Education Fronlines: Cheap Diplomas, Cheap Degrees
From pandemic screen-learning to Education School disregard for content, American schools are rapidly reducing the learning required for achieving a high school diploma or a college degree.To previously accommodate the extremely rare super-student we previously called a “Doogie Howser,” or today a “Young Sheldon,” we allowed those rare individuals to jump grades in elementary and high school and occasionally graduate college before they were eligible to drive.Then two decades ago, the “dual credit” system allowed high school juniors and seniors to go next door to sit in genuine college courses on a local campus, earning bona fide college credit that also counted toward high school graduation.
