A Future in Coding

While stationed in Okinawa, Japan in 2008, I wouldn’t have guessed that my time in the Marine Corps would have prepared me for a future in coding. At the time, the 30 Marines in my platoon had access to just one shared computer. It served only two functions: completing online training requirements, or looking up […]

A Fresh Start

I always talked about joining the Air National Guard in high school, but education was so engrained in me growing up that I didn’t think twice about college when the time came. I packed up, headed for the University of Illinois at Springfield and quickly learned that it was going to be very difficult to […]

Betraying Veterans

Whenever Donald Trump fires a member of his administration, the least likely reason is incompetence, corruption, abuse of authority or wasteful extravagance. If those were causes for dismissal in the Trump administration, nearly his entire cabinet would have been replaced by now. That tweet signaling the removal of Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin — an […]

A No-Brainer

This week I read a rather heartbreaking article in the Guardian entitled “They called my university a Ph.D. factory – now I understand why.” (The author is, I believe, a woman with a doctorate in literature, but since she goes by “Anonymous Academic,” this is not certain.) “When I was considering whether to study for […]

For-Profits: The Real Threat

If you talk to most current and former employees of the for-profit education sector, there’s a strong likelihood they’ll tell the same story: for-profit education was a successful industry in the U.S. until Obama came along. Under the former administration, regulators made it their personal mission not just to police the industry, but to take […]

College 101: Online Learning

We live our entire lives online these days: Americans spend an average of 24 hours a week online. So, why shouldn’t we learn online, too? There’s no reason at all why we shouldn’t, actually, because learning online, and even earning degrees via the web, is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in 2018. That’s not to […]

Report on For-Profits

Today, American college graduates collectively owe a staggering $1.3 trillion in student debt — the second highest debt category in the country, following mortgage debt and outpacing automobile loans and credit card debt. Over a tenth of graduates ultimately default on their loans. And, according to a recent report from Brookings Institution, for-profit colleges — a controversial sector of the higher […]

Working with Schools

Air Mobility Command is hard at work looking to expand partnerships with area schools near and surrounding military installations. Ensuring a strong science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics curriculum, known as STEAM, benefits school districts and the Air Force alike. However, not necessarily for the reasons one may think. For the Air Force, this need […]

Saluting School Choice

Americans who join the military know they’ll be making sacrifices. They put their lives on the line, obviously, but beyond that, they know they’ll have no say in where they live. Indeed, frequent moves are often part of the package. The service-member in question may understand and accept this, but what about the sacrifices of […]

Optics at V.A.

The VA OIG is apparently investigating Secretary David Shulkin’s misuse of his staff by asking one to help him shop at Home Depot and Donald Trump is pissed. The optics are bad, and I am sure he is pissed about compromising to keep Shulkin instead of going with a pick of his own to lead […]

Defrauding Students

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Katherine Clark just released the DeVos Watch, summarizing the secretary of education’s first year in office as riddled with conflicts of interest and questionable ethics. Massachusetts’ members of Congress aren’t the only ones keeping a close eye on Betsy DeVos. Those of us who work with low-income students have witnessed with […]

Education Options

Unfortunately, the growing divide between the military and society was apparent last week when a teacher’s inaccurate and misinformed statements about the quality of America’s armed forces made national headlines. As a U.S. Army officer for more than 30 years, I can tell you our nation’s military services are among the most respected organizations in […]
