TOTALLY AGREE.  We are not raising resilient students and society any longer. We are simply handing crutches to everyone, making excuses and giving out pats on the back.  Perhaps 50% of the student population should not be there.  We educate too many people by past standards and perhaps we need to turn to alternate funding models for universities other than bums in chairs.  Where does this all end?  Let's just waive the need for exams and get anyone a nice diploma for showing up.  Better yet, four years is too stressful for a people, lets' make it 2 years and do away with marks.  That way everyone is happy.  Is our society better - I don't think so.  Not everyone is smart enough for university, and that is okay.  We need brick layers, carpenters, and other skilled people.  Let's stop pretending that everyone has the same ability.
