24:57 Hard Times Generation
I was a student that got no scholarships after high school graduation due to my poor grades and GPA. Today, I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry. I'm saddened to see my friends that got full-rides and never even finished their degrees. I can't wait to graduate and upset a lot of people.
The kids that do well in high school aren't necessarily the ones who excel in college. AND the workforce is another beast! Great job!!!
Awesome! ❤️
Congrats!
Way to go!!🙌🏾
Don't hold grudges and don't hold hate and don't forget the best revenge is to "LIVE WELL"
Educate people born in poverty. Education should be for all. The educated folks born in poverty will give back by building up this country and lifting their communities out of poverty over the generations.
@@alphathefirstone1222 You've got a point, but for those who want to pursue higher education and have potential for academia, we shouldn't let that talent go to waste.
@@alphathefirstone1222 Your list is good. There is more than one way towards a good life.
@@alphathefirstone1222 The problem with the military (i served in the Marines) is why should only poor people serve in the military to get a fair chance. Why is it poor and people of color job to defend this country. LOL at owning business? You think these institutional racist banks are giving out loans to black and brown people. Be real! I agree with trade school, not enough people explore that option.
The Seed schools should be in every city
@@crystalsswtor3760 I don't think the seed school is comparable on any level to preparatory schools, because unlike prep schools, the seed school doesn't weed out students, since any student can attend based on winning the lottery. The truth is, to really garner excellent academic results, only the best and brightest from the community should be invited to attend.
Yet the question no one seems to ask: why is the price of tuition so high in the first place?
Right.
Profit over people
🎯
It’s business
Here is the thing. A lot of people are not ready for college at the age of 18 and don't know what they want out of life. It is important to work for a few years and see the real world before making such a huge financial commitment. I wouldn't make my son or daughter basically take out a mortgage at the age of 18 and don't know anything about life. Go work and come back with a fresh perspective for a few years. That's what my roommate did and he's been doing well ever since.
True and even better, go work abroad
Amen!! I was a TF kid unlike many of my peers @ the the time…( generationally old family $$$). But my highschool graduating peers didn’t know I was a TF kid. Bc I was instructed not to discuss what my family in all of its generations net value were worth .
So as TF kid I was “ informed” that I had a security blanket ( the established TF to rely on IF I wanted to go to college when the time the came. Here’s the thing, bc I was a TF kid though, I didn’t LIVE like a TF kid. In other words my family & I blended in with the society around us. We drove ford/Toyota family vehicles; we lived in a modest middle class suburban neighborhood & I attended all: public, private, and even parochial schools throughout my life. I CaME from a TF family but We WEREnT living the “ Princeton SNOBBERY “ aka: Bougie lifestyle that is exposed & acknowledged here. We Never OWNED luxury cars, and we never lived in mansions much less mini mansions. We’re we’re & still are an old $$$$$$$ family and we’re NEVER lived the high end lifestyle.
humblehallfamily
Completely agree. And also, not every kid is geared toward college. Some go to trade schools. This idea that you HAVE to go to college and that a degree=success is a LIE we have been force fed. Unless to you buy into the idea that money=success. There are people in the world with first class education, degree(s) on their walls and huge amounts of money in the bank and are still the most unhappy, unfulfilled people on the planet...regardless of their race. People have to decide what's right for them and that doesn't always mean having college experience with a degree.
@@Julieglam3 I definitely agree with you Ma'am.
7:45-7:55 range. The young lady is entirely correct. Growing up in a household that encourages, supports, and lays out the path toward a college education is a MASSIVE advantage. And yes, it's a leg up right from the get-go.
Read my reply above
Very true, but depriving kids of their childhood for long school hours and homework is so sad. They need to look at other education systems outside of the US..
@@jjjjjjjjooolllllllllll8395 They need to learn, and if they have to be forced to do so, so be it.
@@jjjjjjjjooolllllllllll8395 When you, de facto, have to catch up with so many things first before even being able to follow, understand & cope with the curriculum of your age group, where ever you happen to be living, you have to, deliberately, make a choice, take a decision, of either you give up - on yourself - or you watch and face what's doable in the same amount of time as anybody else, or as your circumstances give/let you have, if you decide to bet on yourself and acknowledge that you are no less worthy than your neighbour in the classroom or somebody you are a fan of, to make the efforts it'll take.
You said "childhood" where you actually meant "innocence", or a certain kind of ""carefree attitude" that goes with youth. Well, it's true for all kinds of kids, faced with all kinds of hardship, problem, difference : they have to suddenly become deliberate, more engaged, and become actors of their own lives... And, the rest, i think, is a matter of temper, and of each human's level of resilience, which also is said to be a trait of youth...

Recap by Tammy AI
College is a scam. So is the military. I’ve been through both.
Wow. The note at the end of the video. The Metzger children were being abused while this was being made, and nobody knew, nobody told, nothing was said. Shocking.
I hope he rot in jail. I'm happy for both she and her brother on getting an education.
Those poor kids could not catch a break
These schools only accept ~5% of applicants, so good grades isn't enough. It's amazing to see how they are rethinking their values. The point is that they are recontextualizing what makes an applicant stand out to help admissions staff understand that there is value in things other than legacy, extra curriculars, travel abroad, etc. which is what used to give kids a leg up. Now working to help support your family can also be equally as valued. Getting good grades while living in poverty or coming from a single parent household is a hell of an accomplishment and should be treated as such.
I did it and got into the University of Southern California without this.
Lol the meritocratic way to get in is having your car dealership owning dad be in the same country club as the board of regents.
I don't know where you got that figure from, but I t's incorrect. That 5% is not only wrong, but it's ridiculous! Think about it.

College was the most costly mistake of my entire life. 25 years of payments, I will never dig out under predatory interest rates under an IDR.
Interest will no longer accrue under the overhauled IDR program now called The SAVER program. Plus since 1992 Student loans are forgiven after 20 years of payment, which was bumped up to 25 years under Trump and lowered back down under Biden. Payments have also been reduced from 10 percent to 5 percent of discretionary income. people making under 32,000 will pay zero per month and will count as payment towards the 20 year forgiveness clause.
A lot parents are still brainwashed and feeding their children into this dis-education meat grinder. They to will end up with debts they can't repay. Its all part of the propaganda to keep people enslaved to the system
Then the system works. Your corporate overlords decided decades ago filthy poors like you can't be trusted to just get higher education.
You need to be enslaved with debt so you don't use your learnin to threaten the economic status quo your masters benefit from.
Powell memorandum.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

it makes me sick...bingo for a chance at life. a number on a ball...disgusting..EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE A LOTTERY!!!
Why not? That's just applying the reality of the economic system they all live under to the education system.
I’m happy for Arielle and Austin. She’s graduated from law school and her brother is in uni. I hope and pray she gets over her father’s physical and sexual assault.
Google: From Homeless Teen To Stetson Graduate
Autumn Hope Johnson describes how the response to a 2011 60 Minutes story "changed my life"
I was really touched by what Arielle said at the end but then the horrible note appeared, my sympathy (and respect) is even stronger.
I worked as a founder teacher at a brand new Charter HS in East San Jose, and after three years, I was burned out. That poor teacher being proud of being there until 10:30 pm will not make it. No one can work without a set contractual day for a career of 30+ years. They’ll die trying.
That’s YOU. I’m in education and everyone is different. They’ll adjust.
@@anneallen5165Found the sucker
This should expand throughout the US this program is awesome every child deserves a chance❤
You are right. Every child does deserve a chance to be safe and succeed in this world.
@@prettypocahontas1458Sounds like communism.
Luckily here in sweden, education - even university is free
I grew up poor. I've always worked so hard to avoid being there ever since. Poverty is a killer in just about every aspect of a life. The human spirit has no skin color or accent, it's great to see any good person do well
Some very familiar and close to my heart stories! These experiences don’t wash away but they can make you stronger ❤😢
Here's what the deal is: many public, private, and for profit universities and colleges sit on and grow their hundreds of billions in endowment funds-especially public and private ivy league schools(i.e. UVA or Harvard). What people don't realize is there is so much insane amounts of money out there, and virtually anyone can attend college for free, but do not attend for free because colleges were designed and engineered to generate profit, grow endowment funds, and exploit students for fees and out of control costs.
This 👆🏿
@dugebuwembo I do agree with u that there's money out there Iam seeing it with my son during his college entry he applied to several schools got accepted into all of them and some were offering generous grants along side financial aide.He will start college in the fall at a private college and the first yr cost again after aid and grants which his grant is renewable for the four yrs is under $10k and I know some might say that's still alot but considering it's a private institution I think it's not that bad in out of pocket cost compared to other Schools he was accepted to
Also the students need to be put in debt. Because people in debt don't threaten the status quo
Bullseye 🎯
I am totally encouraged. Even though i am struggling now, i have big hopes.
So inspiring as a teacher!
12:44 🎉 their joy made me so happy!! Nobody can't imagine what this truly means when you can't afford education!
From Homeless Teen To Stetson Graduate
May 22, 2020
As a homeless 15-year-old, Arielle Metzger stood beside the old truck that served as home for her family in 2011 and told CBS “60 Minutes” that education “is everything to us.”
“I plan to be a child defense lawyer,” she said on the national news program. “If I focus on my studies, I have that opportunity.”
This month, she graduated from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a 3.35 GPA. Her name has since been changed to Autumn Johnson. But she still plans to apply to law school and become an advocate for children, after her wedding to her longtime boyfriend.
Her journey over the past nine years is a moving story set into motion by a mere coincidence, or providence, as she now sees it. Just days after completing her undergraduate degree, she was interviewed on campus for “CBS This Morning” and the segment will air Tuesday, May 19, during the 8 a.m. hour.
Her story began with the Great Recession of 2008 when her family joined the wave of people losing their homes to foreclosure. Her father, a carpenter and handyman in Central Florida, had been hit hard in the economic downturn. Her mother had passed away in early 2000.
When the family lost their home in May 2010, her father bought the old truck for $1,000 on Craigslist. He moved into it with Autumn, her younger brother and their meager possessions. Home was wherever he could find an inconspicuous place to park the truck in the Sanford area.
A Second-hand T-shirt
Back then, a local church would set up every Thursday at the Sanford Civic Center beside scenic Lake Monroe to feed the homeless. The church also put out second-hand clothing, folded, stacked in piles and available for free to people in need.
In one stack, Autumn spotted a green-and-gray Stetson University T-shirt. “I found it,” she recalled, “along with a Yale shirt, at the bottom of a pile of clothes.”
The Yale shirt was too small. But the Stetson shirt was the right size and her favorite color: green.
“I immediately loved it because it was a baseball T-shirt and I was very much a tomboy,” she said.
Around the same time, a state social worker received a report of a family living in a truck in the parking lot of the Lake Mary YMCA.
The social worker found the family and questioned them about their living situation. During the discussion, the social worker mentioned that “60 Minutes” had contacted her, wanting to interview homeless families living in their vehicles. Would they be interested?
The family agreed. A then-freshman honors student at Seminole High School, Autumn wore the shirt when the CBS crew filmed her walking through the school’s covered breezeways and sitting on a bench, reading.
The segment, “Hard Times Generation,” aired Nov. 27, 2011, and it prompted an incredible outpouring of support, CBS News reported. At Stetson, President Wendy B. Libby, PhD, received a flood of emails from faculty, alumni and others wanting to help the teen.
“It was so obvious to me upon meeting Autumn and her brother that the university, in line with our mission, had to offer free tuition, room and board,” Libby said recently. “And her brother is making his way through campus; he’s going to be a junior next year. So, I’m very thankful we could do that for them. I really congratulate her on her graduation, her engagement and her future. And I really hope she goes to Stetson Law."

I’m so proud of these kids
This 60 minutes was beautiful 😊 and inspiring 😊
Great report!!! I almost cried. Great humanity still thrive in America.
Lol thrive. They are alive. That is not the same thing.
@@Praisethesunson No I meant thrive because with so much hate spreading through out the globe love for humanity is becoming rare. Our religious community has become so arrogant and passed love that they have lost the correct focus on what our main focus should be on earth
Thank you very much 👍
We live in a system that rewards owners but we send kids to school to be obedient workers.
The workers Create the wealth the owners Keep the wealth. How is this accomplished ? Not via talent. Not via hard work. Then how ? Via ownership. The owner / Oligarchs control the game.
First sane comment here
Love this!
I teared watching this ❤
16:50 Love it!! 45 minutes of reading per day!!! ❤
Very inspiring
GOD bless Mr. and Mrs. Gates for helping students. A true blessing. 🙏🏽⚘
When I clicked on this video, I thought it was going to be actually addressing the cost of college, not about Bill Gates sending a handful of kids to college for free...
Forever grateful
This is so beautiful!
It seems we are returning to those infamous days of Homelessness. In places like San Francisco, it's worse than ever.
Well if we didn't have homeless people how could banks and landlords extract the most possible money out of suckers like you? You need to see the threat of what happens when you don't buy into the artificial restriction to access basic shelter.
Awesome!!
About 75 % of the classes offerred at top level schools could be taught on line. There is no reason that these classes should be limited to sitting in the classroom. The cost of school per student could be reduced by a large amount. Why isn't that happening?
Human connection is very important. Also, there is something dynamic about learning, in the company of others and exchanging ideas, face to face.
Spencer, you are correct; it is all about the money. Most college degrees our useless
Laziness
I graduated college when I was 27. Now I make less than $20k a year. To buy a house you need to work two jobs and go the extra mile to be notice by upper management. Attending a good college is a requirement in life to get a high income.
Very interesting
I feel like crying watching the boy's eyes being interviewed..😢He looks sad..😢
Brillian children. I like how Ariel is positive to call the situation "an adventure."
It's sad we're past the point of having a family safely in the US. I've been laid off twice and the housing market is insane here.
I'm hoping to move abroad and build a career, buy a small home, and start a family. SEA is high on my list.
The takers have got to learn to gave back, if capitalism will survive. Corporations have got to invest in single family homes."affordable"for their workers.instead of luxury homes and apartments rentals.that means 90% of people will be covered because everyone works somewhere.hence the responsibility rest squarely on government to supply the housing market with affordable houses for citizens. much we complain about the capitalist method, it's their prerogative to invest their money on they terms.
@@lloydmoore982Wrong! The more homeless the more money can be extracted out of the ever fewer people left in housing. Long term thinking is for communists. Our capitalist overlords care about this quarter.
3:13 Wow! 🎉Kudos to her for earning that bachelor's and master's degrees in Education. GREAT INITIATIVE by the Gates Foundation l! ❤
I've been in Central Florida. It's no joke.
why not just reduce to cost of college, why do common people need to depend on the rich ??? this is big scam by rich people...
In some counties are almost free the superior education. The capitalism can not solve all problems, problems that its ocurrence affecs, directly a human being from childhood. They are: Health, household and eductation
The SCOTUS with 2 decisions just made it much more difficult for poor and minority students.
No, they made it equal to everyone.
@@BH-xp8icexactly. This is what equality looks like. Character, not color.
What? Did you not watch the video - Princeton does not use skin color to create diversity - they use income status. That is what the s.ct decision is about - we don’t have to discriminate by race to achieve diversity. Also read the decision - Harvard denied Asians admission based on the sole fact that they were Asian. You support that???
@@thewaterengine No i support none of that, there shouldn’t be a line on any application for race. It’s the very definition of racism.
I grew up poor and a minority and never once felt at a disadvantage to anyone. Quit blaming others for your deficiencies. Quit asking for a handout.
I got chills, because I was accepted into college based on my background. Other institutions would not of given me a chance. Now, I am pursing my masters. The youth is the future. America will not survive if racism persists.
So it is always a chance for low-income and high-income what about the people in the middle
They got lost it can't afford these colleges and they can't earn it free
College has destroyed many lives. Because trade schools are not pushed the way that colleges are, which is a massive profitable industry for the shareholders, lot of kids who thought that college would be a magical entry to a better life only found their minds worked by woke ideology, or even if they resisted the work ideology, they didn't learn anything practical, and then in either case they graduate with tons of debt. If they graduate at all. With debt that will haunt them for next 15 years. Have they gone to trade school? They could have begun making money immediately with little debt at age 23
The destruction of the middle class has been the goal of the White House for some time.
To bridge this gap is extremely important yet it is also just as imperative not to dilute the curriculum / material. Think of surgeons and fighter pilots, their curriculum would never be readjusted to accommodate this issue. Therefore, the best individual will be the one or increase the probability of lost lives.
They had that recession but I could never even think of having the money that those people had. I was always poor and could never get out of it, or caught up in peoples politics. I was already homeless once, and no it was not due to drugs, and now I'm facing that again, because of my age, and yes I'm still looking for work and I have a job too. I am starting up my education again, so I'm hoping that helps on top of my job search, but I get turned down a lot. The salvation army is hanging up on me when I call them, so that seems to be out of the question. Still trying to be hopeful
Once again, what is not being address it the over inflated cost of education in the US, some of these schools cost per semester more that the parents make in a year.
Spot on!!!!!
That's by design champ. High cost puts the poors in debt. Poors in debt don't challenge the status quo. That's the point.
You hit the Bullseye. @@Praisethesunson
Poor kids are being deprived of their childhood to obtain 30% higher grades than their low income peers. They should look at Finland's education system - no homework, lots of free time, and successful students
Americas school system was designed to circumvent the brown v board decision.
American schools today are more racially segregated(and class segregated) than they were in the 70"s.
Is that the conclusion you came to after listening keenly to the report? Not one kid expressed deprivation, but instead confidence, joy, and intelligence. The poverty-stricken environments they came from deprived them of life, safety, and education. Please listen to the broadcast again.
@@eslom1489 Sir, I never said that the specific kids being interviewed weren't happy in front of the camera. Of course they are in a better situation, which is good, but what's disappointing is that the approach is completely wrong (feel free to disagree)
I'm happy to see Georgia State University there.
How can my kids apply for these scholarships?
A degree will not help if people don’t know how to work hard and have a degree in something economically useful.
You are laughing at snail mail but its more sentimental and memorable to get that especially if it’s very significant one.
They could include trauma trained therapists to work with the kids with C-PTSD. Without real therapist the 11% drop out won't make it.
Glad to see Georgia State U represented.
Proud graduate of The University of Central Florida
My kids when to UT and Princeton they came out stupider that when they when in.
What the system dossent do to their people, how can they just stop helping familys because they hasn't found a job..
I feel so bad fore thoes people.
What has this world come to 😢
That would never happen here In Denmark.
Gates has been getting a lot of bad press lately and this 60 Minutes piece helps to rehabilitate his image.
He is a master of PR, he spends so much money financing media companies he knows exactly what to do & say to manipulate the impression people have of him.
Very inspiring video however, what about my bright girls who are unable due to our financial situation’s to go to college without incurring life altering debt especially if they can’t make it through however they deserve a chance to try???
Middle income families are being so left behind when they earn barely above the criteria to qualify for any financial aid.
I love to see changes such as this! The overturning of affirmative action in the US was such a loss, and I’m saying that as a white female who is definitely not the first person in her family to go to college. Those from lower socio-economic statuses don’t have the same advantages that others do. Affirmative action gives them a chance. Those who are from the upper class will still get into college, just maybe not their first choice. This is what is best for the economy and country as a whole.
Affirmative action based on race just erodes standards and produces less qualified graduates b/c its not merit based. Affirmative action based on income is a much better method since the assessment criteria is merit based so standards don't get eroded. That's the key....
It's good to give back. Thank you Bill and Melinda Gates for supporting American education and global health.
Did Rojay eventually go to college and graduate?
ITS ABSURD & then colleges ask alumni for donations. WHAT?!
Yep. Get suckered the whole way through.
10:25 *Andrew Yang has entered the chat*
so sad that we need to draw a lottery for a chance at a quality education
Not enough quality teachers they can afford to pay private school level salary. Public school is full of teachers that won't be qualified to teach at expensive schools.
@@JM-gg8koLol you managed to be wrong on every count. Well done.
Why? You need to draw a lottery for a chance at a quality economic position. Might as well reflect that in the education system.
There are few things in life that one will never regret achieving. A college degree is one of those things. 📚📚📚
I know some people with 6 figures of debt who certainly do lmao
My experience of university was horrible. Nasty, uncaring, self-interested teaching faculty. Disgusting.
prove it
There are loads of people who are paying off student debt well into there 50s because the job Market can't give them the wages necessary to get above and over the interest payments.
That's lifetime regret!
@@Munchmaster2000 Poor financial choices can be made at any age and for many reasons.
Going to college is brutal! Isn't there something easier?
Being born into a rich family is easier. Have you tried that?
@@Praisethesunson Unfortunately, that is not a choice that anyone has...
@@chukchee Well the other option is that you filthy poors collectively organize to fight for your interests. But that is communism. Better to just keep toiling away to make profits for the already wealthy.
Unfortunately, graduating from college and universities has seen much better days. Since the turn of the 21st Century, college degrees are increasingly worthless with dim wit life outlooks. Read "The College Scam" book written by Charlie Kirk!! The cost of this book is like pennies as compared to college tuition and fees.... Good read!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
surest way to narrow gap is college degree? From personal experience my engineering degree is worthless and terrible waste of time & money. My advice - want to be hopelessly poor & homeless? Then go earn a degree like mine. There's a reason it's called "BS".
Engineering is one of the best, highest paying degrees to get. If you can’t get a job from that, that’s on you. Don’t discourage people from getting stem degrees.
@@annawalsh1904 yeah I guess I was upset right then. However I can make some point that people should not listen to others when it comes to the degree. Once I knew myself better and trusted my own opinions I realized the only engineering that would work for me was Civil.
I wouldn't like working outside in all weather they said, just thought I would. Problem is they were talking about themselves. One year in my thirties I supervised landfill liner installation in the winter on a hill in New England. Approval delays, earmarked funds, typical reasons for such stupidity. However I did just fine. For me better than the office.
So my advice is know yourself learn about the career that you're working towards and ultimately other people might give you advice and may mean well but you need to trust yourself on these important choices.
Thank you Princeton. I don’t usually agree with affirmative action, but as a first gen college grad from a single parent household, this is the best approach to equality.
I think it’s great that Mr and Mrs Gates are giving scholarships. However, there are so many other ways to achieve “upward mobility” instead of “going to college.” Going to college is not a magic ticket to wealth. Just because someone doesn’t go to college doesn’t mean that you’re shut out of the American dream.
I know people with high school degrees who “figured it out” and they are wealthier than I am.
Mr. Gates, China will NEVER beat us at ANYTHING.
God Bless the people who need help in these hard times 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
Markets break those people while you do nothing but pray
@@Praisethesunson have no clue what you are talking about!! Lol
@@pacdonitti Good. That means the system works. Make sure to pay your tithe and your landlord/bank. While you pray to be liberated from a system you know nothing about.
@@Praisethesunson you just mind your business. How about that!! You are not qualified to tell anybody anything on what a person should and should not do or believe in. You have no clue what I do!! Your opinion does not matter. You replied to something I said. So mind your business!! Your mother should have taught you that much!!! 😂
Poverty affects academic performance especially children. Using the current performance for a homeless child is a guarantee he won't progress.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The public education system has gotten so bad that a program like SEED needed to be created....damn.
That's by design. Public education is a threat to the interests of our corporate overlords.
Let's not forget, you don't go to college to get a job, you go to college to start your own "BUSINESS"
The Seed founders are some incredible human beings. God bless you both!
❤ JUST DO IT!
0:22 “The surest way to narrow the wealth gap is to earn a college degree.” Orly? Because I have a college degree, and my plumber out-earns me 3:1. Even if you factor in overhead, she still earns more than double.
Why do people have to go to a private school after HS? Those freshmen and sophomore classes are no better than at any ordinary school. Get your electives out of the way at your local Community College (and possibly get your two year degree) and then transfer to a state school. I work in higher ed. I see students driving cars way more expensive than what I drive. What's going on? Can't Junior live a simple life? Looking at the poor quality of students I sometimes get, I think we need to trim the number of students getting into higher education based on IQ and true intentions to actually STUDY. College is NOT for everyone and it doesn't have to be.
This man...this great man Christopher Ludwig Eisgruber is one of a kind.
And I don't say that lightly..
He is doing everything possible to humanize Princeton University without compromising the quality quality.
Even as one of my children (currently at Princeton University) pays almost the full price, I admire this great man Christopher Ludwig Eisgruber!!!👏🏽 👏🏽
Princeton has produced some of America's greatest war criminals.
Very lightning on the stresses you go through in life. The thing to keep in mind is God first and continue to strive.
Stop believing in an empty figment of a GAWD!
GAWD, big daddy in the sky is only made up to keep you poor and keep you subservient.
It's made up fairytales and fallacies to make you feel better for the situation you can't escape
you'd think god would do something to help
the truth is all those first generation kids will never be able to afford to tuition when compared to the wealthier families in the first place. so really you are setting them up for failure.
@@alphathefirstone1222Bad bot. Stop shilling for your masters uncle tom.
I have to laugh….the video on Princeton is put together by ASU?
Autumn spoke really said other kids should be grateful for what they have and not fight with their parents when it was, in fact, prudent for her to have fought with her parent. Oof.
Why not make a certain percentage of all college admissions--if not all college admissions--a completely random lottery. There are x number of spots... as many people can throw their names into the lottery (for a small fee) as want to, you have to have at least certain, basic requirements to enter (for example, high school diploma or GED... certain scores on SAT / ACT... etc--but nothing too stringent), and if you are chosen you have to (a) come up with the cash / loans or scholarship money--and you have ONE year to prove yourself... in terms of grades / test scores / etc. Instead of basing hiring on where you went to school... transition to hiring based on EXIT exams, internships, first year employment results / reviews, etc.
What would that accomplish?
@@drusillawinters212 Are you not watching the episode? The basic premise is that a college education is the best way to move up from poverty to the middle class. But if the best universities--and most decent universities in general--are choked out with wealthier students from families already in the middle class--or the 1%--who don't NEED that highly respected college education to move up and out of poverty--that keeps making the rich richer and the poor poorer--which creates and perpetuates countless social ills in America. Making the admissions process more of a lottery and less of a good ol' boy network would at the very least make the prospect and the process of getting the best higher education possible more fair than it is now.
@@Big_Island_Boi How about building more and more great universities to meet the high demand created by the increasing number of college admission applicants ?
I mean we are talking about a country (The US) that has an annual defence budget of about US$ 800 billion - a defence budget that may be more or less, riddled with price gouging defence contracts.
We must have seats for low income and minority students. The more seats the better. In addition we need trades recruiting kids at HS while the kids are in HS
Where does the college money really go? I dont see professors driving lamborghinis so why have college costs risen so much?
Administrative bloat
Bc of the OLDER generational attitude toward the “ idolization” of money & those who have it vs those who don’t.
In other words the larger society’s Odolization of the HAVEs & the who’s who among society VS the have nots
All of them living in fear of they are going to pay the bills on time to survive.
Great! Now do that for every other school in America not just ivy leagues!
Were also hurting for trade skills people as well. We do need plumbers. :)
