Q: According to Bird, what are the faults of a college education? What is the "contrary evidence" (paragraph 4) against college education.
A: According to Bird, the faults of a college education are with the young people themselves due to the fact that they are spoiled, and expect too much. Another reason is because their arent enough jobs and there are too many under-skilled workers. The last reason is because technology is behind.
The contrary evidence against college education is that some educators are beginning to agree that college isnt always the best thing for every student, immediately following high school. They are now beginning to reason that its not college that makes you smart, witty, and able to succeed. They are assuming that it may be the other way around that it is the already intelligent, happy, and quick-learning people who are attracted to going to college in the first place.
Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteWhile I appreciate your response to the question, and what I should have clarified, is I too want you to include your personal narration. So if we were to further this post, let's reflect on some of the questions you may ask yourself.
1) Based on your personal experience, is it best if young people wait to attend college?
2) Based on your personal experience, you waited to attend college? Was this the best decision you could make? Why or why not?
