Most of our education problems occur at homes and in primary school. If parents got involved in their childrens’ education and kids actually read at a 6th grade level by the time they got to 6th grade, AA would not really be necessary.

Instead, we send kids to get C average degrees in college while putting themselves thousands of dollars in debt, all so they can work at McDonalds when they graduate.

By trying to get everyone to go to college and graduate, you only devaluate the degree, one reason why some are saying a Master’s degree is the new bachelor’s degree. Larger and larger curves ensure that everyone passes, when in reality people are learning less. Plus, colleges don’t want students to fail as it makes faculty and the university look bad and they don’t get any more tuition from the student.

By helping less qualified students get into college, all you do is lower the standards for college when we should be raising them for students while they’re still in primary school
