Sanders "Fifty years ago, you had a high school degree you could go out in this economy and probably get yourself a damn good job at decent pay," he told a big crowd at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison during a boisterous rally last month. "Today, in many respects a college degree is the equivalent of what a high school degree was 50 years ago. In the year 2016, we need to make public colleges and universities tuition-free!"
Do you understand that does not mean that high school courses are being taught in college?

Would you like to compare the quality of education today with that of yesteryear? You can twist what his meaning was all you wish, but the truth is there.
Before I had my degree, I was given reports to edit for those with college degrees that wrote like grade schoolers. They might as well have written their reports using crayons. When I had my first two year degree, I was making as much as my co-worker that had a PhD. I was an average student in high school. Apparently, you folks are not examining any of today's children's home work assignments or you would realize how dumbed down their classes have become. And this has nothing to do with the IQ of today's children. It has to do with lowering the standards so that they can increase the graduation numbers. If you don't believe me, then check out the world stats on education comparison.
And no, I do not edit my comments on here for proper grammar and spelling. It's just a conversation with no identity reputation to protect.
