Yet Another Captain Renault Moment

I'm shocked-- shocked!-- to discover that for-profit colleges are using underhanded tactics to hook students and saddle them with tons of debt, whether they deliver on their educational promises or not (I imagine more often not). When the whole appeal of such an institution is that you can take classes in your pajamas (as in a current ad campaign), it's pretty clear that anything akin to high academic standards are pretty low on their list of priorities. But then this is the natural outcome of a philosophy that says that markets are the only thing that counts.

I know what you mean. I have never seen the public schools pull such a tactic. *sarc

Oh effin please.

Hell the public high schools just push the kids through whether they are ready or not.

Laughable. Have a great day moron.
