ELiezer Yudkowski's proposed Institutes of Verification, where one goes
to test for copmetency in ones field independent of the school or
college one attends, therefore, there is no pressure for grade
inflation, etc. is one solution. A big standard test would be useful if
one could take it several times through high school to get an idea of
where the individual may need to focus more attention.
