| zebes, schools may be tending towards 2+3 because it guarantees them students who can cut it in college. High schools are variable and a 4.0 and one doesn't necessarily equal a 4.0 at another. Also, many of the courses in the first two years are general courses that are not professional and can be fulfilled in the liberal arts college (bio, math, physics, chem, humanities and social science requirements). Thus, I could believe they may be better respected because the students went through more grief to get in.
But, when it is all said and done, most people do not even know where their co-workers got their degree and if you can pass the licensing exam, it really doesn't matter. |
