    Boo freakin hoo...

    Try paying for a private college.

    When UTSA gets up to a 3rd or even a Quarter of what I paid per semester to go to school, then I'll worry...
    Sure, when UTSA provides the same level of education as Trinity, that'll be an applicable arguement.

    Scott, I'm all for revamping all education. People don't understand just how much it's starting to hurt us that our workforce is below average and falling rapidly.

    Look at the money spent on our military, and look at the money spent on eduation. Even an American high school student can see where our priorities lie.

    I've provided statistics in countless numbers of other threads showing that US Students trail other industrialized nation students in the aggregate. Even Germany's vo-tec students are better educated than our "honor" students.
    i highly, highly doubt this...

    Are there statistics that support the argument that Trinity provides a higher level of education.
    And I'm not from SA originally so I don't know the history of Trinity and UTSA.

    But it seems that UTSA gets trashed in here quite a bit yet I know quite a few who have done quite well with a degree from UTSA.

    Colleges are all about tradition, reputation and building connections. Do you honestly think someone at Trinity is working twice or three times as hard for the same degree as someone from UTSA? It's not always what ya know, but who ya know.

    In some countries, students are required to take advanced math and science courses earlier in their curriculum and for a longer duration than in the U.S. where most kids opt not to take any.

    I think the key to getting kids to learn is to teach them how to learn. I absorb information like a freakin' sponge because my mom taught me just how important it is to be able to learn -- not necessarily what you learn, more that you learn.
    Kids growing up now are getting to be smarter than their parents, but that's not saying a whole lot since my parents generation only had something like 50% literacy (correct me if I'm wrong on that, Baby Boomers).
    What it does say, though, is that we are learning more. Maybe just not as quickly as the rest of the world cause we can't get our fat asses to learn how.

    I have a friend who was taking the same courses at UTSA that I did at trinity...

    They were a joke, just like all public highschool classes are jokes unless they are AP.

    What about a good quality education at a black college?

    Don't count us out.

    The CEO of DirecTV before News Corp. bought them out was a UTSA grad.
