And so it begins.



The financially struggling Amherst liberal arts school announced Wednesday that its incoming freshman class will be just 15 students, as it continues to look for a sustainable path forward. The number of fall 2019 enrollees amounts to a nearly 94 percent decrease from the college's 2018 class of 290 students.

The power of parent! 

for generations most parents have no idea what courses their kids take once they get into school. Hopefully, they are taking a critical look at the cost benefit relationship of their investment and discussing this with their kids.  They are also becoming aware of the corruption of the administration and admissions process.

Hopefully this is a small indication that some parents and students are seeing the light.

It certainly looks that way, doesn't it? For that many to suddenly quit attending a liberal arts school can only mean one thing, people are realizing the worthlessness of the degree.
While technical schools are making a killing. Yeah, I'd say it's a pretty strong indicator of the direction the country is heading.
