A Real Education

In my freshman class, in the College of Engineering at University of Illinois, only 50% of the students were able to eventually graduate with a degree in Engineering.   The other 50% were "flunked out."

No matter how much any individual student worked, studied, or tried to improve his behavior, the result was the same; 50% of the total students were flunked out.   THIS feature of the student's career was institutionalized.   The structure of University of Illinois School of Engineering accreditation system guaranteed that for 50% of the students, their college careers were ruined.   There was no mercy, no pity, and no compassion for these students.   

What a lousy school. It destroyed as many lives as it "improved."

In much the same way, the structure of the USA economy guarantees that a certain percentage of the population will live in poverty and unemployment.   No matter how much any individual person works to improve his situation, the same percentage of the total population will always be destitute.   This is intentional design of the system by the economic powers that run the economy.  There is no compassion, no mercy, and no pity anywhere on the corporate balance sheet.

I know people whose lives were destroyed by "flunking out" of school. They are dead now.

Those selfish, immoral, [and criminal] educators, would rather destroy numerous lives to keep the accreditation of their school and their high paying job, instead of doing the difficult work of actually guaranteeing that all students get a real education and value for their dollar.
 
This is shameful.  And no one cares...
