18. the screening thing bothers me a bit
My oldest son is at UW milwaukee and wants to be a cop. Senior year, grads in dec then onto police academy for further training.
So lets say he passes all that(excellent grades so far) and then he does not pass some bull shit screening--does he get his money for 4 plus years back????
Screening can be bull shit (excuse me I DO have a degree in psychology with a backround in testing)

If you are out to administer some pass fail can't study for screening-shouldn't it be done early in an academic carrer so that if there is an artificial wall that can not be climbed the person can choose to major in something else.

do not know if a screening would have uncovered this "tendency"
Prior to the event he apparently seemed as normal as can be

Hell look at that astronaut lady-the one with the diaper.
to get that far at nasa i would assume she passed a screening or two.
