From the video above I can conclude; -the university that you dream of most becomes the university that refuses the most, because there are not enough places andregional university is the university that accepts us the most, -if you are rich then donate your money to a regional university and the last word that the native speaker said was the most motivating "that do not carewhere were you born Or how much money your parents have You should have the opportunity to attend college"
I think there's a point to notice. Some of the money donated in highly rejected school is for scholarship and as the donation is higher, the value of scholarship may be higher, which can help some students. Therefore, as the intention of the sponsors is to foster the talented, there's no doubt for their decision on which universities donated.
A good college in my opinion is an institution that gives students the freedom what they want to learn, how much they are willing to pay for courses and giving students the freedom how they are going to learn. Let’s be honest, most colleges fail all of these criterias, at least in the US. Most students don’t need to be in colleges but rather in other learning institutions like a private school or mentoring program
Interesting talk. To me, the primary reason to go to college is to get a job. I also believe the reason schools are expensive is not primarily due to lack of funding, it’s primarily due to the fact that the government subsidizes the administrative side and gives irresponsible student loans with no income and no collateral. Due to almost no barriers for these loans, anyone can pay virtually any price for college. There’s a reason why the tuition inflation rate is somewhere in the 7-8% range. A side note, using terms like “Latinx” is absurd.
That wasn’t the original purpose of the university or education, which was to free the mind from its shackles, to “lead out of” (educere in Latin). Your model is the more recent Prussian model, to create capable workers. A trade school or boot camp can teach you how to be a capable worker. Our universities have lost their original telos. I agree with you on everything else.
@@daheikkinen I agree with you that was the intended purpose of universities, but I don’t agree that it’s still their purpose today. In today’s world, educational resources are endless between the internet, public libraries, etc. College is the most expensive form of education and a rather impractical and insufficient method in my opinion. Given that almost all corporations and many other companies either require or heavily emphasize a college degree, the best use of a college degree is to get a job. I’m definitely an advocate for regional public colleges and trade schools for my kids. I’d love for my kids to be highly-educated, well-read, successful people without a college education lol
Interesting point of view. I think (truly) is become (or start to at least) become a good, self fulfilled adult in your region then the world. Friends, career connections, living on your own/handling money etc. It all contributes.
The US ranks 27th in the Global Social Mobility Index, behind countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Were the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution intended to found a country which offered less opportunity than the older colonial powers of Europe? Perhaps the US has lost its way and its principles when it comes to equality of opportunity across education, healthcare and social inclusion?
Showing this to my AVID classes for our first Framework Friday. A) so they realize why we have AVID and b) to help change the dialogue. Trade schools matter. Job training matters. College AND career readiness matters.
I would like to see a study of how efficient Regional public universities are compared to bigger state schools or ivy league schools. I image RPUs have to be educating more people for less money
Good point about 'educating' the masses - improving upward mobility etc. 'Research' seems to be the main thrust of the so called 'prestigeous' unis and, ultimately, increased 'spin-offs' from these unis. Funding for research projects is paramount to these institutions and teaching undergrads seemingly secondary. Reputation too has an enormous impact upon potential employers and relative 'worth' of various degrees from various institutions.
Sadly in a competitive capitalist society, rarity is valued. Irrational exclusion is money. Knowledge is worthless if everyone is educated and the internet is full of information and AI assistance makes knowledge even more worthless. Educating without exclusion criteria will just create false hope and many unemployed or overeducated in a changing digital global monopolised landscape that is will now further be disrupted by the AI takeover by Californias monopolies. Lifelong learning was never lifelong earning. Knowledge and Courses are cheap on the internet. All that Universities can sell are exclusion criteria, based on class, income and nepotism. Besides some outliers, it's not what you know, it's who you know that gets you the money to survive.
@@fathimahsyifa7872 Bullying is no joke. I got panced and peer pressured imto getting a pretty bad concussion once in elementary school. Then came the depression of not being able to spend as much time with close friends in middle & high school. Sure the schools I went to were some of the best academically in my area, but my social experience definitely has left me mental scars and stains. Haven't followed through on college yet, but hopefully it'll be better this time around.
And don't just designate the school's athletic department as the recipient as happened at the University of Houston. The large donation funded a posh, state-of-the-art facility for athlete's use only. The old gym for use by tens of thousands of students was in blatant disrepair.
I am not convinced by the speaker. I believe that a good school should still be selective, but provide bursaries for needy students. When a school is not selective in its admission and graduation criteria, it inevitably dilutes the credibility of its degree. When there are many schools that are not selective, having *a* college degree will no longer be a selection criteria for well-paying jobs, instead the criteria will be to have a *good* college degree. Defining social mobility in terms of the change in college degrees issued seems to be a over-simplification of the issue at large.
In China，the high-school students who are poor get a chance to the college despite it only continues two days and will decide almost your whole life left.
Tuition has increased primarily because equity officers have bloated the administrations of state universities. The University of Michigan spends 18 million dollars annually (!) on equity administrators. How about admissions be based on merit and not diversity quotas, which are unconstitutional and about to be struck down by the Supreme Court.
admission based on merit would still be inequitable, colleges would again be skewed more to white upper class families with resources and money. someone always loses, and even with diversity quotas today there really isn’t as much representation as you think.
@@seantran3499 The point isn’t equity or representation. The point is merit. Let’s say you have to go to a doctor for a major life-saving surgery. And one doctor who could help is black. But he got into the best university because they gave black applicants admissions with lower scores than white applicants. And there is another white doctor with the same credentials. I wouldn’t go with the black doctor. Say the situation is reversed, and black people have to score higher on tests than white people to become doctors (which would also be crazy). In that case, I would choose the black doctor, because he must have scored higher.
@@daheikkinen Then, maybe the black doctor was given the opportunity to earn their degree in a higher standing college. If they learned from the same professors and had the same experience then the quality of doctor should be the same. Getting in is only a small part of the battle. You still have to pass the classes, understand and work hard. Scores do not always make a better doctor.
Real change is built upon gratitude. An improved body does not mean you are throwing this one away. It means you are taking care of it. Lauren Hutton said, “We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.“ There is no disdain in the world of Fabulous. As you transform, remember that it is this person who has marched through the world. You can change something about yourself, but you do not need to hate yourself for it. Quite the opposite.
Good effective knowledge should be free for all. We as humans will most likely advance quicker (think working together like a group of ants). Unfortunately, greed, capitalism, slows, hampers, funnel-effect overall human advancements. When zoomed out into the galaxy, we humans are very insignificant in the vast infinite space. Thank goodness I'm Christian ✝️. I'd rather live forever with my heavenly Creator and create galaxies of my family tree. ❤
That depends, not everyone should go to college. However, some should in order for us to have the technological and medical innovations we have today through research, as well as having our trained doctors, nurses, engineers and other working professionals who need the academic background. Then there are community colleges for career technical vocations such as HVAC, welding, plumbing, electrician, paramedic, or automotive technology or even to offset university expenses should people want to transfer for professional careers that require higher education and are in demand. Now when it comes to studies that do not require academic knowledge and that can be learned through experience, projects, or online, yes college is a poor investment. Don't even think about majoring in art when you can do it through practice and online tutorials.
Ones that set high standards and have high expectations of behaviour and commitment from their learners. Not holding those who can back for those who struggle. One that expect learners to behave as adults and stand on their own two feet and to ask for help when they need it.
College that has a high standards are actually the awful ones, ones in korea have high standards you know what happened to their learners? They commit suicide
With the advent of RU-vid and other online resources you can “learn” just about everything you want. I am more an advocate for technical education than learning history.
@@letsgobrandon5800, but how could you make money in “gender studies,” when you can make up to $100,000 a year being an electrician? Does not make sense to me at all!
A good college is one that is neither right nor left but encourages students, faculty and staff to ask questions and think on their own. Too many colleges today are left leaning and impose their thoughts and values on others who disagree.
i definitely agree with the first part, but the problem is that when you delve deep and think critically about society’s history, most ideals will tend to lean left because that’s how they’re aligned. take CRT, for example. Most people who’ve actually taken the time to learn about the atrocities committed and the truth about the creation of america would likely agree with how important it is to educate, but many from the right are simply that: anti-education which lies the problem… higher education exposes the fact that a lot of right wing ideals only make sense on a surface level and quickly fall apart when examined with an academic and fuller lens… but yes i agree that thinking on your own is valuable and students shouldn’t stick themselves to just one side, but question everything
