[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't students study and get evaluated "properly"? Why is it called "grind"? It is called learning and evaluating. Not everyone deserves a trophy. Studying or get out of the school to do something more meaningful to your life.[/quote] Have you taken an in-person tour at a place like Caltech, MIT or CMU? The kids there tell you it's a ton of work, 10-12 hours x 7 days a week. Why are some parents so nervous about their kids' future employment prospects that that want them to start brutal job training 7 days a week for 4 years (or more) starting at age 18? [/quote] It's not even job training. It's partially work for the sake of work to separate the dream de la creme de la cremr from the creme de la creme, and partially grade school prep. Indeed, students often find themselves under prepared for industry relative to similarly talented peers at similarly prestigious non-grind schools.[/quote]
