<p>Different perspective here:</p>
<p>I was born in Romania, currently going to attend Duke this fall.</p>
<p>In Europe we let “bad eggs” fail- disruptive people that have no desire to learn, no drive, no initiative, and cause an epidemic to spread that puts this mindset into other minds. You might not think much of my country, but we have a huge intellectual base and job turnout of skilled workers from our Universities because we simply stop trying to coddle individuals born to fail. In America, it is way different. A MN middle school was almost closed because two minority students (saying minority to specify brackets) thought they were too cool to take the national test MCA and the requirement for minorities was not met (there were literally 4 kids not white in the whole school so 50% was failing). As the story goes, these students eventually dropped out of high school because again, nothing could change them. Our system is just different I guess.</p>
