[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 926219, member: 6459"] Whether or not failing out two thirds of people is good or not seems like it would have to be measured by whether or not those people could have learned the material if the school had better instruction or support. Hard to say, obviously, but my take on todays higher test scores and grades and all is that kids are forced into a lot more structure at a much earlier age now. It’s a parental arms race to pad their college applications, but for a limited number of spots, so as far as applications go, it’s a zero sum game. But the kids I know are WAY more used to and willing to do more schoolwork and studying than my friends ever were at that age. And my most recent new college grad hires in 2019-2022 have had a bit better work ethics than the 2009-2012 ones, anecdotally. So maybe it’s actually a good thing? (But then mental health wise… maybe not so much.) [/QUOTE]
