If you wonder why America has fallen behind the rest of the world, just take a look at this sight. The younger generation has no respect or dignity for anyone else. They spend countless hours on the internet looking for ways to cause hardship to others. This is the true reason schools and colleges are failing, the youth of this country don't want to work hard, they want everything given to them. We're seeing enrollments at their lowest and attrition at it's highest level in history at even the major universities throughout this country. The young generation in this country today simply don't give a damn about anything anymore.

Agreed. OP, you may want to look up the definition of a fallacy, because your argument is riddled with them. Also, generalizing by saying "the younger generation" doesn't want to work hard isn't very clear. What generation? What age group are you referring to? If you mean Millenials, what about the generation of adults that raised these individuals to believe that they were all special unique snowflakes who can be anything they want and get a trophy just for participation? That idea didn't come out of thin air. Generations are only products of the history that begets them. I agree that there is a sickening sense of entitlement that permeates a large group of young Americans, but please don't insult us by pointing the finger at those who were RAISED and coddled to be complacent and plagued by apathy.
Toner!
Blah blah blah blah blah blah pointless points!
47% pay no taxes and 1/3 are on government assistance. Just give me my obama phone, food stamps and welfare. what i go to collage fo?
The insane cost of college also may be a factor. Please get over the "when I was in college" speech.
Totally flawed statement if you are trying to make some major pony about CCI schools. Clearly you aren't an employee. As an instructor at a CCI school (and other schools I've taught) - recent years have shown at least 50% of my student population are returning students. I don't see nearly the number of 18-20 year olds I did when I started teaching 20 years ago.
This kind of sad logic and sweeping statements are so irritating. This school is failing. In general, more Americans have earned advanced degrees than ever before. We also have more international students at our colleges and universities.
