Abolish College!

With the government shutdown and everything apparently we missed this story from the Times.

 With early admission deadlines looming for hundreds of thousands of students, the new version of the online Common Application shared by more than 500 colleges and universities has been plagued by numerous malfunctions, alarming students and parents and putting admissions offices weeks behind schedule.

“It’s been a nightmare,” Jason C. Locke, associate vice provost for enrollment at Cornell University. “I’ve been a supporter of the Common App, but in this case, they’ve really fallen down.”

I'm a parent of two grown sons who managed to apply to college electronically (or at least one of them; I'm not sure about my older son) and it went pretty smoothly. 

Nevertheless, I've paid careful attention to the criticism of the Affordable Care Act and the widespread computer problems that have attended the roll-out, so I know exactly how to fix the college application problem some students are encountering.

ABOLISH COLLEGE!

  1. Make Bill Gates step down; fire everyone at Microsoft (because they are indirectly responsible for the software “glitches.”)

    Abolish online stock trading (because a “glitch” was once responsible for an infamous calamity.)

    Abolish credit card processing online, because that’s been the victim of both foul play and glitches many times in the past.

    Let’s just say that, if it ain’t in the Constitution, you can’t do it…whatever it is.

  2. The president of UVM gets $447,000 per year.  Students should boycott college and become self-educated.  

    It is being reported that the NO-BID contract for the Obamacare website was given to a classmate of Michelle Obama.  In Vermont a $200 per hour NO-BID contract was given to an insider.

    How did things get this bad…the educational system is failing…health care is in chaos…the EU is mad at us…how did we manage to get an entire continent angry…actually it looks like we have offended the entire planet.  

    Maybe it’s time for all democrats/republicans to apologize to the world and disband.   Now is the time for Independent and Third Party Candidates to rise up and take charge.
