[quote=Anonymous]This is reflective of the current state of US education, and Harvard is not immune. Columbia professors have been complaining for years. High school curriculum has abandoned facts/content in favor of ideology. Required reading is minimized. Assessments are light and filled with post self reflection rather than expectations of mastery of the material. Test retakes are the norm, even in advanced AP classes!. Kids now read articles and passages vs full books. It's ridiculous. Science/math are less problematic but humanities and social sciences are a big issue. US kids may have high grades/test scores, but that doesn't mean they are smart or well educated. [/quote]
