The easy A

August 16, 2006

If you are interested in how colleges educate our kids, here are some interesting thoughts:

EconLog, College Customers vs. Suppliers, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty

The easy A course doesn’t compete well with the unmeasurable tough course that really teaches something. In my college (ancient) days, the World War II vets around were mature enough to go for the tough stuff that would help them get on with their lives. I hope that there are still many college students who don’t take a myopic view and at least sometimes pass up the easy A for more substantive stuff. But then, what do I know?
