Poem: "The Professor's Keychain"
May. 23rd, 2020 02:01 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
ysabetwordsmithThis poem came out of the May 5, 2020 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired and sponsored by Shirley Barrette. It also fills the "Strife" square in my 5-1-20 card for the Sumerian Me Bingo fest. This poem belongs to the Shiv thread of the Polychrome Heroics series. It is the sixth in the set, after "The Truest Writers," "Those Who See Language," "A Linguistic Process," "A Living Element," and "Based on the Mistake."
"The Professor's Keychain"
[Monday, May 2, 2016]
Burr walked into the Admissions Office
of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
wondering what had Aldrich Deffenbaugh
so wound up on such a beautiful day.
"What the hell am I supposed
to do with these rejects you
fobbed off on me?" Aldrich said.
"What rejects?" Burr countered.
"Every student I've sent you has
met the requirements both in
points and in class grades."
"Yes, but their grades here are
marginal, and their graduation rate
is too. Hell, we still have several from
the first batch in 2011!" said Aldrich.
"I can't afford this, Burr. I haven't even
recovered from the admissions scandal
after we switched entrance exams
and let in a bunch of losers."
"All right, what's bothering you?"
Burr said. "Give me an example."
Aldrich had one at his fingertips.
"This kid, DeAndre Diez," he said.
"He started out in Ethnic Studies,
switched to Interdisciplinary Studies
where he took some of the classes
for Achievement-Centered Education,
then added a Theatre minor. He
hasn't completed any of those."
"Some people just take time
to figure out what they want
to do in life," Burr pointed out.
"For six years?" Aldrich said.
"I don't need this kind of strife --
this is getting ridiculous, Burr."
"Not really," said Burr. "DeAndre
needs structure in his life, and
college provides that for him.
It's better than the alternatives."
"What do you want me to do,
just keep him here indefinitely?"
Aldrich said, raising his eyebrows.
"If that's what it takes," Burr said.
"You can't be -- my God, you are
serious," Aldrich said, appalled. "There's
no way to justify that! The taxpayers can't
afford it, especially now it's a free ride."
"As long as it keeps DeAndre from
returning to prison, the taxpayers are
saving at least $3,000 a year on a full ride,
or $20,500 if they only cover the tuition --
not counting any extra damages from
the crimes caused by recidivism,"
said Burr. "You do the math."
"That won't stop the Board from
chewing my ears off, even if you have
cut recidivism in half," Aldrich said.
"All right, let's try social geometry,"
Burr said, taking out his keychain,
a model of the Tesla fluid valve.
He popped it in half. "This is society.
People can move away from it or
toward it, with the flow or against it."
Then he pointed to the loop of a curve.
"This bight right here is my program."
Aldrich frowned. "What do you mean?"
"The whole point of prison education
is to catch people who are moving away
from society and change their path so
they move back toward it," said Burr. "You
can help, or you can get out of my way."
Aldrich stared at the little gizmo,
one finger subconsciously echoing
its path on the surface of his desk.
"All right, you win," he muttered.

Notes:
Aldrich Deffenbaugh -- He has tawny-fair skin, dark blue eyes, and short dark hair starting to go gray. He is tall with a triangular face. He is 52 in 2015. Aldrich is married with two children and four grandchildren. Aldrich earned a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services and Sociology with a double minor in Spanish and Oratory and Public Speaking at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. He went on to get a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration General with a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in School Psychology from the same school. Currently he lives in Lincoln, Nebraska where he serves as an admissions officer for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
In 2010, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln made some changes to its admission tests and standards, based on the advice of the admissions officers led by Aldrich. The goal was to diversify the student body, and it did that, but many poor students of color dropped out or failed out in 2011-2013 while others are still struggling to complete what should have been a 4-year program. The scandal was terrible, and led to a reversal of the changes in 2013. This has made Aldrich defensive and conservative.
Qualities: Good (+2) College Admissions Officer, Good (+2) Communication Skills, Good (+2) Methodical, Good (+2) Responsible, Good (+2) Tall
Poor (-2) Admissions Testing Scandal
Motivation: "People are ugly inside, always wanting to tear each other apart for making a mistake."
Admissions controversies come in various flavors, including admissions tests. Students of color routinely score lower than white students. Is that racism in the form of tests underestimating their abilities due to slanted questions, or is it in the form of poor education that leaves them actually underprepared for college? Local-America routinely admits students unready for college classes, with predictably poor results, and the remedial classes actually make matters worse. These are things that college admissions officers struggle with.

DeAndre Diez -- He has light brown skin, nappy black hair, and brown eyes. His heritage is black and Hispanic. He speaks English, some Spanish, and some Japanese. DeAndre was 19 in 2010 when he spent a year in the Nebraska Penitentiary. A friend had talked him into robbing a store and the owner was severely injured. He was 20 in 2011 when he enrolled in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is 25 in 2016 and still hasn't graduated. DeAndre started out in Ethnic Studies, then switched to Interdisciplinary Studies where he focused on the Achievement-Centered Education requirements. Then he added a Theatre minor, which he hasn't completed either. Curious but unfocused, DeAndre makes an erratic student. He desperately needs structure in life, and clings to college for that reason. He handles different cultures well, though, and enjoys theatre.

The Nebraska State Penitentiary is the site of major components of the Agency's Cornhusker State Industries (CSI) program.
• Security Levels: Maximum, Medium and Minimum Custody.
• Average Population: 1323
• Number of Staff: 465
• Cost per Inmate per Year: $27,834
Estimated Budgets for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Nebraska Resident Total Budget $24,936
In-State Tuition $7,350
Other Fees $1,892
Room and Board $11,430
On-Campus Other Budget $3,248
Books and Supplies $1,016
The total tuition and living expense budget for in-state Nebraska residents to go to Nebraska is $24,936 for the 2018/2019 academic year.
It is about $3,000 cheaper for taxpayers to support a person at college than one in prison -- not counting the additional costs of crime racked up by recidivism -- if covering all expenses. It is $20,500 cheaper for college if covering only tuition, although that would probably exclude most if not all former inmates.
The Tesla fluid valve provides one-way flow with no moving parts. This video contrasts the simple flow path and complex flow path. Here is a more detailed description of how the valve works. Terramagne society functions like a Tesla fluid valve: the farther someone tries to go away from civilization, the more difficult it gets.
See a Tesla fluid valve keychain. These are common in Terramagne.

DeAndre Diez -- He has light brown skin, nappy black hair, and brown eyes. His heritage is black and Hispanic. He speaks English, some Spanish, and some Japanese. DeAndre was 19 in 2010 when he spent a year in the Nebraska Penitentiary. A friend had talked him into robbing a store and the owner was severely injured. He was 20 in 2011 when he enrolled in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is 25 in 2016 and still hasn't graduated. DeAndre started out in Ethnic Studies, then switched to Interdisciplinary Studies where he focused on the Achievement-Centered Education requirements. Then he added a Theatre minor, which he hasn't completed either. Curious but unfocused, DeAndre makes an erratic student. He desperately needs structure in life, and clings to college for that reason. He handles different cultures well, though, and enjoys theatre.

The Nebraska State Penitentiary is the site of major components of the Agency's Cornhusker State Industries (CSI) program.
• Security Levels: Maximum, Medium and Minimum Custody.
• Average Population: 1323
• Number of Staff: 465
• Cost per Inmate per Year: $27,834
Estimated Budgets for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Nebraska Resident Total Budget $24,936
In-State Tuition $7,350
Other Fees $1,892
Room and Board $11,430
On-Campus Other Budget $3,248
Books and Supplies $1,016
The total tuition and living expense budget for in-state Nebraska residents to go to Nebraska is $24,936 for the 2018/2019 academic year.
It is about $3,000 cheaper for taxpayers to support a person at college than one in prison -- not counting the additional costs of crime racked up by recidivism -- if covering all expenses. It is $20,500 cheaper for college if covering only tuition, although that would probably exclude most if not all former inmates.
The Tesla fluid valve provides one-way flow with no moving parts. This video contrasts the simple flow path and complex flow path. Here is a more detailed description of how the valve works. Terramagne society functions like a Tesla fluid valve: the farther someone tries to go away from civilization, the more difficult it gets.
See a Tesla fluid valve keychain. These are common in Terramagne.

Date: 2020-05-23 07:38 pm (UTC)Getting someone to agree is challenging, but T-America has more groundwork for it -- most people have gotten a solid education on how to work through conflicts.
Coaxing damaged people back to society is often as straightforward as removing barriers. That can be hard if people don't want to do it -- the reason behind much criminal behavior is people getting forced out -- but if there's a desire to solve problems, many of them are simple to solve even if the pile is big. You pull out one log at a time and eventually you're done.
Securing college access is easier in T-America than here because they're farther along the process of realigning college, which is an old idea, with what modern society wants. We could very easily solve much of the problem here by making all the online classes freely available to everyone, and simply tracking who takes what for those students who'd like a record. XXX credits gets you an Open Studies degree, XX credits in a single subject area gets you a Certificate of Studies, etc. We need to make at least community and state colleges free with full support, if society wants everyone to attend college; but as the links show, not everyone is suited to college so trying to max out is actually a terrible idea.
Re: Thoughts
Date: 2020-05-24 12:34 am (UTC)You and I both know that education leads to empathy leads to a better society, and that a society's continued existence depends on its members knowing how to give a shit about each other. What we're missing here is the bottom rungs on the ladder - a way to either impart logic to the alogicals, or remove enough of them from polite society to make a difference...

True.

I haven't found a way to do that, short of a Helm of Opposite Alignment.
However, there is another option: almost everyone can be motivated to act in their own interest. If you can identify how what you want will benefit them then it's often possible to make them do it.
>> or remove enough of them from polite society to make a difference... <<
If only.
