[edit]

I am for education, but I am against equating credentials with intellect. There are a few studies of questionable value cited in this article. Other studies (I will not cite them, but I hope you will research them) have shown that a large portion of the student population demonstrates no measurable improvement in critical thinking skills or general intelligence between the time of college admission and graduation. I am sorry to point out that this article (at the time of this Talk entry) is essentially a propaganda piece for academic gatekeepers. It serves the personal interests of professional scholars and foments academic snobbery by suggesting that those without access to higher education, for a variety of socially valid reasons, are largely incapable of sophisticated learning and “proven” intellectual inferiors, with only “some” exceptions. Many crucial factors are totally overlooked by this narrow point of view, regardless of how you spin the data to suit the confirmation bias. This article totally discounts the growing trend toward unprovable (by institutional tradition) autodidactic education and competency-based learning. The narrative in its current form is unencyclopedic, biased, and frankly makes facile, offensive blanket claims. I wish I had the time to handle the task of contributing myself, but I tagged it in the hopes someone will take the torch. 67.82.165.69 (talk) 21:55, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you can provide secondary sources for your claims I will add them. The problem is most of this is research (a primary source) and thus is not really for Wikipedia (a tertiary source). Phoenix1494 (talk) 19:30, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
