I like this editorial until the end when it gets all political. I figured it would happen, but it's part of the problem. If either side keeps blaming the other for something like this, we'll never get anywhere. Mindsets need to change- students shouldn't feel that they have to go to college. Students who want to go to college shouldn't feel the stigma of going to a community college the first 2 years. It just makes me angry to see how this generation is getting the short end of the stick- and it's not their fault. We're still living in a country where if you don't have a college degree, you're passed over. So these kids continue to go- incur debt, get low paying job they're overqualified for and then are told they are lazy and entitled because they have trouble paying back loans.
Sigh.
I'm just thankful for the fact that this seems to be generating more and more anger recently...we'll never get anywhere either without people making a stink about it.
