Bingo. This thread could end right now.

If you think students are unprepared for college now, wait until they take a gap year.

Our entire K-12 educational system needs a serious re-imagining. But America is unwilling to put the time, effort, and money in to make that happen.

As Davin said, for too many people, the "ends justifying the means" is what matters, an example of the tail wagging the dog...because the ends were more important to society than they've ever been to students or education.

We still teach k-12 as we did 50 years ago. Public education in America is screwed until the process is completely revamped. Imo, one answer could be to pay students for attending school. 'Why is Billy making a dollar an hour when I am only making 25 cents'? 'Because Billy has done the work and you haven't'.

Another solution would be to group students by ability and not by age. I know there are issues placing high school students with 6th graders, but if you want to advance merit...advance merit.

When they join the workforce cheaters will eventually be found out. They spend more energy on faking what they know than simply getting a book and learning it. Once word gets out on how dumb you are, you're toast.

Unless they get management jobs.
