Translation: Obummer wants to gouge the taxpayers for a watered-down college "education" from the same people who ruined K-12 schools.

Continuing the trend of college degrees becoming more and more worthless.
Higher Education is a crap shoot with the odds in your favor....not a cure all...
America needs more doctors, engineers & high school teachers tbh. The MCATs are so cutthroat and hard that people go abroad for their med school. With all that time, they begin preparing for the USMLEs (residency exam) from the first year of their med school itself.
It's good to be a doctor though. Thebesteva is the only poor doctor (atleast he pretends to be) that i know. I'm pretty sure he's wetting himself at night thinking of the day he'll delivery of a Porsche 911. The 911 is all doctors think of once they finish residency tbh.
sucks it's only two years... and if States have to chip in, forget about it... the plan should also include more funding and support for vocational schools, too
That will pretty much flunk out 75% of the people who spend 2 years at community colleges."Community colleges have to raise their game by establishing standards to allow students to transfer those credits to a four-year degree,"
It's free yet the government only pays for 3/4 of it.
Community college math smh
The people I know who went to vocational schools are more successful than the ones who got a 2 year degree from community colleges.
Troof imo.
Varies by people, tbh...
Access to education is one area where I don't have a problem with government spending. Especially with the BS tuition prices...
Community college is already practically free if you go locally.
It's a waste of time and money since most community college classes are jokes. If you haven't learned how to read and write by then you never will.
Any class you took you wanted to "transfer" to a four year college for a degree (like calculus) you'd probably have to take over anyway.
It's worth it if you are already smart but underachieving. You go there, get A's, and transfer somewhere else.
Not true.,,,thanks to the way public education is funded in Texas those who need the most help always get the least...It's a waste of time and money since most community college classes are jokes. If you haven't learned how to read and write by then you never will.
Most majors only require Algebra 2....which I think can be taught at a community college..Any class you took you wanted to "transfer" to a four year college for a degree (like calculus) you'd probably have to take over anyway.
That's ing sad.
I'm sure there is truth to that but comparing what a community college offers versus a vocational school I'd say the vocational school does a better job of preparing someone to actually get a job. The SAC program just seems like a prep program to go onto a 4 year degree which is a waste of time for someone who already decided not to pursue a 4 year degree for whatever reason.

, even doctors only take up to Cal 1....I used to tutor them and they sucked...
I'm sorry, having worked in the for profit education industry, please don't compare ITT to any real school. Substandard rigor + 52k for an associates would like to say hi.

Also, you can learn vocational trades at CC. For example, Accd has hvac certifications (among others).
Sad but true. A lot of community college curriculum is devoted to re-teaching the they were supposed to learn in K-12.
On the other hand, there are some courses at the local community colleges are = to the hardest 4 year schools. I took a Chemistry for Science and Engineers class at UTSA as an adult for fun and got to be friends with the professor. He also taught Chemistry at SAC. He got great joy from the kids from A&M and Texas etc. who tried to take his chemistry class in the summertime thinking it would be "easier" than the one at their "good" school.
Maybe it's because I'm a parent, but this seems like a good thing to me.
Repugs will of course do everything they can to kill any pro-99% program.
somehow, America got pretty damn far on tax-payer, no-profit K-12 schooling. You mofo's who say K12 sucks have been suckered by BigCorp and 1% who see taxpayers' $Ts for K12 in THEIR bank accounts and who have been trashing, killing K12 teachers, unions as Dem voters, contributors.
y'all beloved no-profit charter schools often out-source their entire operations to for-profit contractors, which was the scam all along.
btw, the new NATIONAL GED aligned with the Common Core is being trashed, resisted because it's "too hard", so some states, esp red states (right to be dumb and right to work for less) have set up their own EASIER GED so their dumb s can LIE that they have "useful" HS equiv diploma.
