The Hidden Costs of Higher Ed: Response?
Posted by tom | Aug 26, 2011The other day I posted The Hidden Costs of Higher Ed (Noah S. Bernstein. NY Times Op-Ed. 8/21/2011) to the Emerging Scholars Network FB page In brief FB fashion, in order for the material to go to Twitter, I commented: Higher ed & the leveraging of resources to provide it costs $. As w/cars, houses, tech, we can't all have high end & don't need to.
Then I posted a comment: What are your thoughts? Note: W/regard to higher ed, I've had what our family can afford. Not sure what that will mean for our kids. We're encouraging & developing practical life skills. As you may guess, it's not a strength of mine. I'm learning a lot about myself & embracing life as I can tomatoes, raise chickens, consider bee-keeping, & take advantage of various community activities w/our family.
Sharing the question/conversation with you :)
