<p>First of all, Dr. Horse, you said that “…8/10 students in the major has a ridiculously high gpa’s. In this I blame both the professors and the students.”</p>
<p>What’s wrong with having high GPA’s? Last I checked, that was a good thing. And isn’t it BETTER for both our country and for the students that they are getting better grades?</p>
<p>Also, you said, “Professors who teach 500 person classes, give back a test and half the students rush down and bombard him with questions. The other half goes to his office hours. grow up guys, accept the grades you get.”</p>
<p>I understand that nowadays, students are too worried about their grades and put too much importance on them and instead of actually learning, concentrate on the letter grade. However, just because they want to ask the teacher questions about a test after getting it back doesn’t make them immature. Rather, that makes them responsible, since they want to see what they got wrong and hopefully improve for the future.</p>
<p>Last thing you said, "Now we could have gotten a blue collar trade job, where at 18 you could have joined a union, became a apprentice and by the time you were 19 you would have</p>
<p>A high paying job, 60-120K a year + Overtime
Full pension
Full Health Insurance
Have a career in demand,."</p>
<p>How do you get a 120K job in one year? How do you even get a 60K job in one year? I don’t know exactly what you’re trying to say, but from what I gathered, you’re saying that if I join a union at 18, then by 19 I will have a job that pays from 60K-120K? How? After only one year of working, I don’t think that’s possible. But then again, I don’t have experience working, so I may be wrong.</p>
<p>Finally, AMom2: you’re not REQUIRED to do community service every year, and there is definitely a mention of the $4000. I quote directly from the site:([America</a> Serves | Change.gov](<a href=“http://change.gov/americaserves/]America”>http://change.gov/americaserves/))</p>
<p>“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.”</p>
<p>For middle and high school students, there will be a GOAL of 50 hours, not necessarily a requirement. Also, it never says anything about 100 hours of community service being mandatory for college students. And at the end, it says IF they do 100 hours, they’ll get $4,000.</p>
