A handful of social science professors and leftists students being an “intellectual class” is an odd way of describing it.
How American to look only at the exposed tip of the iceberg. How many students and professors are left-leaning and supportive of Palestine? Just those on the field getting mugged by the police? In today's American elite universities, left-leaning opinion is in the majority, and even though most might choose not to expose themselves that way, it doesn't mean that they are not oppressed or affected when they see these things happening to people whom they agree with. In other words, it's only odd to the short-sighted.
I showed you a 1990s report from the DNI which also has the trend growth estimate. There’s also a reason why workhorse models such as Solow-Swan are used instead of qualitative vibing for economic forecasting lol.
Yeah, because they're so down-to-earth and simple that they require almost no education-specialized input. Which is as I said, US economists are either right because it's common sense or wrong when they try to step it up to a higher level.
States and university systems can work at cross-purposes since university systems are generally operationally independent from a state legislature.
That sucks for the US. That's like the torso trying to move opposite from the legs.
Orrrrr, (and, actually LOL) your excuse is stupid and ignores "Occam's Razor" that making tests easier is usually a response to a complaint that they are too hard for the people taking them.
Universities established in the 1950s-1960s (most regionals including a large number of the SUNYs and CUNYs) weren’t about “maintaining the quality of the attendees”. They are largely open-admissions universities created by state legislatures at the behest of business interests who wanted workforce development and directly topical research for those same business interests (ex., citrus research at UC Riverside).'
They used to be famed for Nobel Laureates; now they're famed for campus gang activity.
There is no “solution” because there simply is no “problem”. The California State University system (and similar regional universities) simply have not had a parade of horrors that supposedly came if they abolished the SAT/ACT.
1 .You're referring to the wrong thing. The problem I referred to is the mass failures in Math in the schools of Balitmore and Chicago.
2. The parade takes time to come; right now the implementation isn't even at mass with many expected to happen in 2025.
Yeah. US cities are the most adversely selected areas in the U.S. due to redlining ,white flight, and zoning (suburban areas tend to have minimum lot sizes and outright bans apartments). Directly analogous to rural areas in China (the adversely selected population doesn’t move to the positively selected area - suburbs in the U.S., cities in China).
No, they are not similar at all. In America's case, it's developed cities degenerating into dirty dysfunctional shit holes. In China, it's rural underdeveloped placed becoming developed and moving up.
Point was (and you don’t dispute) that adversely selected populations have bad outcomes.
I don't dispute this. But for China, the underdeveloped areas are becoming more and more developed and even even then, the lag was not as severe as the US since China is education-oriented. In the US, it's actually developed cities getting worse and worse; there is no light at the end of the tunnel in the latter situation.
Media goes in cycles on which new microeconomic policy area they’ll cover this time - (note that date and the apocalyptic language in
A Nation At Risk)
When did they last circle to the mass failures in education that they are talking about today?
It’s ambiguous at best whether desegregation, more funding, and truancy law enforcement improve educational outcomes? That is…not true. Home school was also very rare in the 1950s and 1960s so it’s simply not relevant for the time period (
)
It wasn't that ambiguous until America came up with these crazy bad results that make you think it could not have possibly been worse. If there was hard data that it was even worse before, then fine but without it, it's just hard to see how this could be an improvement over anything.
Nah. It was a generalized comment that there isn’t an easily accessible decades-long YRBS clone in China
Yeah, so basically a generalized useless politician comment that avoids directly addressing the topic.
