I work at a for "profit college" here in Portland, Oregon  our demographics are targeted to low-income students who do not have either their high school diploma or not educated in making a decision for their education.  We target these potential students as we know we can paint a picture that their lives will change if they come to our school.  We dummy down the curriculm so much.  48% of our student population is on the honor role yet they cannot do a thing.   I have so many stories of our students who graduate who cannot even attach their resume to an email to apply for a job!    It sickens me on a daily basis!
