> The goal of education is to educate, not to flunk a certain percentage of people.

No. The purpose of normal college is to educate.

The purpose of Ivy league school is to separate the exquisite from the mediocre. If you aren't exquisite then why are you going to $100k college? Because your parents can afford it.

There is some low income kid who actually is exquisite who should get that seat in the exquisite class.

You don't deserve to pass just because you're not an idiot. If you are even a little bit of an idiot you should not be able to get a Harvard education. You should flunk out, lose your parents money, and try again in community College.

You are not entitled to pass because you are average and your parents are rich. College is not risk free.
