[lbo-talk] How Much Do College Students Learn, and Study?

[c b]

Well, we've got a generation of K-12 kids who score miserably on
international tests, we're about the only country in the world where
people in their 20s are not surpassing the educational attainment of
people in their 50s, and a major chunk of college students are getting
approximately nothing out of their experience, yet we nonetheless
think we're pretty fucking great. I dunno, I see a problem with that.

CB: I still think the ruling class doesn't want tens of millions of
"analytical" and critical thinkers. They especially don't want a lot
of critical thinkers.  They remember well that many of the activists
of  the "60's" reform movements were students, critically thinking
students.  So, the state of education described by Doug above is not
an accident.
