Community College Quotes - Page 2

• I think that one of the greatest challenges we have today is around education. One of the things that is dividing us more and more is whether you have good prospects or you don't. Do you live a neighborhood where the schools are good? If you don't, your kids may not read until the time they're in third grade. Do you at least have access to a community college that will give you job training skills so that if you don't go for four years you will at least come out with a decent job and a decent wage. Too many people don't have that opportunity.

• La mayoría de los estudiantes que llegan a los colegios comunitarios siguen estancados en el nivel de bachillerato o en las matemáticas de recuperación. Y cuando las cursan en la universidad, siguen sin aprobarlas. Así que la Fundación Carnegie se reunió y creó dos cursos acelerados que se centran en las aplicaciones de los números en el mundo real, como la salud, la educación cívica o las finanzas personales, conceptos que tú y yo utilizamos todos los días.

• I was teaching live drawing in a community college and students started zoning in on the face and spending a couple of hours on that and then putting the rest of the body on the face only in the last hour. It didn't work to just tell them, 'Well, you're really not thinking of the body as a totality.' So in desperation I would put a drape over the model's head so they couldn't see it. They had to draw the body and then at the end of the session for an hour I would take the drape off just to try to reverse their procedure.

• You know, you just know, that after the president goes out there and announces he wants to make community college free for all Americans - as though anything government does is 'free' - or is unilaterally and unconstitutionally legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, he comes back to the offices, pulls out the presidential BlackBerry, and gleefully follows along as the Right goes completely ape over these wild policy decisions.

• In any community there's a strong pull home. People want to return, see their community get better economically and socially. You can build those community-grown opportunities for the kids who've graduated from college to return home, to provide businesses and support things going on. It'll only happen through education.

• I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies. That was what I intended on doing, but I didn't go away to a university because I wanted to stay in L.A. and audition while I took classes, so I elected to go to a community college and just take G.E. courses. It was terrible.

• Odiaba dejar un hueco en el mundo de los fumadores, así que recluté a alguien para que ocupara mi lugar.

• Asegurémonos también de que el bachillerato encamina a nuestros hijos hacia un buen trabajo. En la actualidad, países como Alemania se centran en que sus estudiantes de secundaria obtengan el equivalente a un título técnico de uno de nuestros colegios comunitarios, para que estén preparados para un trabajo. En escuelas como P-TECh de Brooklyn... los estudiantes se gradúan con un diploma de secundaria y un título asociado en informática o ingeniería. Tenemos que dar a todos los estudiantes estadounidenses oportunidades como ésta.
