Sometimes I wonder if their teachers could complete it...
Yes Rolando their teachers can complete the FAFSA. Most of them did so to use grants and loans to assist them as they pursued their degrees.
After obtaining employment those same teachers face repeated attacks from many segments of society that seem to forget that at one time kids arrived at school with a much higher degree of support at home. So rather than accept the fact that lower standards do not work, it is easier to blame the teachers.
Get a grip Rolando. I routinely see young people that have no motivation to try. I also see kids that do not speak English put forth an effort that many American kids would not consider for a moment. I guess that is my fault too. I am willing to bet that many of the very same people that cannot comprehend the questions are in fact high school graduates.
Is it the fault of the teachers that gave their best efforts? Is it the fault of the administrators that are under such enormous pressure that they find unique and creative ways to lower the standards and give the illusion of improvement? Is it the the fault of a society that seems to expect more output from less input? Is it the fault of the individuals that choose to shun education because learning and achieving can be a challenge? No, it cannot possibly be the latter choice, that would indicate a degree of responsibility and we simply do not expect anyone to do that anymore, especially when the government is more than capable of being responsible for us!
