lets not forget, a large contributing factor to this decline is the corruption of the educational industrial complex and its bogus tuition increases. Campus profiteering of the federal and state subsidies, the parents, and us young people who work... while not spending a dam dime on real education.

I've seen really good high school teachers and college professors, and then ive seen appalling idiots allowed to teach, merely because they have a PhD.
I don't know how long I could put up with the insanity that I saw other great professors wade through neck deep on a regular basis. Though I thank you for the vote of confidence.
I think, what really changed things was that I got older and wiser on my own. I see highly educated idiots with degrees affirmed as "worthy" to enter the work force, while those without or unable to get degrees are deemed to be "mind-less savages" and thrown to the gutter, regardless of intelligence or ability.

Well I was home schooled and kind of glad as you can tell I lack some social ability's but I can see math as something that does not phase me I am going to start ITT Tech September 16th and I will be dammed if I am going to drop out Ha Ha. I can admit that I am not that bright but with my motivation I am hoping to turn that around. As Michio Kaku says we are raising a generation of dummy's Ha Ha I have always wanted to contribute to the scientific community as well.
