through your
geriatric, mumified brain. Let's say a particular school's population is
made up of a certain 6 block square area. Are you stupid enough to think
that everyone in that aforementioned 6 block area that goes to college
MUST have graduated from the high school that services that area? No one
could move in, then go to college? No one could drop out of the high
school and enter college? No one could decide on a career change and go
to college? What a moron.
