Readers
know my position on the poor K-12 schools, as well as my feelings
about the lax, ineffective education most colleges offer in their
run-of-the-mill, time-consuming college courses.
My attention today is on the over 22,500 high schools who today turn out so many unfinished products, as well as drop-outs who never complete the easiest of work entailed.
I have always mentioned why high school grads with special achievements ought to get diplomas that note grade honors, to distinguish them from ho-hum students.
Then we should have more, better, specialized high schools as well. But we now have only about 165 of them. On this subject I recommend a book by Chester E. Finn and Jessica A. Hockett about schools where exams are needed to enter. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at twitter)
