Yeah, so the 'government' says what can and cannont be taught there. All
the more reason for privately run schools.

As long as you can afford the tuition.

Same here, depending on the school in which you enroll. Some instituions
are well known for their higher learning agenda and the tuition is well
worth it. As always, you pay for what you get. If the uros get a lessor
education because of the lower tuition, so much for their 'higher'
education systems.

I wasn't aware that England and Ireland were continents. So much for my
'American' education. :o)

Which is more Doosche bullshit.

Accreditation in the USA is a self-regulatory and voluntary process that
ensures basic levels of educational quality and fosters continuous
improvement of US educational institutions and programs.

The process of accreditation is a 5-step process, covering a period of 5
to 10 years, which is meant to measure the progress of the applying
institution (candidate for accreditation ) in achieving its stated goals.
But accreditation is a seal of approval, quality is not guaranteed.

Of course, accreditation is subject to review and cancellation at any
time. There are two types of accreditation:

Institutional - granted by regional and national accrediting commissions
of schools and colleges

Specialized - for professional and occupational schools and programs
granted by national professional organizations.

Accrediting groups are non-governmental organizations that function on a
voluntary basis.
