Reason number ### for why lack of choice in education is bad
- ucaetano 9y agoYeah, the Dutch educational system is clearly failing, being the 9th best in the world...
- smith_winston 9y agoMeasuring and ranking systems like this always involves impossibly circular problems. Ability differs between populations. The best system will produce the best possible result for a population, not necessarily the best overall result.
- maehwasu 9y agoTo what degree do those rankings simply correspond to average population IQ? Genuinely curious.
- ucaetano 9y agoAre you claiming that dutch people have genetic traces that lead to higher IQ? Because a better education leads to higher IQ; so, if the Dutch people have higher IQs on average, it might be because of the better education.
- sweep3r 9y ago>Are you claiming that dutch people have genetic traces that lead to higher IQ? Yes? It's a homogeneous, white society; compare that to the US. http://i.imgur.com/FhEZG1G.png http://i.imgur.com/FhEZG1G.png
- icebraining 9y agoObviously it's not failing, but it could be succeeding despite this. Especially since has it's been pointed out, most of the Dutch educational system does not use this mechanism.
- neilwilson 9y agoTo have choice you have to have spare capacity. And we are supply side limited in teaching capability. That's why there are more pupils than teachers.
