My wife wanted to become a nurse, but she could not get into any of the programs in the area. Admittance is based on a point system, effectively requiring students to repeat classes until they get straight A’s. There are more students that want to become nurses than opportunities for them, so this is a matter of intentionally restricted supply.

Cheating was rampant in her classes, and at least one of those cheating students got a slot over my wife. That person paid others to take her tests. The schools don’t care.

It is a true race to the bottom here, and it’s going to end very badly for everyone.
