besides leas ideological pollution, I think decentralization would encourage states to pursue educational strategies that match their local economies instead of this sookoe cutter approach of everyone getting worthless degrees. mainstreaming college has been a massive disaster for most people |
|
Date: March 20th, 2025 7:12 PM Author: Electric chad sanctuary Their only real responsibility is student loans, which has been a disaster for the country. If they just transfer the student loan wing to another department, then it’s a dumb paper shuffling exercise. If they cut student loans, then definitely worth it.
DoEd could have been a great branch, but look at the results. American students, myself included, are ignorant, poorly educated rubes. |

People just need to accept the fact that “education is the solution” was not actually the solution, and now we have millions of people with college degrees who can’t do basic math. Even Harvard, one of the most prestigious universities in the country, now has to offer remedial algebra classes. |

Date: March 20th, 2025 7:30 PM Author: fuchsia cocky blood rage but don’t you think there are a lot of actually smart kids from poorer families that can do the serious STEM work? with zero loans their only way to get into decent colleges will be the GI Bill (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5697268&forum_id=2#48767051) |
|
Date: March 20th, 2025 7:34 PM Author: Electric chad sanctuary Yeah, absolutely. But they can get into colleges just fine. The problem is that freely given, undischargable student loans inflated the price of a college degree exponentially. Get rid of the student loans, or at least change the terms so they are dischargable, and the colleges will be forced to adjust accordingly. Sadly there will probably be a decade or so of unfairly screwed students as colleges consolidate, but eventually your left with a fairer system that is almost certainly better at its basic task of educating students.

Date: March 20th, 2025 7:52 PM Author: fuchsia cocky blood rage sure they can get into the colleges just fine, but unless every college does the Harvard thing and gives free tuition to those whose families make less than $150k then these kids will not be going to decent colleges (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5697268&forum_id=2#48767115) |

|
Date: March 20th, 2025 7:28 PM Author: Electric chad sanctuary The problem no one wants to admit we have is that education quality is actually a hard thing to measure. Anytime you try to measure it, you run into Goodhart’s law, but if you just throw money at it without some kind of standards you get scammed.
The honest answer is that it’s a function of culture, but changing that requires a huge shock. |
|
Date: March 20th, 2025 7:34 PM Author: primrose cracking haunted graveyard corner it's very difficult to measure with hard metrics but i feel like the best (and probably only) way to judge it is with the supreme court indecency test "i know it when i see it" type things i agree with your poast. seems like it has to be measured on a timeline too distantly measured for there to be the sort of accountability that the treasurers would like |

Date: March 21st, 2025 7:25 AM Author: shitlib shibboleth Student loans were implemented in the most retarded way possible and clearly cause universities to bloat.
Lenders should be able to adjust rates based in student potential. A stem major going to MIT shouldn’t pay the same rates as someone getting a gender studies degree from a directional state university.
Also it is preposterous that colleges refuse to become more efficient in the information era. With the Internet, AI, video recording, etc., these schools should be serving much greater populations for less money. There should still be an in-person opportunity to go to Harvard, but they need to push online extension school as a less costly and less prestigious (but equally viable) option. We also need a post-SAT aptitude test where young job applicants can be better benchmarked against each other. |
