I would think that by college age, the raw input to the school had better be pretty well-refined and at roughly the same level.
To let people into big-league colleges with any 'fudge factor' isn't doing them any favors. It's just an easy path to failure. (Also: even if the schools provide hand-holding and personal tutoring, the school had better make sure what is provided sticks. Very well. Else they may graduate some 'charity cases', but it won't be doing the graduates any favors when they hit the workforce.)
- ThrustVectoring 7y agoA large portion of the value of a degree is simply in signaling - it tells potential employers rough information about candidate IQ, conscientiousness, and social capital. Graduating unqualified students is absolutely a favor, and a huge one to boot. The primary people harmed are the other students, who suffer the ill effects of inflation in the value of their degree.
