[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 692938, member: 265"] At one time I might have agreed. Now, I think what we need to do is resurrect the pre-Reagan University of California model. That means: • A virtual guarantee that any high school grad whose parents earn a decent living (or are willing to go into hock) and has the chops can a) enter a college and b) that the family can afford the tuition. This is different than the free college tuition idea; you want the students and their families to have some skin in the game and this is more affordable. It also presupposes a hierarchy of colleges for students with different goals and abilities. (Most everybody has done this already.) • A building program to create the infrastructure that can accommodate and educate the students. • Seeing post-secondary education as a public good: more college grads means more economic flexibility and higher innovation. I don't know if this framework actually requires either HSGPA or tests. What it requires is ambition for the students and their families and - wait for it - the willingness to pony up in taxes to pay for it. When the students get into college, they sink or swim. [/QUOTE]
