well i’m not seeing the problem. the reason why schools have no standards (as explained in the article) today is because we expect everyone to go to school. iirc there’s an OECD quota that 50% of young people need to get a college degree. … you know what that means? effectively you’re turning school into an extended kindergarden. … the problem isn’t the students but what we expect of masses of young people. ironically, if we’d demand less schooling, we’d get more of it because the standards could be raised again.
