Every now and then, I'll say or post something I find interesting for whatever reason. I'm hoping to set your expectations so low that you can't be disappointed.
All kinds of implications here:
When Ignorance Begets Confidence: The Classic Dunning-Kruger Oregon is pondering a system where young people gamble a portion of their future income on their ability to complete a college degree program. This is really just a different way to look at student financial aid repayment plans. So, if a student drops out, they still have their wages garnished, then they re-enroll in a school in a different state and have to use traditional financial aid, then they owe two lenders, then they drop out again, they have no income high enough to match the payment requirements of two lenders...on and on. Plus there's no real accountability for income fluctuation or if students die or leave the country owing the state a big pile of money...on and on.
I'm with the article's author on this, let 'em try. No way would this work in Texas or, say Mississippi where drop out rates are astronomical. Read Should Oregon fund college through equity? |
