The Glade 4.0

Actually, that was exactly what it was. It was a writing in the sciences class and we had to do our own review of a journal article.

I can assure you the revenue isn't an issue for the community high school. Thr school is funded by property taxes, and is in one of the most affluent areas of the state.

A review of a single journal article requires one source: the journal article itself. A "Review of the Literature" on a given topic requires everything written about that topic in the last 7 years and all seminal articles/publications ever written about that topic since it first appeared.

Of course, you just take multiple citations from a single source, but I don't think you mean actual citations. I think you mean sources, in which case I still say, "Bullshit."

I'm familiar with Khross' arguments on this subject.

(i) I don't see any evidence of that happening in the major accredited schools. If there's evidence out there, please link it.
(ii) Possible, but I thought that folks here generally felt that people should be held accountable for their own actions.
(iii) I'm not sure that I buy that having more students somehow increases overall cost for schooling. In most every business that I know, increasing production allows you to be able to reduce costs. There is perhaps some argument for devaluing the employment advantages of a degree by having more of them around, but I'm not convinced that the detriment there outweights the overall benefits of having a more educated public.

I've linked plenty of empirical evidence on this in the past, only to be met with summary dismissals of the sources and the argument. I'm not sure I'm inclined to do it again. And, unfortunately, anything truly useful that I can provide you requires access to an academic library. Journal studies just aren't that available to non-paying readers in the internet world.Except, going to college when you are not economically, psychologically, or academically prepared has very little responsibility burden. You cannot provide recompense for your drain on the system.Eh, you can't increase supply to meet demand, since education requires placing a burden on qualified people. You have two choices, and this covers part of the problem with the first point: either you somehow find a way to produce more qualified instructors, or you lower the qualifications necessary for instructors. Throwing 600 students in a lecture is simply not feasible for the majority of subjects. And, to that end, our public isn't more educated. Declining Standardized Test scores, standards, and college acceptance minimums indicate that increasing access to universities has no net positive effect on baseline education in the country. And you can look at the effect it's had on hiring minimums ...

You can practice your way to higher SAT scores, sure, but it's still mostly talent. You're not going to improve your scores much, typically (the exception to this are smart people that can't take tests worth a ****).

Conversely, working your *** off with little talent can improve your grades a ton.
