Stuff that doesn't make sense
National student database.
Under the current system, transfer students can skew statistics regarding graduation and retention. Now, if a student transfers schools, he is recorded as a dropout in his former school, but a graduate in the other. The proposed system would allow the federal government to recognize him as the same person.
Seems like keeping track of how many people transferred from one school to another would accomplish the same goal without keeping a federal database of students. But hey, what do I know.
