If there is a standard for getting to "walk," then we shoudl apply it sensibly and reasonably; the standard should have thoughtful and conceptually consistent bases. Your note about "cut and dried" analysis is on the $$. Too many news stories are shallow, predicated almost exclusively on human interest wins and losses. It's good to have thoughtful, deeper reflections such as yours. Cheers (as they seem to say if they are from down under).

It isn't as cut-and-dried as people would believe by reading the media accounts. In that students case, it is not a matter of IF she should walk, but WHEN. What sort of provisions do schools make for post-graduate work study? Not many, unfortunately. dick I actually did catch that Hanover Park story and did extend and expand on that case at my own blog.
