I agree with that college is frustrating, although I disagree that the problem lies within lack of facilities or failure to teach proper study techniques or handwriting skills. Rather I think the pervasive problem with contemporary pedagogy is that it has turned, largely, into an enterprising, profiteering business. With that shift, educational institutions switched their focus from graduating good, prepared students to focusing on obtaining large grants for research projects—research projects that bring in far more than a student's tuition.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that one basic that everyone should be taught is grammar. Not to be a jerk here, but you'd be more effective in communicating your point if it wasn't littered with grammatical errors.

I think I might need to buy "Eats, Shoots & Leaves". This is the first essay/blog I have submitted to the world and it is helping me remember my grammar sucks.
