Years and years ago education began to be structured for fitting people into boxes. The real world is full of unexpected situations and lateral solutions they're just not trained in. What happens when you don't fit into a box?

Not at what they're charging for tuition it isn't. Repeating a class or extending your time in university has a cost attached to it. Not everyone is willing or able to pay those kind of opportunity costs.

Exactly. If you are in a cohorted degree program (i.e. nursing or medical school), failing one class could set you back 6 months or more. Definitely not an option.

High schools start the pressure cooker by stressing grades and SAT scores. They also push kids to decide what they want to do with the rest of their lives before applying to colleges. No wonder kids are anxious!

This is incredibly irresponsible. Students often ARE taking extreme risks by attending college and juggling financial/family/work demands to do so. Failing at any one of them causes a domino reaction - they can end up jobless, penniless, homeless.
