Hi Elric -
Just CCed you on another post in reference to this contribution.
On a slightly different note, I'm confused about a few aspects of this proposal:
---
<<...create a program that pairs students with employers, and provides in-class education to those students only in areas that both the employer and student deem appropriate>>
Q1: What's the assessment criteria for determining the appropriateness of a certain class?
---
<<Pair small but strong companies with high school graduates of good merit...>>
Q2. Would this be available to all high school grads of good merit, or limited to grads from certain income brackets?
---
<<...there are two major problems with the higher education system right now. One is that there exist people with great potential that will never see that potential realized because they don't have any means of paying the money it takes to get moving.>>
Q3: How might companies assess untapped potential in bright young minds who may have lacked the support network needed to excel in high school?
PS - I realize just how how annoying these Qs are, so please feel free to ignore them!
