Our public education system has never been held accountable for it's management of budgets. I've never seen any polls conducted to quantify public feelings nor are there ever any polls taken for student comments. It's as if our education system lives in a swamp full of Alligators and there are no directions on how to drain the swamp! Our k-12 system doesn't educate to a level required by colleges. There is little to no effort to teach vocation and technical skills. What vocational education, (at a certifiable level), is available are sorely lacking in content and space. I think most Alaskan's feel that OJT is good enough but I'd rather that my Nurse or dental hygienist or my auto mechanic, was not OJT produced!I guess the best thing the University could ask themselves is, "Do we want to teach or do we want to play games"? Which is more important a most likely to produce what this state needs?
