I wrote a book about this 10-ish years ago. Education as we knew it to be and expect it be is over. The writing has been on the wall for over a decade. The acceleration of absurd and ridiculous parental expectations and deep seeded belief that their child is a genius (the child most decidedly is not) compounded by an utter lack of cohesive national policy magnified most campuses driving so far from the baseline goal of educating has sent nearly every college and university in to a self cannibalizing death spiral. Students don’t have the discipline, intelligence, or curiosity and parents are too over involved to let the system evolve. Instead everyone is concerned about getting a “good job” and becoming a worker bee… like everyone else. Ultimately, parents ruined higher ed. Colleges and universities will undoubtedly remain, but they won’t ever recover. If you have a young person send them traveling around the world instead. They will learn more and be more resilient as a consequence of spreading their wings. That will never happen on a college campus.</p>\n","url":"https://micro.blog/velocykel/60946167","date_published":"2025-03-28T22:14:33+00:00","author":{"name":"velocykel","url":"https://velocykel.micro.blog/","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2024%2F00%2F1541090.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"velocykel"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2025-03-28 22:14","date_timestamp":1743200073,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":true}},{"id":"60623792","content_html":"<p><a href=\"https://micro.blog/pgkr\">@pgkr</a> I’m sorry.
