And what share of 18-23 year olds are capable of learning a new language or critical thinking? Darn few. But nearly all are capable of partying, drinking, casual sex, and learning to write and appreciate fine arts a little better.
That's what we should be providing them with free college for.
- wolfgoatcabbage 10y agoThey all knew their native languages and had enough critical thinking to be accepted to college. SAT/ACTs include math and writing sections. So I would venture all 18-23 year olds accepted to college can learn a language and think critically.
- WildUtah 10y agoCritical thinking helps kids get accepted to college? It sure didn't help back in my day. I should have said, few are capable of learning a new language without total immersion. And few are capable of learning to do linear algebra, calculus, or C++ well. Even fewer are capable of serious critical thinking. But they can still mostly benefit from college.
