The Frankish Reich Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: The result of dumbing down education at the high school level - and it absolutely has. I just told you: no it isn't. It isn't "dumbing down at the high school level." It is a pure selection effect. College was for elites, either economically (which, not surprisingly, also tend to be smarter than average) or intellectually in 1939. Now it's for everyone. It has nothing to do with dumbing down; it has everything to do with "dumbing up," as the dumber kids (who've always been there) now go to college too.

It doesn’t. In fact if you are paying for it likely because you’re white and your family makes over 100K bc it’s made good decisions, you may want to say - nah I’ll try a trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Just now, Big Blitz said: Going to college does not = smart. Sorry. It doesn’t. Correct. That's what the article says (as it makes great hay of an incredibly obvious thing). Going to an elite college = really smart. Almost without fail. Going to a competitive college = smart. Except for athletes and legacies at certain ones. Going to any old college or community college = can't make any valid inference re: intelligence.
