English Snow, Thunder, Lightning and top up fees
« on: January 28, 2004, 10:22:22 am »
WOOOOAH! There was a massive flash and i thought someone was taking a picture through my window, and then there was the loudest rumble of thunder- and then it started SNOWING! Its snowed at least 2 inches in only half an hour! ITS AMAZING!! My mum has been in London all day and she says its like the apocalypse. Everything here is orange and weird!!

I know there is a thread on snow but this is TOO special to go on the 5th page of a thread! We never ever ever get snow, my dad said it was "Collectors weather" LMAO. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

and top up fees won, views!? I can't take a gap year now! i was planning on going to America!

EDIT: Piiics!

Me trying not to be hit by a snowball from my brother! (Yes those are my dad's shoes that i'm wearing which make me bear a scary resemblance to Santa)


Me looking doubtful at the 'snowman' me and my brother just attempted, at one point we decided it was going to be a snowbunny, can ya tell? No.


Me and Patrick detroying our 'snowman'


Me and my brother fighting with the remains of the much abused 'snowman'.

We had snow and I got to leave work early because of it :) No orange, but I have seen that before, it is weird.

Soon everyone in this country will have a degree anyway. They're too easy and as a result, they're completely devalued. Even a 3 year old could get a degree in this country. Soon they'll be no point paying for a degree at all. Raising the price (i.e. top-up fees) will only make it worse. The problem is that the government's goal of "Getting more people into uni" isn't a good objective, it can only ever lead to a saturated market. Universities burn money. I say we scrap top-up fees and let some of them shut down, the market will pick up for the ones that stay alive (the most cost efficient ones), then they can afford to make their courses harder which will only increase the value of a degree. The government pays for those who attend, but they can afford it because not everyone with a pulse is going to uni. Genius!

I do also wonder if ministers were voting on the actual policy or (unprofessionally) on Blair himself.

P.S. I was joking about the genius thing, I have no idea if my plan would work (which is why I don't work in government ;-))

*Wearing a bowler hat, pinstriped suit, a newspaper under the arm and carrying a long unopen umbrella* Why yes Andrew, that would be splendid old chap. Although I do apologise for my terribly common tea, I have just recently run out of earl grey and haven't had the time to ask Jeeves to buy any more.

Cheerio

Eek. I wouldn't go that far. Degrees aren't worthless quite yet and certianly masters degrees and Ph.D qualifications are still valuable. Besides, at the high end universities the standards are still relatively good (in other words, the courses are still difficult).
