All you need to do is look at the highest ranked eduaction system in the world and see how they got there. Finland is currently the best education in the world-
"By 2014, the Ministry intends to have legislation in place that will shift full responsibility for polytechnic funding to the government, a change from the current system in which polytechnics negotiate with the government each year to obtain core funding, and must make up the rest of their operating costs from other sources. With this control in place, the government will combine some of these institutions into “large and innovative high-standard competence environments,” present in every province, and programs of study will be focused on ensuring that graduates can begin working in their fields immediately upon graduation."

You can't use a country the size of Finland as a comparison to the United States. It is completely laughable.

If you think you can extrapolate what works for small and homogenous countries to programs that would work in the United States, you should not be allowed in the conversation.

Just stay at the kids table.

I'd rather try something that works elsewhere and see if it works here than continue to do something that is a proven failure.

How did you get to the adults table?

Nope, we are 'Murica and we dont copy other countries. Allow me to dispel each of your possibilities-

Australia- southern hemisphere, cant compare to US
China and Hong Kong- too asian to compare to US
Canada- too cold to compare to US
Japan- too much surrounding water to compare to US
S Korea- have you seen that crazy dance video? cant compare
Netherlands- too much weed to compare to US
Singapore- too asian again
New Zealand- same thing as australia

Everybody knows only Switzerland compares to the US. Data from any other nation should be dutifully ignored.

As long as the government backs these loans and banks make them easy to get, this is never going to stop.

Get the government out of if completely. Let the banks hold that paper if they decide to make student loans.

Let the banks decide what careers they will make the loans to.

Pre Med...sure.

14th century philosophy...not so fast.

Schools can continue to over hire and over pay as long as those loans are easy to get.

Get the gov out.
