The Education Debate Continues
It seems the debate on education reform continues and my blog has focused on education. A news article recently reported Obama's rebuke to Santorum's charge of educational snobbery by the President. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-rebukes-santorum-education-snob-charge-points-policy-235651619.html This happens to relate to my previous posts.
Many have an experienced trying to find a job and discover that they need to pass a technical or community college offered training course, before being considered. Even with an Associate degree and related experience, it is becoming harder for people to aquire a job. The days of GED or high school diploma requirements for a job are becoming few.
The economy has been enduring a long recession and many companies have resorted to fewer employees with more and diverse responsibilities. Requiring greater experience and/or education. Obama made many good points, and Santorum remarked, that the President is a snob, intent on pushing people to college and is short sighted.
This ongoing debate proves that the old strandards of education have been sufficient. However, the rules and society have changed, and reform is needed.
