If You Think The Cost Of Education

Although Professors Regard Improving Critical Thinking As The Most Important Goal Of College, Tests Reveal That Seniors Who Began Their Studies With Average Critical Thinking Skills Have Progressed Only From The 50th Percentile Of Entering Freshmen To About The 69th Percentile.

The College That Takes Students With Modest Entering Abilities And Improves Their Abilities Substantially Contributes More Than The School That Takes Very Bright Students And Helps Them Develop Only Modestly.

The Oldest Of The Arts And The Youngest Of The Professions.

I Think Any Self-respecting Educational Institution Ought To Judge Its Policies By Its Best Estimate Of What Their Long-term Consequences For Their Students And For The Society Will Be.

The Most Obvious Purpose Of College Education Is To Help Students Acquire Information And Knowledge By Acquainting Them With Facts, Theories, Generalizations, Principles, And The Like. This Purpose Scarcely Requires Justification.
