Imagine a university that took a different approach. Imagine a university that announced that they had no quota or criteria for anything except excellence. You have to be above average to get in, and you have to be above average to graduate. No excuses. No one needs to “feel good” about anything. It’s all about hard work and dedication and anyone (student or faculty) who is disruptive about “higher causes” is escorted off campus within 24 hours.

Employers would eagerly hire graduates from such a school. And the best students in the country would want to attend.

The dumbing down continues.
That’s OK, I encourage my kids to work, before or during, any higher level degrees/certifications they may choose.
Knowing how to work puts you in the top 10% right off the bat.

These schools are all about making money. They don’t care about standards or education. They will dumb down the curriculum in order to keep the admission roles up.

Dumbed-down grammar schools >> dumbed-down secondary schools >> dumbed-down colleges.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to party and to receive your everybody-gets-one degree.

Universities are lowering expectations for pandemic-era students

_________________________________________________

Well, Universities have certainly lowered my expectations for putting out rational students. Way too many of them seem like radicalized dolts to me.
