College & Money

Semi good interview at Newsweek on Congress making college more accessible.

Rep. George Miller (CA-D) spends too much time reminding the reader that the Bushies may be pretending like they are or have been working on education but really have failed to move until the Dems put pressure on them... It makes him sound catty and insistent.

He discusses improving costs for middle class families (a definite issue, though, I do slightly wonder how much of an issue it is for in state schools, which he then discusses later). At times the interviewer brings up poorer people, and he comments on it, and theres some weird cross over, but basically the article seems choppy.

Wow...
"Right now, about 35 percent of state college students need remedial education."
Ridiculous! More than a third of students who can get into state college still have to take remedial classes? Can we please fix education yet? Please?
