Why Are Some Students Unsuccessful in Completing Their Education

at 43:43

From the episode: Austen Allred of Lambda School

Answer

It seems that traditional educational models assume that some students are going to succeed and some will fail, and instead of helping those who might fail, they are making sure the other ones are guaranteed to succeed. It does not mean you cannot learn the curriculum, but if a student and the school don't share the same goals to begin with, it becomes even harder for someone to succeed when faced with a challenge.
