It's the type of school that cares more about making money, and more specifically, "retention," than whether students actually learn anything. I'm in a much better place now (and I hope the students who left Berkeley are as well).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-71108007056203408432010-03-11T04:10:35.143-05:002010-03-11T04:10:35.143-05:00I must say that this is great.

I called this morning, but the person I was routed to was out. I will try again this afternoon and see what I can get. So far, I just get jive from them. They keep routing me from person to person and telling me "Oh, you need to talk to so and so..." but so and so never seems to either know or want to tell me why they're pushing a for profit college onto their kids.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-16901841992568914882010-02-15T22:45:49.422-05:002010-02-15T22:45:49.422-05:00I think Geoffrey Canada's model of integrating...I think Geoffrey Canada's model of integrating education with social services and supports starting from a very early age is basically the right one, but this "business arrangement" -- if there is one -- exposes its fatal flaw, namely, that it is very expensive and heavily dependent on people with deep pockets willing to fund it. In a 2008 interview with Charlie Rose, Canada said he spends 40% of his time fundraising. Maybe now, with the pioneering glitter worn off, it's getting even harder to raise funds, since philanthropists are generally drawn to shiney new things they can put their names on. They don't like it if you keep coming back to them year after year for more and more money.melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914424371935560500noreply@blogger.com
