About 'debt of education'|Impending Mountain of Debt - Post Secondary Education








Education:               "The               act               or               process               of               educating               or               being               educated;               the               knowledge               or               skill               obtained               or               developed               by               a               learning               process!"               Inquiries               into               furthering               my               educational               aspirations               were               made               to               various               colleges               within               my               immediate               environmental               area.

Several               of               the               schools               contacted               required               placement               exams               that               I               did               not               challenge,               as               I               am               adept               and               very               capable               of               dealing               with               college               examinations.

The               thing               that               got               to               me               was               the               disparaging               remarks               from               some               college               recruiters               regarding               their               standards               for               education               as               opposed               to               another               college.

One               of               the               schools               that               I've               attended               is               a               two-year               degree               school               while               the               other               is               as               well.

They               hold               real               estate               in               the               same               zip               code               and               competed               for               students               in               the               same               local.

They               both               educated               local               students               as               well               as               out               of               state               and               students               from               other               countries               and               nations.
               One               school               considered               itself               superior               to               the               other               by               reason               of               accreditation.

The               school               that               was               described               as               inferior               did               not               have               middle               states               accreditation.

The               school               was               described               as               below               standard               by               the               other.

The               so-called               superior               school               is               lead               and               operated               by               a               non-HBCU               affiliation               while               the               other               happened               to               be               lead               and               operated               by               an               African               American               staff.

The               self-described               superior               school               has               made               plans,               designs,               and               did               bid               for               the               take-over               of               the               African               American               school.

Albeit,               the               self-described               superior               school               admits               that               it               does               not               and               will               not               accept               credentials               from               the               so-called               inferior               school.

I               have               attended               both               of               these               institutions               and               received               very               good               instruction               from               its               teachers               as               well.

While               the               lessons               learned               were               an               invaluable               source               of               information,               the               education               that               I               received               from               personal               academic               research               (self-taught)               has               enhanced               my               knowledge               base.

Money               was               not               a               factor               in               my               personal               research,               study,               and/or               practicum.

I               would               add,               the               knowledge               and               information               that               was               derived               from               the               HBCU               School               proved               to               be               equally               rewarding               as               the               other               if               not               better!
               Personally,               I               would               say               that               I               received               more               educational               value               at               the               HBCU               (Historical               Black               Colleges               and               Universities)               as               opposed               to               the               other               collegiate               institution.

Albeit,               they               both               required               money.
               When               students               visit               college               campuses               they               are               encouraged               to               become               a               student               at               that               particular               school.

The               tour               guides'               show               all               of               the               amenities               and               accolades               that               are               offered               in               order               to               get               you               enrolled...and               to               gain               your               tuition               monies.

But               what               about               the               quality               of               education               offered               by               the               particular               schools?

The               majority               of               the               colleges               will               often               quote               their               accreditation               as               compared               to               another               school               of               choice.

What               has               accreditation               to               do               with               a               good               and               valuable               quality               education?

Money!

And               the               ability               to               make               money!

Education               does               not               and               should               not               require               money!
               In               1899               Dr.

Matthew               Anderson,               an               outstanding               community               leader,               and               his               wife               Caroline               Still               Anderson               founded               Berean               Manual               and               Industrial               School.

Dr.

Anderson               was               a               pivotal               influence               in               the               religious,               business,               and               educational               history               of               Philadelphia.

Dr.

Anderson               also               founded               the               Berean               Presbyterian               Church               and               the               Berean               Savings               Fund               Society.
               Caroline               Still               is               the               daughter               of               the               great               William               Still,               a               Philadelphia               Abolitionist               and               member               of               the               Underground               Railroad.
               Mr.

William               Still               (a               self-educated               man),               one               of               seventeen               children,               was               born               in               Burlington               County               in               1821.

His               father               escaped               slavery               from               Maryland               to               New               Jersey               and               later               was               followed               by               his               wife               and               children.

William               Still               left               New               Jersey               for               Philadelphia               in               1844.

Three               years               later               he               was               appointed               secretary               of               the               Pennsylvania               Abolition               Society.
               "When               Brother               William               Still               was               23,               he               left               the               family               farm               in               New               Jersey               for               Philadelphia,               to               seek               his               fortune.

He               arrived,               friendless               with               only               five               dollars               in               his               possession.

Mr.

Still               taught               himself               to               read               and               write.

In               fact,               so               well,               that               in               three               years               he               was               able               to               gain               and               hold               the               position               of               secretary               in               the               Pennsylvania               Abolition               Society.

Brother               Still               provided               the               all-white               society               with               his               views               on               how               to               aid               fugitive               slaves.

After               all,               he               had               been               one               himself.

He               was               such               an               asset               to               the               group,               that               he               was               elected               chairman               in               1851.

Still               held               the               position               for               the               next               ten               years.

He               also               became               chairman               of               the               Vigilance               Committee               in               1852.

Still               was               the               first               black               man               to               join               the               society               and               was               able               to               provide               first-hand               experience               of               what               it               was               like               to               be               a               slave."
               "Mr.

Still               established               a               profitable               coal               business               in               Philadelphia.

His               house               was               used               as               one               of               the               stations               on               the               Underground               Railroad.

Brother               Still               interviewed               escaped               fugitives               and               kept               careful               records               of               each               so               that               their               family               and               friends               might               locate               them.

According               to               his               records,               Still               helped               649               slaves               receive               their               freedom.

The               number               is               compounded               with               the               number               of               slaves               saved               by               Sister               Harriet               Tubman               and               the               Underground               Railroad."
               "William               Still,               a               self-educated               man,               began               his               campaign               to               end               racial               discrimination               on               Philadelphia               streetcars.

He               wrote               an               account               of               this               campaign               in               Struggle               for               the               Civil               Rights               of               the               Coloured               People               of               Philadelphia               in               the               City               Railway               Cars               (1867).

He               followed               this               with               The               Underground               Railroad               (1872)               and               Voting               and               Laboring               (1874)."
               "William               Still,               a               self-educated               man,               established               an               orphanage               for               the               children               of               African-American               soldiers               and               sailors.

William               Still               died               in               Philadelphia               on               14th               July,               1902."

Over               the               years,               state               aid               has               enabled               the               school               to               expand               its               services               and               diversify               its               programs               of               study.

               So               why               does               another               school               rate               it's               accreditation               over               and               above               that               of               another?

Money!

Many               colleges               and               universities               rate               its'               educational               values               based               on               the               amount               of               money               in               its'               coffers               as               well               as               the               amount               of               money               that               they               can               amass!

Another               tool               to               increase               superiority               in               the               education               business               is               to               attain               and               maintain               accreditation               and               as               many               acquisitions               as               possible.
               Several               opinions               suggest               education               achieved               through               these               venues               is               designed               to               prepare               people/students               for               the               job               market               as               opposed               to               being               prepared               for               life               skills.

The               skills               required               to               carry               ones               posterity               and               their               descendants               that               follow               into               prosperous               futures.
               Is               it               fair               to               assess               the               stature               of               a               collegiate               institution               above               any               other               based               on               the               amount               of               money               that               is               needed               to               be               spent               or               the               amount               of               education               that               is               achieved?

Ivy               league               institutions               turn               out               many               students               who               are               not               prepared               for               the               challenges               of               life...but               many               of               them               are               rich               and               have               spent               thousands               of               dollars               to               attend               those               schools               as               well               as               graduating               from               them.

On               the               other               hand,               many               poor               people               that               are               lucky               enough               to               qualify               for               grants,               loans,               scholarships,               etc.,               are               better               prepared               to               face               the               challenges               set               before               them               (so               it               seems).
               Many               poor               and               working               poor               students               seem               to               value               the               collegiate               level               education               as               if               their               life               depended               upon               it,               so               they               tend               to               work               a               bit               harder               to               achieve               the               degree               status.

The               document               can               be               deemed               worthless               when               the               graduate               cannot               find               the               desired               job               for               which               he/she               has               studied.

It               is               even               worse               when               the               graduated               student               finds               that               they               are               worse               off               than               when               they               started               college.

They               are               now               burdened               with               school               loan               debt               plus               the               debts               that               they               have               had               to               meet               before               attending               college.

Working               at               McDonalds               and               the               like,               seem               to               be               the               only               job               that               is               attainable               for               many               of               them.

The               competition               is               fierce.

These               students               are               for               the               most               part,               grouped               in               with               many               applicants               that               are               not               college               educated               and               many               do               not               have               high               school               diplomas               as               well!

The               knowledge               attained               is               not               considered               or               tested               by               many               of               these               employers.

Kiosk               type               pictures               on               a               cash-register               computer               is               what               they               have               to               work               with.

Is               this               not               insulting               to               a               student               who               has               studied               computer               science,               read               and               write               computer               programs               and               its               languages,               as               well               as               other               academics               of               study?
               Why               is               it               that               many               non-ivy               league               students               find               themselves               out               of               work?

Why               is               it               that               many               of               them               find               that               they               are               the               first               to               lose               their               employment               positions               compared               to               their               ivy-league               colleagues?

Why               is               it               that               many               inner-city               college               educated               graduates               find               themselves               less               likely               to               be               selected               as               team-leaders               than               their               counter               part               ivy-leaguers?

Many               employers               advertise               their               openings               with               statements               that               don't               require               a               college               level               education.

They               ask               that               candidates               simply               have               a               high               school               level               education.

College               educated               candidates               apply               to               those               openings               and               find               themselves               scrutinized               out               of               the               running,               i.e.,               background               checks,               credit               checks,               criminal               histories,               schooling               activities,               etc.

Why               is               it               college               educated               candidates               find               that               not               only               do               they               have               to               compete               with               ivy-leaguers,               they               have               to               compete               with               high               school               educated               folks               as               well.

What               is               the               sense               in               enduring               hours,               years,               and               other               sacrifices               to               attain               the               coveted               two               and/or               four-year               college               level               degree               when               you're               not               going               to               qualify               for               the               job               anyway?
               The               notion               of               accreditation,               money,               and               notable               stature               should               not               be               the               basis               of               choosing               the               collegiate               route               to               education.

Education               should               be               based               on               ones               ability               to               achieve,               retain,               and               utilize               education.

The               achievement               of               education               begins               in               the               home               (as               well               as               anyone               who               desires               it).

It               begins               with               the               Childs'               upbringing               and               the               stressed               importance               placed               by               the               parent               and/or               guardian.

Should               the               child               be               highly               scholastic               in               abilities               that               enable               him/her               to               be               described               as               intellectually               talented               above               average,               that               student               deserves               free               college               education.

While               the               rest               of               us               who               are               collegiate               material               may               well               have               to               pay               for               our               higher               education.

Mind               you,               my               argument               is               based               on               the               ability               to               access               education               without               having               to               spend               money...teachers               need               to               earn               a               living,               schools               need               to               pay               the               costs               of               operating               and               maintaining               buildings               and               staff.

So               the               money               has               to               come               from               somewhere.

Albeit,               the               aforementioned               disparages               between               different               colleges               should               cease               the               practice               of               who's               a               better               institution               of               higher               learning.

Is               it               the               responsibility               of               educated               people               to               enlighten               people               who               are               not?
               While               many               may               not               be               aware,               education               is               achievable               without               attending               so-called               accredited               and/or               less               accredited               schools,               of               higher               learning...start               with               the               libraries               in               your               homes               as               well               as               the               public               facilities,               news               papers,               magazines,               shared               information,               and               articles.

Why               is               the               education               attained               by               others               kept               to               a               level               of               secrecy               that               one               should               have               to               pay               for               it?
               Attained               and               acquired               education               is               the               responsibility               of               the               educational               pursuer...the               burden               is               placed               solely               on               the               student               not               the               educational               pursued.

I'm               not               advocating               that               one               can               become               a               doctor,               architect,               or               a               lawyer               by               simply               reading               text...there               is               a               difference               between               education               and               training.
               Education               is               yours               to               achieve               and               it               can               be               free.
