worth the Price of Admission? Every parent wants the best for their children, and they want their children to go and study in college, in order to get a dream career. Now days it’s not a cinch as the costs of colleges are rising, and quality of education is dropping. In the article ‘‘Are Colleges worth the Price of Admission’’, by Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus, the underlying thesis is simple: college is too expensive, and return on investment of college is rapidly decreasing, constraining…

000 more than employed young adults with only a high school diploma” (Greenblatt par. 62). There is a need to emphasize the high school diploma is inadequate to support a standard of living beyond the poverty level. Students have to understand how education level is directly related to living standards and how important the middle class is to the fitness of the United States. I intend to develop a campaign marketed to high school students…

technical education is thought to be useful to students because it demonstrates the application of classroom learning in the real word, engages them by using authentic tasks and tools, and teaches them employable skills. While some argue that students who take part in career and technical education are provided opportunities to extend classroom learning and develop critical understating of potential work environments (Brown, 2003; Stern, Rahn, & Chung, 1998), others argue that this type of…

endless opportunities that it provides; me either. I choose CSULB to pursue my degree path. Beside those chances that college gives me, I also disagree with the CSULB education system. There are many schools that go straight to teach students about their major courses, while in CSULB system we have to complete the general education (GE) courses. Most of majors are called “pre-majors" at first, students have to complete at least 60 units with a C or better in order to declare a major. Therefore,…

The higher education system in America is more than an institution geared toward obtaining professional skills for a future job. College is a place where students acquire skills for their lives outside of the workplace. In today’s society, the majority of college graduates are unable to secure a job in the field in which they have studied, it is the diverse, non-vocational lessons they have learned while attending college that prove far more useful in what Caroline Bird has brought to light in…

reform and the current curriculum have resulted in the decline of arts learning in schools (Neelands et al., 2015, p.44-45). Indirectly this has left a gap in the market and therefore customers (the majority of them being parents) who rate creative vocational learning have searched for out-of-school opportunities for their children. In addition, many who are cared for by social services, creative learning offers an outlet for expression including an opportunity for development and confidence…

The Evolution of Curriculum in Post-Secondary Education Throughout the 1700s, nine colleges (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, William and Mary, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers, Brown, and Columbia) were founded throughout the thirteen original colonies for religious purposes. While each of these colleges were either secular or had different religious denominations, all of these colleges had their curriculum modeled after that in the English college system. This curriculum included…

essentially children themselves. My father is a police officer, and my mother is an LVN. However, my mother has always strived for a better education for herself, and by having me so young, she may never reach that goal. I have always enjoyed helping others, so when I decided on nursing for my major it was no surprise. Currently, I am trying to make it into the Vocational Nursing Program here at Lamar State College – Orange. This past semester instilled a drive in…

successful. My mother growing up always lectured about how we have the choice to become someone in this world. She preached this to us day and night. For that I am grateful because she always pushed us. So I decided to attend college to further my education and to become successful in my career choosing. So I can make my family proud. I will be the first to graduate from college in my family. I have other members that attended but never finished. I am looking forward to graduate with a degree,…
