    He's already almost there except for the Democrat part (pats self on back), but he can continue along that path at 1/4 of the cost...

    I was in college at UIndy only a few years ago and didn't spend anywhere close to $20k when I lived on campus.

    I was a student at UIndy a few years ago and once tuition and books were paid for, yeah, absolutely I could. I did, in fact.

    Perhaps that's part of the problem... people like you think that people can't survive on $20k a year when they 100% can. Its certainly not enjoyable, but its only temporary assuming you didnt get some stupid ass Democrat sponsored degree.

    Its also not enjoyable to go to class during the day and then work third shift overnight, but that's probably why I make more money than most of my peers... because they weren't willing to do what I was.

    Oh well, their loss.

    For many online courses you still have to go to a supervised class room to write mid-term and final exams. Also depending on the course you may need access to school resources. For example if you are taking an online calculus course you may needs access to the math labs to seek help from the TAs or other students. For some courses you would need access to the libraries and journals to do research. Also paying tuition gives you access to many school facilities and programs. There are training rooms, study groups, school clubs and social events that the students would have access too.

    Let me guess, you weren't paying out of country tuition either were you? My ex student paid over $14000 tuition and fees and books last semester. Thank God he graduates in December.

    all true but the law was changed some time ago and it’s based on the number of hours that are online. It’s not a total bar on online classes.

    the bases was because people who otherwise couldn’t get a visa for whatever reason who get a student visa and be taking all their classes at the University of Phoenix or some place like that

    We arent talking about tuition. That is paid regardless if theyre in the US or theyre in their home country.

    That money is then used to indoctrinate my children in an ideology that I oppose.
    Seriously, why should anyone take you seriously. More tin foil logic.

    Are those words supposed to mean something just because you said them?

    Tuition is relevant here. Unless you think universities are magically separated from the rest of the economy.

    Why? This law isn't new. Students haven't been permitted student visas for all on-line courses for years.

    Do EU countries give out student visas for people taking 100 percent of their courses online?

    - Cut to the essentials.
    - Lay off. Lots of good paying jobs in the private sector for highly educated professors. May even do them good to get their 'hands dirty'.

    How would you like it if your kid came home one day and said there were only two sexes or that only women could have babies? How would you like it if your kid came home from school and said George Washington was great man or that America was a great nation?

    Just because you believe that gender is fluid, marriage is evil, America is evil and the founding fathers are evil does not give you the right to impose that religious belief on the children of others.

    PS. if you don't believe the tenets I ascribed to you in my previous sentence, you are an evil person yourself by the standard of the leftists posing as teachers and professors in our education system. There is no middle ground, they do not allow it and cancel any person that deviates an inch from the dogma.

    She's correct, so put me in the same category.

    And just what our children learn in our learning institutions? They learn to hold America in contempt; to prefer socialism to capitalism; to regard all white people and police as racist; to believe the Bible, Christianity, and Judaism are not only nonsense but dangerous nonsense; to no longer believe that men and women are inherently different — or even that male and female objectively exist; they're not uninterested in getting married and have children; they believe the president of the United States is a fascist as are all those who voted for him. Our schools teach our kids to support the suppression of speech that he or she regards as “hate speech". I can go on and on. And on.

    Now, when kids come back from skrul, not only they hold everything their Conservative or Moderate parents cherish in contempt, now they hold their parents in contempt, too. They're less kind, less happy and more angry.

    It's a ****ing nightmare I'm telling you :buggered:

    If you send your kid to today's learning institution, you' no say in what they will become. It's out of your hands.

    A person who says there is no middle ground is the last I would take advice from. Your hatred has blinded you.
