Also, some places in America, such as Kansas when I was growing up,
have a policy of admitting all residents to university , but staying
in is the responsibility of the student. This leads to more students
having an opportunity to start college, but also more flunking out.

Yes, that was the case in Ohio when I was in college. And more
flunked out. Today, most of those kids end up in a two year college
and don't at all start at a four year school. But they don't learn
a trade. We have an abhorence of teaching anything practical.

And, at the same time, an abhorence of teaching or learning
anything impractical (art, music, theoretical math or science, ...)

But we have great parties!
