As we get higher food prices, gas prices, mortgage problems...basically a problem that is affecting just about everybody... I'm beginning to see the news get such detailed (and incomplete) that it just sounds like noise. Especially when they bring forward a personal situation that makes me think "so what?".
Rising Gas Prices Prompt Change Within College (http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-15283)
It's an iReport, so I really can't call it bad reporting, because I see iReports as an amateur vehicle of other views. So I give it some leeway.
Good that they are addressing some of the issues. But; in this case, I would think there are some more serious concerns.
It's causing students to bus or bike to school...Good
It's causing educators to make some other options or allowances to allow flexible travel.... Good (as long as the education value is still there)
Now; it would be interesting to know how grades are suffering, or what the dropout rate might be because they can't make it to class.
Interviewing a student who is studying in his car, and he's no longer keeping it running for the air conditioning, just demeans the article in my opinion.
