Good Grief, why expect a change in Berkeley at this point????
30+ years ago I lived near Berkeley and for lack of entertainment would take the kids down town and sit outside with a picknick lunch and watch the going on's.
Pure theater, interesting students, interesting causes, made me just a bit jealous that they all seemed to be living a fun life, all that freedom to do some outrageous things.
Here I was just a bit older then the kids and my life involved changing diapers and the ever present life style of a homemaker and mother.
Shocking, quite shocking to me at the time. I may have well lived on a different Planet from them,
not much has really changed since then.
Even living in a small town the University of New Hampshire now has to grapple with not so much the students but the Tenured professors that get into big trouble for everything from sexual expouser cases to child abuse charges. No matter how hard the school administration tries to fire the Professors, the Teachers Union steps in and makes it almost impossible to do so.
When we put our children's brains into the hands of higher education, we take a risk, best to send them to a 2 year trade school with one years work under their belt or the military then they can handle the college education much better then a "Fresh Fish" of 17-18 away from home for the first time.
