"For the past century, schools focused on increasing enrollment by creating grand campuses to cater to the traditional student who would walk through their doors, sit in a classroom, listen to lectures by professors and demonstrate what they had learned by repeating it in essays and exams. Upon completion, these students would earn a degree, be hired into a career that would carry them through to retirement and a gold watch. They would buy homes, raise families and educate their own children based on a model that was the same for their parents and even their grandparents." That was the story that was once told, and used to be true anyway, for the most part. Now, peoples kids seem to be doing worst then they are. Things are backward in other words. Now, my one neighbor can't seem to figure out where things went wrong. But I can't have a friendly discussion with him about politics. He is to busy blasting Rush Limbaugh in the backyard, and ranting about Obama you see.
