I am particularly surprised that certain outlets look at pass rates irrespective of student population. As if inner city high school kids are to fare as well as college students.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have been restraining the growth of the cost of education-that is, tuition, room and board-to be within approximately one and a half percentage points of the consumer price index.
Overhead costs are far too high, state support is dropping, and college tuition is far too expensive. Colleges are pricing themselves out of existence.
There are many examples in high schools which show something about the effects such competition might have.
When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.
I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
At the very top state institutions, like UCLA, Berkeley and the University of Texas, however, the trend of downward minority enrollment remains persistent and discouraging.
As somebody who visits countless schools, I see firsthand the dire situation our educational system faces.
It is a commonplace by now to say that the urban school systems of America contain a higher percentage of Negro children each year.
When the students are occupied, they're not juvenile delinquents. I believe that education is a capital investment.
High school dropout rates nationally - Not enough is being done on this issue.
