  • Why is college bushed in the disabled world?

    From SETH HURST@1:123/140 to ALL on Thu Jun 20 06:37:50 2019
    So I'm wondering why college is pushed so heavly in the blind or
    disabled world if they know it will lead to debt? And why is it that at
    least in my case most of the ones who are in school look down on those
    who are not in the education system like them?

    Surely your remarks are about a US-only environment ...

    College here (Belgium) does not automatically lead to debt, disabled or not.

    College is a good idea for many people whetherr they're blind, disabled
    or not. But it isn't for everybody.

    And why is it that at
    least in my case most of the ones who are in school look down on

    Most likely because they think they're better than those who aren't in
    the system. It's just snobbery.
