There IS one very big thing missing from Obama's efforts concerning college students.

At *best* he proposes treating the symptom - AGAIN - and not the disease.

The disease is educational expenses rising 2-4 times faster than the rate of inflation. You tell me another job where, once you've created your material, you go to work a few times a week for a few hours, grade some papers and hold a few meetings and that's it. You get a couple of months off. Tweak your curriculum a little (unless you're one of the few in a field that has new developments - like some sciences) and do it all over again. After a set number of years, you get "tenure" and can't be fired.

People complain (while being misinformed) about how 'little' school teachers work? Try "college professor".
