A Second Division I in Social Science

Although I have already passed my Division I exam in Social Science I would now like to take the unusual step of submitting this site as a second Division I exam in the same school.

The Basis Of Any Division One Is A Question

I have asked the question, “Does the educational experiment named Hampshire College work?”   Then using every metric that I can use to measure it, the quality of the education, the value of the education to its students, the value of the education as measured by other institutions, and even the value of the education as measured by College itself, and in all cases Hampshire has failed.

Warning People About Hampshire

I have been asked why I have spent the time and money to build this site and the shortest answer is, knowing what I know it would have been irresponsible for me not to have.  Hampshire College is a pit and I needed to place some warning sign to prevent other young people from falling into it.

Continuing To Be The Person I Am

It occurs to me that the Hampshire College admissions process did everything it could to screen me as a Type A personality, and then did whatever they could to get in my way.  Ironically, as Hampshire identified before they accepted me, it is my specialty to eliminate problems as they get in my way.   It then seems particularly bad judgment from the perspective of Hampshire College to have clearly and repeatedly identified itself as a problem.

Hampshire Destroying Itself

It is now my long term goal to close Hampshire college.  With this goal in mind I would try to alienate past and current students from the administration of the school, although from their practices it is clear that they are doing a pretty good job of destroying the place themselves.

It Is Time To Close this Failed Educational Experiment

There is no reason why any educational institution should go on forever.  In the more than twenty years that I have had dealings with Hampshire College they have demonstrated that their educational model is flawed, and that the only interest they have is for themselves.  It is time that Hampshire College now close as it has proven itself to be a failed educational experiment.
