  1. Sounds to me that you are advocating “Ethical Socialism” based on the German model of educational training, skilled labor, and small business operations. In Germany, only 20% of youngsters go to university for a degree while the other 80% are given vocational training in theory, hands on aptitude, and small business operations. In other words, the 80% of German youth are trained to think and act independently as a craftsman.

  2. I’ve worked as a technical instructor for a technical community college in the New England states and I can also relate to what you mentioned. International students from China are either exceptional, or mediocre students who are trying to get by, or they’re from wealthy families and just here to party. Typically, the smarter, more motivated ones go on to state/private colleges for degrees in medicine or engineering. Those in community college are just trying to pass so they can transfer over state/private college programs or are there to not really learn anything but to waste time.
