I have many academic friends. One woman is a professor at a lower-tier state school. They are keeping their enrollment consistent but fewer people apply every year, resulting in intellectually declining classes every year. There are simply too many colleges, and our public schools are by-and-large atrocious for the money we spend, so it’s not going to get any better. Certainly throwing more money at public schools is not the answer. In my opinion we need to take all the smart and ambitious kids and segregate them into good schools, while the rest can be glorified day care for kids on their phones.
