I'm going to show the chart of employment growth since 2000 by different levels of educational attainment to my first year college students. Hoping that will give them some ammunition if their friends back home tell them they are wasting their time and money by going to college.
Thank you for sharing. Where to start? This is infuriating on so many levels for those of us who live sleep eat breathe public education.
I’ll pick one... K12 employee wages. Holy mother meatballs. That Indiana has a billion dollar budget surplus and is content to allow this decline says something... something bad.
How much would it cost to close the gap? $5,641 - 4,413 = $1,228 × ??? That is, how many employees are we talking about?
And:
"I told the audience that it is a little secret among colleges that we all want kids to take AP courses and I’m sure Purdue even wants its English Majors to take Calculus."
Unfortunately, Purdue wants its English majors to disappear. But that’s a story for another day.
