<p>MY DH Loves to listen to Marketplace. But oh my… now that they have dissed cc… Conflict… We’ll have to see which side his bread is buttered on…</p>

Please post the link.</p>
<p>see post # 27, puppywuppy. You too, lovesavage.</p>
<p>I could keep my same theme and go with ChildyWildy.</p>
<p>Awesome. I shall change my name to BunseyBurney.</p>
<p>intparent: If you had just written a book about college admissions and wanted to increase your book’s sales, wouldn’t you warn your audience away from FREE sources of good college advice? </p>
<p>And did Ferguson, actually classify his son as quote (he wanted a school where he could “take off his shirt, paint his chest, and major in beer”)? Is this adult actually condoning spending his own money on a non intellectual college experience for his son? Just that would be enough for anyone looking to purchase an education, not a drunken social experience, to steer clear of his advice book… of course there must also be a market for those looking to major in beer…</p>
<p>I can’t believe someone beat me to PuppyWuppy!! Now I would have to be PuppyWuppy1 (well…I guess that isn’t all that different from Thumper1)</p>
<p>The deed is done.</p>
<p>The former chair of our state’s unified Bd of Ed said that they paid big bucks for their older D to go away to expensive OOS U (not sure whether it was public or private) & major in making excellent frappaccino’s (or similar). They had their 2nd child (a S who was in scouts with our S) go to local CCollege. Not sure what’s happened to that S since, but my last memory of him was struggling with mastering the tepid public HS curriculum. He was not much of a scolar & it doesn’t sound like their D was either.</p>

<p>Thanks for the laughs! But I think you are all just POOPY PUPPIES.</p>
<p>God job, puppywuppy. How does it feel to see your name in print?</p>
<p>This is starting to sound like an old episode of Saturday Night Live, with puppy uppers and doggie downers</p>
<p>2b2b, Ferguson was telling the story that this is what his kid said to the high school counselor when she asked him if he wanted a big or small school. Here is a transcript of the whole interview:</p>
<p>[A</a> crash course on how to get your kid into college | Marketplace From American Public Media](<a href=“http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2011/02/25/mm-a-crash-course-on-how-to-get-your-kid-into-college/]A”>http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2011/02/25/mm-a-crash-course-on-how-to-get-your-kid-into-college/)</p>
<p>Below is an excerpt from Crazy U, the book from the author. Didn’t do any fact-checking but he obviously is not of the same world that many of those in CC are from. Don’t see stats on the many Us that charge only $10K/year, “a good chunk of which can be covered by loans & grants.” Neither of my kids indicated any interest in attending the type of U that his S described and neither majored in beer!</p>
<p>“Most college kids go to what admissions people call “nonselective” schools, and many of them begin at two-year institutions; it’s not too much to say that there’s a seat in American higher education for anyone who wants one. Even the cost won’t be prohibitive for the majority of students. More than 50 percent of us spend less than $10,000 a year on college, and a good chunk of this can usually be covered by loans and grants. For lots of high school graduates the pressing issue of higher education is finding the time off from work to take advantage of it.”</p>

Yuppy Puppy! :p</p>
