I came to think of the mentality behind these comments as the Best-Student Fetish, a symptom of the increasingly obsessive competition among colleges for the cream of the high school senior crop. The more I thought about the Best-Student Fetish, the more perverse its logic seemed: it is as if the ultimate dream of college admissions is to recruit a student body that is already so well educated that it hardly needs any instruction! Sitting in admissions committee meetings, it was all I could do not to ask, "Hey, why don't we recruit bad students and see if we can actually teach them something?"<br /><br />Enseñarle a los mejores estudiantes no es un reto. Esos necesitan poco de nuestra ayuda. Tal vez nuestra Universidad debe dejar la obsesión con reclutar los mejores estudiantes y llegar a otros grupos que necesitan más de nuestra ayuda.</div> post by <a href="http://www.diigo.com/profile/digizen">digizen</a> on 2008-03-28</li></ul> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:45:01 -0000 http://groups.diigo.com/assessment/forum/topic/proyectos-de-cierres-de-aval-o-del-aprendizaje-2880 <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/assessment/forum/tag/avaluo">avaluo</a> | post by <a href="http://www.diigo.com/profile/digizen">digizen</a> on 2008-03-28<ul><li><div class="trim_content">Comparta aquí todo lo relacionado a los proyectos de cierres de avalúo del aprendizaje.</div> post by <a href="http://www.diigo.com/profile/digizen">digizen</a> on 2008-03-28</li></ul> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:59:42 -0000
