Yeah I’ve been saying for years that this is a problem, and people just called me elitist. Like, excuse me? If expecting college students to perform at a college-level is elitist, then what the fuck is an education even for? It’s just a degree-mill at that point.
Might as well send kids to the mines right after middle school at that point instead of making them spend years jumping through hoops and gaining no knowledge or understanding of the world just so they can qualify to be exploited for menial labor in an air-conditioned setting…
your mistake is to assume that there’s a point in any activity at all. “the mines” are not more productive than to just sit at home, and they’re not more fun either. same goes for school.

“College level” means more than most people know. Standardized tests have a tendency to be racist. The average going down is bad.
