Now if only you'd stopped dropping me off the Internet every five minutes during the weekend I'd probably recommend your service, if you provided a decent, non-laggy DNS server I'd even praise you from time to time.
The problem with education in America is the parents. Low quality parents beget low quality children. If the parent doesn't value education and a quality career there will be no financial support, for the child or the schools. If the parent doesn't value their children they will not invest time in their children. With out which the school becomes the parent but, one with both hands tied behind their back.
One very important lesson that children are not being taught is that they must be their own advocate. It is not doing them any benefit to allow them to rely upon others to ensure things are being taken care of in their best interest. Should the school guidance councilor/academic adviser have been paying attention and told him he was missing graduation requirements? Yes. Should the kid have been paying attention to that himself? Yes.
If they are controlling for age and colleges are principally made up of students, and those students aren't senior citizens then it isn't a reach to conclude that the universities are providing an indirect influence that raises the bar. Maybe some students are sticking around, maybe the university is pulling in "intelligence required" companies to the area, maybe college students are engaging non-students in the coffee houses, etc..
While there are some interesting locations--like Anchorage--the results appear to track reasonably well with the old standby metrics that tend to make urban California and the south look bad, education, money and obesity.
There's no easy answer to what is "typical" because so many variables exist, especially with custom software. A common model for non-custom work is an annual maintenance/assurance contract. Client's buy the software, and get one year maintenance. After that they pay {x} amount each year to renew that contract. During the life of the contract the client is eligible for support and product updates.
Why would I rent a single title for $4 when I have Netflix? I hand them a fair amount every month. They give me all I can consume. If content providers don't want to play with Netflix, then they lose out on my money. It's that simple.
It was my understanding that the actual talent that made the content possible were a minuscule portion of the money surrounding a production. For instance I've heard quotes such as less than $0.10 of every dollar made goes to a recording artist. If that's true then I don't really believe that's the problem. The problem is all the greedy little middle men with wayward ideas about how to monetize content.
I have a hunch that she has an empathy for children which is what drove her to pursue the education thing. While it might be more practical to choose a different career, it is unlikely that she would ever be happy with anything less than engaging young minds.
Has she considered private schools, or even private tutoring (think Silvan or Math Addvantage)? The environment for both is radically different from that of a public school. In both cases the students involved are more likely to be "reachable" and education the actual goal.
Quite right, it would be sneaking into their father's porn collection when nobody's looking. Which of course is the next stop after looking up genitals. Just as on Wikipedia kids will seek out the childhood taboos of genitals, peeing, etc. after which, armed with new search terms will discover other angles on human sexuality and how much more useful Google is to pursue that.
My point is, that this is not a new development with the advent of Internet. Open parental engagement, not content filters is what is required if children are to develop a healthy perspective and treatment of the subject. Would it be helpful if people didn't flaunt it in front of children too young to understand? Perhaps. But, parents are also too quick to use this as a wall to hide behind for the sake of their own comfort. They'd rather hide the subject and not deal with it because the idea of discussing human sexuality with their children makes them uncomfortable. Most kids are quite capable of grasping at an elementary school age what the parts are, where they go, and why people put them there. Parents aren't owning up to the reality that their children, no matter how tightly they think they are blocking their exposure will eventually be exposed and at a far earlier age than most would consider possible. Regardless of what they do their children will be exposed to and pursue the subject. Either the parents can guide them through the subject and instill the values they want them to have or they can let them draw their own conclusions from exploring the perversions manifest and offered up by a minority of diseased minds.
This is simply an evolution of children looking up "genitals" in the encyclopedia on the shelf. The solution isn't to ban/filter content, the solution is for parents to be proactive and have frank, honest and ongoing conversation with their children about human sexuality. Just because you rip the page out of your encyclopedia at home doesn't mean they won't go look it up on their next visit to the public library. Hiding, prohibiting, and generally making it a taboo subject, especially for children whom are naturally curious will only motivate them to chase after it. When they do, it won't be the parents that are in control of the lessons learned.
Sending them a bill is irrelevant when the patient doesn't pay. The unpaid expenses accrued by the hospital trickle down to everyone else receiving care.
As for the root cause of the problem, you can blame it on greed and this.

Thank you. I feel better now that I know I can turn back from these feelings of appreciation bubbling up.

That's OK because I drink lots of coffee to combat lack of sleep.
So that's what our future looks like...

Why did anyone bother to post this? There's nothing new referenced, just a bunch of old, now stale ./ stories.

I think the bigots already are down there. They just got confused on which direction was north.
Come from one of those locations that didn't do so well I take it?

That's why there's Netflix streaming for the kid, and a bottle of scotch for me.
