Fail U.: The False Promise of Higher Education by Charles J. Sykes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A devastating indictment of the current travesty called higher education. A very worthwhile read, especially for those parents preparing to shell out megabucks for a bunch of nothing.
So why only a 4 out of 5?
One of his points is a strong argument against grade inflation . . .
Whereas Jonathan Gruber, Barak Obama and Elizabeth Warren are towering monuments to the robust pervasiveness of grade inflation!

between your books and your recommendations you are costing me a pretty penny. But all worth it.
In view of your book Empires of Dirt, you may have some thoughts on Poland recognising Jesus as king: http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/24875-poland-officially-recognizes-jesus-christ-as-king ?
Does the book present solutions? I don’t like our education system at all, especially the price tag for a piece of paper that doesn’t really give folks the upper hand in the marketplace.
