wish i could have recommended this post twice.....

the absence of accountability for quality will play an even bigger role as scripted programming which skews information to points of view of the sources who produced it, conflict with education.

The bigger question is what i am learning....is it correct or just another contrivance of opinions arranged to satisfy them damn producers?

The one thing I keep hearing about college, in spite of costs and in spite of lack of innovation, is the "invaluable" college experience, broadening people's horizons, etc.

I think there's nothing 'invaluable' about graduating with $50 thousand dollars of debt. Nor a quarter million in debt, as many are.

When economic times are tough, the college option will be viewed more for economic advantage than anything else. And that trend I think will be re-emerging this year and the next few. Universities had better get on the ball.

<Today’s colleges, on the other hand, are typically “tethered, isolated, generic, and closed>

As a professor at BYU, I am sure this guy knows first hand what he is talking about.
