upset at navytimes atricle on online degrees

[originalbigjim]

The article is not lying, everything they say is probably true but they dont have to tell them that they are destined for failure. You dont tell the infantrymen that out of everyone in the army he is the most likely to be killed, you give him the path for success but also prepare him for failure, not just doom him. I think the biggest failure of this article is that they failed to mention clep and dantes exams. Calling something the guide to online degrees and neglecting the biggest and most important resource that we all have as adult student is ridiculous. Most people do not know about these exams but isnt it the responsibility of the militarytimes to alert the service members to what is available to them? This article failed me both as a online student and as a united states service member. I personally will take action to ensure that more people are aware of these programs.
