Maybe that will teach that piece of trash some manners. Oh wait, it won't. She thinks it's everybody else in the world who's wrong.

Your hard earned taxes at work- AND Obama wants to expand the Pell Grant program which sends kids like these to college to abuse our already underpaid profs, and ruin the learning environment for the kids whose hard earned dollars and loans they will pay back are funding their education. Hard to appreciate a college education if you have made to sacrifices to attain it. i went to a state school and earned my way through scholarships and working to pay for it-idk how many kids i saw in my first year who said they didn't care if they dropped or failed a class b/c they weren't paying for it-and you get can get up to 6 years of pell funding to finish a four year degree-quite like a lot of these ghetto hooligans took 6 years to finish their high school diploma-and by finish I don't mean earn-just score better than the other 50% of the idiots at your school and they'll slap that piece of paper in your hand and send you on your way, claiming they have fulfilled their obligation to send some kids to college.

that chick should sit her rowdy a$$ down so the rest of her classmates can get and education-she'll be depending on their tax dollars in the future! Newsflash-"da gub'ment don't owe you nut'in!"

Freshmen More Stressed Than Ever

First-year college students report low emotional health

(NEWSER) - College freshmen might not be learning much —but that doesn’t mean they’re not stressed. The levels of emotional health in incoming freshmen hit a record low last year, probably thanks in part to the recession. According to an annual survey, students who rated themselves as having “below average” emotional health rose, while those who said they had “above average” emotional health fell to 52%. In 1985, 64% of students claimed “above average” emotional health, the New York Times reports. Parental unemployment was also at a record high. More»
