Reading Response #4

               In the education gospel, the author talks about her experience as a college admissions officer at two different for-profit colleges. She tells about an intriguing story she had with one candidate who simply couldn’t afford to pay for his schooling. The fact that these colleges are set up economically for those who attend to fail is disheartening to say the least. The author specifically mentions the fact that people who attend these universities aspire that simply out-step their social mobilities. To take these sanguine people and further their economic burden with a false education is a disturbing concept. The for-profit colleges rely on inequalities in the education system to filter the bottom portion of the education system is simply cruel and wrong. While many of these students may have already been failed by the public education system, the alternative to another public education system fails them far worse. The issue entails the fact that this education system is no longer focused primarily on the betterment of people but rather an economic business that tricks those who are under false pretenses about the outcome. This concept can be related back to writing as it shows the power of good education at a young age. This usually means those that will do well in the long run are the people who were fortunate enough start of in a stable economic place to begin with.
