“The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend.” and “In a summary of the findings, the bureau says that "evidently, students' motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their subsequent success than average academic ability of their classmates.””Like she said, I agree that it is what a student does in a school that matters more. For example, it would not matter what college a really hard working and diligent student goes to since they will still learn so much. On the other hand, if a really lazy student goes to an elite school, that student would perhaps skip classes or not do their homework, leading them to fail. Though, I do believe that a student will get more pressure in an elite school over a unwanted school. More pressure will lead to more hard work, but this will also lead to increased stressed.
Kevin Carey was the most unpersuasive out of the seven. He started off his post with what seemed as a sarcastic tone, hinting how biased he is.
“If you're among the small handful of students who have stellar SAT scores and parents with several hundred thousand dollars to spend, you should seriously consider going to an elite college or university. They're nice places to hang out for four years and you'll probably learn a few things. Even if you don't, you'll still get a piece of paper signifying that you were smart enough to get in and rich enough to pay for it. People care about stuff like that. “I find how he said that only rich people get into good colleges a false accusation. I know there are plenty of poor, but intelligent students that attend to elite colleges. His immaturity made his whole post unattractive and unpersuasive.
