IMO

colleges and Universities would be much better if they got rid of the BS 101 and 102 courses and unless one is going to become a practicing psychologist or Psychiatrist, skip the waste of time on Psyche for a year.

Advanced math is great in certain fields like Engineering or other scientific based professions where it is used almost daily..
The 5 hour calculus class which was a required course for all students at U.C. was the dumbest thing I cold have ever dreamed up. Even iffen yer major had nothing to do with advanced calculus ya had to take it anyway.

I cannot tell y'all how many hundreds of almost illiterate people applied for jobs at my companies and could not fundamentally read the word LIBERTY or speak coherently. And they claimed they were college grads.

If so, Either the college is really bad or they are lying out their eye teeth. Or a combination of both.

I almost believe it is time to return to the McGuffy reader...

Anyway, just my one cent's worth... Glad I am not ot employing anybody anymore and work for myself.. and loving it. Met a lot of really nice and smart people..

All the media seems to want to politicize this: Like it is only politically-motivated to want to apply the funding to functional skill building. No, it is practical...best for our society and best for our economy.

This lapse in high school and post high school education has been bothering me for at least fifty years. If you are planning to go to college then, fine, teach advanced math, chemistry, or foreign languages.

But if you have no aptitude or no interest in going to college? Why can't high school students who aren't going to college walk out of high school able to step into high-paying, much needed, trades?

So I am now hoping Trump is going to start encouraging schools to teach the things which make America, American citizens, and American society "Great Again".
