What will become of higher education as we know it? Will all of our teachers be dolts and our children graduate with useless degrees?
Hmmmm, well Harvard was not accredited until to 1980's, I believe. I would have to presume that everyone who graduated from Harvard got a useless degree.
Much of the advanced research that has taken place prior to about 1930 took place among amatuers and inventors. On the other hand that can all be thrown out the window because they were not lettered and accredited.
Seriously though, my biggest worry is not that we continue mediocre education in the name of Teachers' Unions but rather an increase in the indoctrination of our teachers.
Since the early part of the last Century when there began a concerted effort to utilize our higher educational institutions to indoctrinate teachers into socialism until the present day we have to fight for common sense and facts. I was recently told, emphatically, that anyone who goes through Macro 101 KNOWS that government needs to pour money into the economy during difficult times. Oddly, that was from a teacher!
Without accredidation will we have teachers separated into camps like those from FOX and those from New York Times? At least now we can see the brainwashing. Will we see papers rejected because it was written by someone from the FOX camp as if we were to say, "Ignore that paper, it was written by a Black, Jew, Gypsy, etc.
