> Maybe colleges can just accept the best students

If you want to see what a world where universities do that, check Europe in the 11th century. You might just like it

And if you want to see a world where colleges accept everyone, without requiring a minimum qualification, look at our current system: over 50% of students lack proficient literacy skills.

It shouldn’t be controversial to recognize that some students are not capable of success in college.

[rolph]

do you mean intrinsically not capable, or systemicaly not capable.

[alex43578]

Intrinsically. Someone with an IQ of 85 will not be successful in college.

The idea that anyone can be anything is harmful to everyone. If you are 5’2”, you won’t make it in today’s NBA. If you are 400lbs, you are not healthy.

I’m sure some people have been failed by the K-12 educational system, but the answer isn’t to further degrade the college system.

You actually think universities have anything to do with how Europe was in the 11th century?
