You're against merit being rewarded now?
You know that is not relevant. I am not going to humor your "survival of the fittest" nonsense.
Shackling a person's life to their parent's income, where they are born, and 4 years of their life while they are going through puberty is not ethical.
I'm for merit. But I'm also for second chances. Maybe third and fourth chances, if its your own money.
If sanders does anything to take money out of politics, he has done the most important thing possible for this run of presidents. Just constantly bringing the issues into constant debate would be worth it.
Cheeks is right about this. Merit based rewards will skew towards families who can afford to supplement their education.
I was lucky because my state covered most of tuition for students who maintained a 3.0 GPA.
A kid who is at Ghetto High is competing with other kids at Ghetto High to get to the top 10% or whatever.
What the hell else are we supposed to do if we're not rewarding merit in some form?
Cry constantly.
I've never met a person from Denmark who couldn't go to college because of grades. I know a great deal of foreign people. I've never seen it once. I'm not saying it doesn't happen (I guess), but I'm unaware of it.
Shit, people with 16s on the ACT can get into college somewhere.
Americas great. Anyone can improve themselves.
Also, there is some smooth goal post moving in this thread. By people that don't eve support free college no less.
We've went from picking a limited number of top performers for a smaller number of college students being bad/good to debating the value of rewording good grades, to debating rewording good grades ever.
Because apparently saying only allowing A+ students in college is systemically racist is the same thing as punching nerds in the face and filling their classes with the mentally handicapped.
Many local Toronto schools have European exchanges. I've never heard a story of people coming back who said the curriculum wasn't a joke and most students fuck around because there is no cost.
Not sure that's too bad of a consequences of free schooling but American (and British) style higher education offers stronger results IMO. Maybe Bernie could go Dutch with everyone.
I don't know how anyone could posit the idea people who work hard and achieve good grades shouldn't be rewarded for it.Quote:
