The results of inflated self-esteem

Stuart Schneiderman wonders if one can sue public school teachers for malpractice. His question arises out of the fact that fewer and fewer students are graduating from college with science degrees.

It appears that the rampant self-esteemism that infects America’s schools has produced students who cannot do college level work in any discipline where they will be subjected to objective evaluation. Better yet, their self-esteem has been inflated to the point where they do not even know how little they know.

Let's not forget, if you want to major in science you really have to do the work. Apparently, these students did not learn a work ethic in high school.
