They get sent off the trades schools or just get taught how a mop works. Someone who is a "late bloomer" is going to be putting wheels on Volkswagens or sweeping up the shop. That is one reason why K-12 students apply themselves more than they do in the US. That's true in much of Europe, but here the liberals would be the first to whine about the loss of civil rights if we made 'free' college dependant upon achievement. My Dutch friend's grandson finished his big tests last spring for the university. He didn't do well enough. He gets one more chance, after a lot of summer school, which is not free. Oh no! Not the "T" word. The teachers union does not want us to actually test how well our students are learning. They also do not want to be paid based on performance, only time in grade and post graduate education (paid for by the school system). Guess they don't trust you to measure performance. Hardly surprising. Where did Greg say he would measure performance? Your response made absolutely no sense. Hardly surprising. |
