If you test to be a doctor and actually want to be a doctor, they pay for your college. if you test to be an engineer, they pay for you to be an engineer etc...but if you test to be an accountant and instead want to be an architect, you have to pay to get the schooling.

wkfan;1779959 wrote:You fix this by not promoting everyone to the next grade, regardless of their lack of mastery of the subject matter
You fix this by making trade schools bigger and a better option for those who either don't care or don't have the ability to complete a college prep program
You fix this by instilling in people that a college education is a PRIVILEGE, and not a right.
You fix this by backing the teachers and school administration in their efforts to discipline kids and enforce the rules of the school.

That would be a start

hasbeen;1779973 wrote:Which happens because holding them back punishes the schools/teachers more than the student.

wkfan;1779976 wrote:I disagree.

This happens because the school administration leaves this decision to the parents rather than having the kehones to say that Johnny is staying in 2nd grade for another year because it is the best thing for his education.

majorspark;1780036 wrote:No for several reasons. Very dumb of the Carson campaign to put that statement out there. It was fair game. None of this happens without the Carson campaign putting out this ill timed information. Had I saw the CNN report 15 minutes before the start of the caucus and I was a Carson voter I most definitely would have had second thoughts. In the end likely only a small amount of the Carson caucusers were even aware of this. Those that were made aware of it solely by Cruz caucusers would have been very skeptical and l highly doubt many would change their vote.

This is the CNN report. They were insinuating the same thing.

majorspark;1780046 wrote:Also this is a foolhardy way to defeat Cruz in the primary. Trump looks to the Republican primary voters to be using the tactics of the leftist democrats to excess. Threatening to sue? Wanting a redo of Iowa which is not even in the realm of possibility. The numbers don't even come close to supporting a lawsuit. You would have to be talking massive fraudulent activity. Most are smart enough to only bring suit in extremely close elections. With the Karl Rove types jumping on board with this idiocy it makes Cruz look even more the anti-establishment candidate.
