There is this concept in the world of clothing called “vanity sizing” where brands for example label a pair of 34 pants as 32s. They find they sell better.

What College Board is doing is similar. Basically this is “vanity scoring” and it makes it easier to sell the AP to schools

[Hector Resendez - Trade School Secrets @TS_Secrets]

One of my buddy’s sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.

He was told either college or military were his only two options.

His parents weren’t exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.

Most of their friends’ kids were going off to universities. Their son was showing up to job sites at 6am.

By 21 he was making $90k

By 24 he had his master electrician license making over $120k

At 27 he started taking his own jobs on the side for a total of $200k

Last year at 29 his little “electrician business” did $1.8M with 4 vans.

Funny how that works.

His parents used to explain why he didn’t go to college.

Now they tell everyone he owns an electrical company.

We need more 18-year-olds to know this path exists.

Day 229 tagging @mikeroweworks until more parents start bragging about trade school too.

Consider to RT if you agree.

Study from China:

Students who used AI saw a 18% increase in grades on homework while spending only 45 minutes (down from 64). But they scored 20% lower on tests.

This is what’s happening right now in US schools.

In the last 25 years, education has seen the following increases:

The demographic cliff is here.

Syracuse offered students significant discounts to attend but still ended up under-enrolled.

The university has already offered buyouts to 175 professors and closed 93 majors.

And the pop. of 18-year-olds “will decline for the next 15 years.”

Many parents see national curriculums as behind the times on everything from race to artificial intelligence—or as too hidebound for a fast-changing world https://t.co/KDJuvKaPGx

@jawwwn_ @60Minutes There is obviously no “degree” you can get from a university that actually teaches you how to make an orbital rocket, as none of the professors know how to do it!

[Brandon Warmke @BrandonWarmke]

For years, faculty have been warned: reform and govern yourselves responsibly or others will do it for you. Instead, they responded with contempt and narcissistic confidence that they can do whatever they want. So now they'll act like shocked victims and still refuse to reform.
