Why are colleges able to cater to people of all abilities whereas our early education can not?
It is a fallacy to think that we must have one system for everybody.
- maxklein 18y agoBecause a person at college age learns different from a child.
- Prrometheus 18y agoDoes a person at college age learn different from a 16 year old?
- echair 18y agoBecause colleges select applicants by aptitude, and elementary schools by proximity.
- Prrometheus 18y agoWhat accounts for the difference here? Why can't K-12 institutions select by aptitude?
- echair 18y agoBecause you can't pack enough different institutions within a sufficiently small radius. Parents want 5 year olds to live at home. They're ok with 18 year olds not.
- Prrometheus 18y agoMost people live within range of a few different schools. Why are they all the same?
- jumper 18y agoBecause colleges actually involve the students in their education.... if only to a small extent.
