A BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
My apologies to SaxonPig. I didn't want to hijack your thread.
One university in Colorado spends a BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to indoctrinate teach our youth history which never happened and to be "good thinkers". Six hundred forty million of that BILLION is provided by U. S. tax payers. That's just one university. HOW? WHY?
quote:We are accountable to those who have a stake in the university: the people of Colorado who contribute $200 million annually in tax dollars, the federal entities that provide some $640 million annually in research funding, the donors who gave us more than $130 million this year to enhance academic quality???
quote:What the hell are they teaching out there that costs a BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to learn????

They each that government control is needed and liberal is good for us all; conversely conservative self reliance and God fearing based judgement is bad. 0 -
AND they keep raising tuition. Same goes for the K-12 public schools. Our local school district spends over $9000 per student per year and the test scores keep going down. THEN they ask for more money. They won't hire new teachers to replace the ones retiring but the district wants to spend 100 million to build/upgrade the school buildings. My daughter who was in the second grade last year had to read and write about "why people should go on strike". GO ON STRIKE!!!!! She's in second grade!!!!! They need to get back to the basics. 0 -

Your post reminded me of this.....

register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give
me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help.
While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there
and cried. Why do I tell you this?
Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no
wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )
6. Teaching Math In 2007
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?0 -
I've had several experiences with young cashiers. I've learned that it's not my job to teach them how to count and if I want to get my food before it gets cold, I need to make it easy for them. I feel sad for them.
But back on topic, higher education is BIG BUISNESS. Professors are treated like gods, and few full profs actually do any classroom work.0 -
Yanked our kids from the public school system this year..had enough. 0 -
Same here. My kids don't go to public school either. Home schooled.
My girl will be in college at 16 max.0
