Student Financial aid
Abolishing student loans will reduce college costs!!
College including two-year community college has become expensive
because state legislators from the Democratic party believe
that students can borrow an unlimited amount of money from
the federal government to attend college so college enrollment
is no longer subsidized by states.
My opinion is that if the federal government were to suddenly abolish
student loans that the teachers union would panic and require the state
legislatures to fully reinstate state subsidies at least for in state
students so college will then become as cheap as what your grandparents
paid for it only one year after student loans are ABOLISHED!!
PROBLEM WITH JURY DUTY..
When I had second semester physics in Fall of 2010
our teacher announced that she was being summoned to
mandatory jury duty right after the end of the semester.
Later I found out that she had covered only 66% of
the course material on the syllabus.
She did not cover the last third of the semester because she had
to simplify the final exam so she could grade it quickly so she could
show up for jury duty right after the end of the semester.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Changing to an all volunteer jury system for EVERY COURT will
help education.
people will choose whether and when to serve on a jury after a
all volunteer jury system is implemented by the legislature or
ballot proposition.
Volunteers will choose a starting month and a courthouse that they
can get to.
During that starting month that volunteer will be randomly chosen
for a trial at that courthouse.
All jurors including teachers will be able to choose a starting
month after full sized final exams have been graded so there will
be no more classes cut short by teacher jury duty and students will no
longer have to drop out of school and repay Pell grants to serve on
a jury.

Pell grants need fixing
Beginning in Spring 2014 semester all students who fail
a majority of their classes will be required to REPAY their Pell grants
because of a MISTAKE in the Pell grant law.
The Pell grant law needs to be changed so that the clause that requires
students to repay their Pell grants AFTER they fail a majority of their
classes is replaced with the clause:
BEFORE any student applies for or receives any Pell grant a High School
Exit Exam including an algebra TEST must be completed to show that that
student is already prepared to succeed in college!!
