Isn't this where the philosophy of " all children are equal" runs into the real world?
In the academic realm, as in most others, there are people with an aptitude, and people who lack that aptitude. Fitting the round peg into the square hole is costly.....and stupid.
We need to elevate, in the public mind, the value of trades-people. The colleges have done a good job of making it seem that everyone should go to college. Its time to reverse that thought, but maintain the dignity of all.
