My elementary had ~80 kids, and combined 2 grades for each teacher. Good school, and the others were fine too.

I'm mostly critical of the cost and basic structure of higher education. There's more value in something like Khan Academy than the old school method of paying through the nose to occupy space in a classroom, pay through the nose for the class textbooks, and be lectured by someone who may or may not be among the best at teaching the subject at hand.

What I really am opposed to is the hypocrisy and lack of critical thinking ability by administration. There's a facade of liberal and creative thinking, when in actuality there's agenda and intolerance.

Free speech zones... freedom of speech isn't a special privilege for those occupying a specific space, it's an intrinsic inalienable right to free thought.

I see value and purpose to higher education, but not in a general sense that everyone is entitled to it, or that everyone will benefit from it.
