When you try to force everyone to have equal results, naturally the top-tier gets brought down. High school really sapped my motivation, from my perspective why work hard when you don't have to? So adjusting to college was rougher than it should have been. It would've been easier if teachers pushed me according to my abilities in high school.
- hugh3 15y agoI went to a selective school, where it was like this for everybody. They put all the smart kids into one school, but didn't actually give us work that was any more challenging than you'd get at another school. Too much brains plus not enough challenge equals a culture of laziness. Competitive laziness. It was okay, at my school, to do well, provided that you didn't actually put any work into it.
