    Accrediation should also include proof that their graduates find gainful employment in the areas in which were taught .Example, I wonder what the percentage of beauty school, motorcycle repair school students etc,find work  in their fields?

     Why should the government control private trade schools.  Can't we make our own decisions on who we want to pay for our education?

     I personally think the bill is a good idea. These schools are springing up like mushrooms in this economy and many students are going deeply into debt thinking these schools will lead them to a job, but do little except take their money and/or sell them products. Just how many more motorcycle mechanics or beauticians do we need?  The good thing about them is they do fil up quite a few empty pole buildings or vacant shopping mall areas.

     Another example of the government making choices for us because they are smarter than we are and we can't make choices for ourselves.  We have to be able to make our own mistakes, this is what freedom is all about!  It's a shame that this is simply accepted as good law.

     Wow, it sure is a good thing we have people like you to determine whether a school is good or not.  We sure don't want any kind of business popping up in Michigan!  And, Lord knows somebody should control the number of motorcycle mechanics and beauticians, it may as well be the government.  Listen to yourself!  Do you understand what a free market is?
