Education

What is wrong with the education system in this country?  Not only is the public school system screwed up but the college system is even worse. The the whole thing is just replete with blatant examples of wasted money and time. Seriously, yesterday I saw the janitors moving snow from one place to another. I could understand if they were moving it a few feet but they were moving it across the parking lot with a tractor. Not only is that a waste of time but its also a waste of gas. In college the wasted money is even worse. They have these all-you-can-eat dining halls where food just sits around all day and the stuff that isn’t eaten is just thrown away. That’s part of the reason why college costs so much, your room and board  alone can cost up to $10000. That is absolutely ridiculous. Most people don’t pay that much for real apartments and actual food. I guess it all comes down to the fact that education has become a business in this country. College tuition should never average 40 grand. Recently, RPI put in a 100 million dollar performing arts center. They are a technical school, why in the world do they need that? I guess when your tuition is $52,000 you don’t have to worry about these things. Education should be about kids learning, no about how big the endowment is.
