 | Financial Aid: Middle Finger to Middle Class - Freauxzen on 5/6/13 at 2:00 pm
So no link, but I'm listening to a discussion from some top education reps (Accrediting Bodies, DC folks, college reps), and someone pops this question:

Use a closed group of people schooled on film to create a rating system built on some key factors. I might use:

I think we’re past nostalgia now. Since most of us are in our 20’s and early 30’s, we lived and grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. But much like our childhoods, that time has passed.
What happened before the 80’s? Bell bottoms. Disco. P...
