I don't have direct experience but I think the whole system in Europe is designed to irrevocably pigeon hole students very early in the game.
If I remember California State Colleges have a bunch of placement tests to gauge what level of classes to put beginning students in. I think I'd be happier with a system that throws a net wide and than deals with the result on an as needed basis. Than a hyper meritocratic system that excludes large segments of society.
- BurningFrog 6y ago> the whole system in Europe Pet peeve: There is no European system. At least every country has their own unique system.
- Gibbon1 6y agoSo whats your point here?
- njonesuk 6y agoThat your statement about "the whole European system" is factually incorrect, because every single country takes their own approach, and there are huge variations between them. Trying to tar the whole of Europe with one brush would be like Europeans conflating the US education system with Paraguay and Ecuador because it's the "whole American system".
