Won’t the government do something about CAP?
Filed under: customer service, feedback & reviews, leadership, Uncategorized
I really don’t know how stupid CAP is… or was it us who were stupid enough to believe them before? Of course which parent does not their children to be assured of going to college? Even the high rising cost of education and most commodities, by getting an college assurance plan, I can have confidence that my son won’t have any problem as far as his college tuition fee is concern. That is what is written in the contract – A BINDING CONTRACT!
Now that my son is already in college – prelims, mid-terms and two promissory notes later, still I didn’t get anything from this future-grabbing monster! And now, finals will be here anytime soon, yet not a flicker of hope shining that I would get anything. In fact, when I called, I was even told that processing of claims will take years!
And where is the government through all of these? All those programs – inviting tourist investors (to take advantage of local resources), employment opportunities (thanks to this opportunist investors), and double-funding of projects, they remained silent and distant from this CAP brouhaha…
If it were election time, maybe something would happen. But then again, it’s not.
CAP stole my son’s future, while politicians are destroying his present.
