Just how much should a good
education cost? (and how much is it
worth when I'm done!?)
"A definitive review of the
literature (Astin, 1997) finds absolutely no relationship between a
college's cost and the amount of learning that accrues."
(Dr. Marty Nemko* -
'Why Your Kids Shouldn't Go to Harvard - even if they could get
in')
Our culture heavily
promotes the fallacy that 'an academic education is the key to
success'. This just isn't so. Without a foundation of solid
character, moral perspective, critical thinking, and relational
common sense -- all we're seeing is a generation of impatient,
self-focused, self-indulgent, whiney, intolerant brats
(sound like a familiar group?).
"...growth occurs primarily
one-on-one, not in large lecture classes... we need to do more to
encourage peer mentoring and faculty/student mentoring."
(Dr. Marty Nemko* - 'America's
Most Overrated Product: Undergraduate Education')
Students who grew up with a lack (or
complete absence) of one-on-one mentoring are
typically ill-equipped to adapt to the ever-changing
environments of society and the job market. Even those who
had this kind of instruction growing up are not likely to find more
of it in our constantly degrading 'educational' system.
So, just how much is a
practical, life-skills-based education worth?Reality College emphasizes a full-life approach to
individually preparing each student for a lifetime
of satisfying and productive Kingdom work regardless of their
chosen vocation -- and at a fraction of
the cost of a typical college education.
Any investment made in our
program is monitored, measured and evaluated by the students
themselves - and completely covered by our
results-oriented, money-back guarantee.
We are so confident of the results that students will achieve
that we will refund their tuition for any
trimester they are not satisfied with -
period. How many of today's institutions
of 'Higher Learning' offer that kind of quality
assurance?
"In the last 35
years alone, we have bet $3 Trillion in tax dollars that we can
improve the schools. Unfortunately, we've lost the bet. According to
our educational assessment's 'Gold Standard' -- the National
Assessment of Educational Progress -- student achievement has
barely budged since NAEP began measuring the impacts of the school
reform movement in 1969! In international comparisons, American
students score near the bottom among industrialized nations. Even
our top students are now sinking compared with other countries' best
students."
