That's a part of responsibility, which imo sometimes doesn't get as much attention as it deserves: our behavior (choices) and the messages it sends ... which sounds horribly self-righteous to me as re-read it ... but I'll put it out there. Now we have a third area in this opening up. It's not self-righteous but somehow we've been conditioned to think that it is. Choices and consequences...something that is missing in the HC debate, and we're not allowed to talk about it. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

My wife the math professor is currently teaching "freshman math for business majors". You would be appalled at the stuff in the curriculum (like adding fractions, solving linear equations in one variable...) and that about 1/5 of the class is flunking it. I don't doubt it John. I'm not certain what more can be done on a K - 12 level to prepare. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Agreed. I guess my question then becomes should we as a country provide an opportunity to better oneself, or just provide ? What responsibilities do you bear for not taking advantage of a system that provides the opportunity? I didn't attend. I've kicked myself over and over for not taking advantage when I was most able to. My son just started U of Akron this fall. I've struggled financially all my life. Last summer I sat with my son and showed him my tax return for 2008. It wasn't an easy conversation to have. It's difficult to admit your failings to your offspring. But I think I made my point. He understands that it won't be handed to him. And he'll be in a much better position than his Dad if he keeps at it for another 4 years. And I'm satisfied that if he decides to disregard the advice he'll at least be making an informed decision. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I was thinking the other day that the problem lies not in providing HC to those who don't have it; the problem lies with the fact that we are becoming one nation of stupid fucks. If you were going to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent years, you’d probably have to start with the Wall Street firms and regulatory agencies that brought us the financial crisis. From there, you might move on to Wall Street’s fellow bailout recipients in Detroit, the once-Big Three. But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public universities. At its top levels, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission — turning teenagers into educated college graduates — much of the system is simply failing. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/09/business/economy/09leonhardt.html Seems like providing HC is putting a band-aid on a broken arm. Why don't these folks have HC? I'd much rather see the money spent on higher education/career training in this country. I'd like to see the correlation between education and whether you have HC. I know that there is far more to this than just the government throwing money at Universities. Wouldn't have the first clue on what needs to change. But I think it's a major contributor.
