“You can look at the initiatives over the past five years, and you can look at the awareness campaign, and you can look at the data that has actually shown we are getting worse in our Go-On rate.  Is that working? Well, obviously not.”-Jamie MacMillan, Albertson Foundation

The Albertson Foundation has been throwing tens of millions of dollars at the Idaho education system year after year, funding campaigns like Don’t Fail Idaho! and Go On!   Now the results are in and it’s all a big fail!

In 2009 Idaho ranked 43rd in the United States for high school graduates going on to college, in 2013 Idaho fell to last place.

This spring Albertson Foundation conducted a survey of high school students and found that most students did not want a college degree or could not afford to go to college (apparently the folks at Albertson Foundation were shocked at how many high school students said they could not afford college).

High school students also stated that the higher education campaign ads gave them two options: Flip burgers or get in massive debt going to college!

Maybe high school grads aren’t so dumb after all, and it’s the Albertson Foundation that needs to go back to school?

Albertson Foundation is still determined to throw more money at their failed attempts to save education, but they say they’ll focus on other forms of post high school education, like vocational training.   Albertson Foundation will also use social media to spread their new propaganda.
