It'll have the exact opposite effect; by hiding the avenues for students to differentiate themselves, those avenues will then ONLY be open to those who come from families who know where to find them. This will quite literally exacerbate the problem.
- MattGaiser 5y agoI am curious about that. How many high achieving parents are just going to accept this rather than transfer their kids to private school, hack the scheduling system (take the useless courses you just need to graduate with online to free up more time for other things), mix and match courses externally with various providers, etc?
- BitwiseFool 5y agoThat's EXACTLY what I would end up doing. People in this thread have a decidedly hostile attitude towards people using their accumulated wealth/success in order to make their own children stand out. But honestly, what's so immoral about that? If I have the money to pay for private schooling, tutors, or afterschool activities, you betcha I'm going to give that to my child. Sure, it would be nice if the other kids had that too, but that's something the voters and politicians have decided on. As a lone voter in a democracy, how can you reasonably expect me to raise the quality of education for all the other kids before helping my own?
