Who would hire you if you lose to prison debate team

only on the coli is every university a joke.....

Just read a thread today in the booth about UCLA is a joke, now Harvard is a joke, what next MIT, CalTech and Harvey Mudd are a joke too .

I have a strong anti harvard bias. I dislike upenn slightly less. To say i hate higher education is a misrepresentation of my response. I strongly belive harvard is not the antithesis of what enlightenment is all about. I dont share these views about MIT, Carnegie, Stanford, etc. I have the utmost respect for those institutions. I just have a huge issue with harvard is what higher education should look like. There are many institutions out here churning out real human beings as opposed to the morally ambivalent a$$holes that roam that school.

Want to know who has a propensity for crime? Look at the admissions into harvard, close your eyes, and take a pick.

Some of the smartest cats I ever met was in prison, very very smart men who could have owned their own business but decided to live a life of crime.

Thanks for tagging me breh

The movie this would be

Great Debaters 2: Behind Bars

The inspiring story of three men who lost it all, and with the help of a passionate volunteer (played by Tom Hanks ) they learn that just because you're at the bottom, doesn't mean you can't rise to the top! Rated pg-13 for sexual situations. Starring Tom Hanks, Clifford "TI" Harris, Anthony Mackie, Omar Benson Miller, Sandra Bullock, and David Morse as The Warden.

University is a joke though. It is more about elitisms than education.

The only good thing about University is access to laboratory equipment. For example, if you are studying medicine, then you need to open up a cadaver and see what's inside.

But if you are doing a degree that is strictly understanding concepts and memorizing jargon, there is NO need for University.

World Governments need to develop a standardized system whereby various curricula are posted for anybody with internet access. You are given up to 4 years to study the material. When you feel ready, you write a standardized exam. If you pass, you get a degree.

People need to be given a choice to study on their own rather then to pay $50K, and still learn everything on your own anyways

The only tuition student's should be paying for is access to University equipment (cadavers, robots, computers, libraries and etc).

This is the opinion of someone who has 2 scientific degrees, and is about to complete a third.

I'm trying to find a link to that video of 60 minutes where they showed the prison where they implemented a college there for violent offenders, it was great.
If anyone can find it, maybe it's because I'm on mobile.

Seems right . When you take a bunch of inmates who have nothing better to do but study and practice debates all day against a B level college of cacs who got by by daddy's money and shoulder rubbing then it's obvious who would win

You know nothing about those students to insult them.

Maximum Security Education
Found it.
Great video.

You are given up to 4 years to study the material. When you feel ready, you write a standardized exam. If you pass, you get a degree.

The problem is the lawsuits from people who can't pass the standardized tests. Potential teachers are suing various states because they can't pass certain teacher exams. George Washington University just made the SAT optional and I think Hamilton College no longer accepts any entrance exam at all.

It is possible to save on college tuition with AP and CLEP exams. This is an extreme example, but David Bahn had so many AP credits that he took heavy course loads and graduated from the University of Virginia with a dual major in math and physics in one year. He finished college in 1 year--for $200.

No reason to believe that people who commited a crime (I choose not to use the word "criminal") are less intelligent than people who didn't.

Malcolm X destroyed ivy league debaters so not sure why this is surprising. Ivy league is only the creme of the crop in white supremacy, most those kids are cluesess weirdos with entitlement issues, so not sure why we glorify these kids who are being groomed to continue the system instead of changing the world.

There isn't that much of a difference between Harvard and any other high-achieving university.
The school produces some absolutely incredible students in all fields, from medicine and law, to engineering and programming, to writing and dance.
shyt, I wish I could have the resources from that school at my disposal, as well as the alumni network.
Have you ever been to Harvard, or talked to any of the students? Reading William Deresiewicz doesn't count.
