New California law

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

I'm In Newport Beach, South Orange County area.... Tons of rich fucks, white republicans and Kobe Bryant the 1 black guy...... Different level of status out here. Everyone is trying to compete with each other to the highest degree out here. More leased BMW, Mercedes than anywhere else in the country.

Most of the country is this way tho. I live in a very nice area of Bergen county NJ and people are always trying to one up each other also.

I just think that’s America. Hell the 80s were the decade of excess

I’m down in San Juan. The rich kids down here crack me up. I heard a young teen girl excuse herself from line at a pizza place because her mom wasn’t there and she doesn’t know how to order by herself. I cried a little bit on the inside. She’ll probably be in charge of national education in 30 years.

They can but it definitely helps the rich kids who don't need to work.

Do you disagree that free tuition should be reserved for those who really need it? Such as low income families?

Like your post about dogs, I’m not sure you’re really putting yourself in the shoes of the rich. Rich kids won’t be going to community college. They’ll be going to the same schools they already do because they can already afford it and the level of education will be much higher.


Same reason that private high schools exist even though schooling through grade 12 is free to the public.

The employers won't know. So they cant as easily low ball @TeTe. I think that's the ideal, so being able to ask for pay scale should give a better idea of what they pay other people in the position.

I still don't understand this. Maybe it's cause I haven't had to do very many interviews in my life, but that was seriously a question? "How much money did you make at X company" just seems like a bad question that a bad, unqualified interviewer would ask. Has anyone ever had this question come up personally?

Yea many time lots of times they put it on applications. Making that against the law is a good thing in my opinion for employee pay.

I lived in Irvine California, it is a upper class neighborhood. Kids and parents are smart enough to realize the financial benefits of community College. Heck they bribe their kids by getting them nicer cars from the money they save.

Pretty anecdotal. So why are private schools popular amongst the wealthy? Certainly they wouldn’t be sending their kids to for-profit schools if they knew there was a free public option. Right?

 

[shockaholic12]

Only full time Community College being free would just make it harder for lower income students that need to work. Not only to go to school but to support themselves or help support families.

True. Community colleges are usually pretty lenient with taking some classes online and offering gen ed classes at all hours so hopefully working folks can still make it work.

I worked full time while at private school and trained for a few MMA bouts at the same time but I was a bachelor and not supporting a family.

I like the idiots in Newport driving leased Maserratis, Ferraris and Lambos.

Simple bragging rights. Rich kids and their parents want to be able to brag they got accepted to and are going away to Stanford next fall, not down the road to the community college any kid could get into.

It’s dumb, they’ll probably take classes that are focused on their major but change it in a year. I did a year of community college and saved a lot of dough and transferred already with a 3.9 and all my gen ed credits done.

I don't have any huge issues. The gender system was not broken, and did not need fixing.. That forced weirdness is annoying, but if they want it, wtevr. Sanctuary city stuff is political football crap that doesn't help, in my honest opinion, but SOME decent immigrants (illegal aliens) will get a chance they may have earned.

 

[Cuzcatlan]

I’m still in shock they are protecting illegal Mexican aliens. Their daughters are having 2 kids before age 18..

Been to the dmv lately ? It just gets more crowded and scummy daily.

Some hard working Mexicans here , but let’s be honest there is a breeding problem in that community . Need more birth control and condom education but apparently it’s against their religion.

Hispanic birth rates are dropping fast.

Well that, and you’ll very likely get a better education at Stanford than you will Palo Alto Community College. Likely make better, more influential connections too.

People in school districts like Irvine dont send their children to private school. That's why they buy homes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to a million dollars and pay high property tax. The Irvine school district is iirc top 3 in California. University high is one of the best high schools in the state public or private.

If they do send their children to private schools they are not the norm.

So you think all of America’s wealthy live in Irvine? I appreciate your example but it’s heavily anecdotal. And I highly doubt there aren’t private schools in Irvine, but I’ll look it up.

If u go to UC Berkeley (public school) you would get the same ammount of clout ad Stanford.

Berkeley isn’t free though. We’re comparing free to costly, not costly to costly.

You realize there’s a difference between public high school and public universities, right?

One is free.

Never said everyone lives in Irvine.
That being said, I see no reason why a family making six to seven figures should be allowed to send their kids to cc for free.

Do you a problem with them going to public high school for free, which you claim is rampant in Irvine?

All state schools are not free. Also you compared a cc to a 4 year school, a more accurate comparison would be to compare a private 4 year school to a public 4 year school. You also chose Stanford, a great private school, Berkley is its public school counterpart.
