Higher Education

I got a problem with how the general higher education is done considering student motivation and followup to make sure they do what they need to.

I realize that in that after high school you are pretty much meant to be taking care of your own learning and finishing school on your own. But... how does this work really... before and up to high school you get a lot of help from teachers and the school does it's very best to help you succeed and pass your exams. 

And as soon as you get to the education that is going to make or break your future career it's your responsibility, no one to look over your shoulder, no one to make sure you do actually study, and no one to check if you really are ready for your exams when they come up. Kids that go right from high school to some form for higher education. It's kind of a shock for kids how much they can now decide what they do or not do considering school, a lot of them can't handle doing this on their own yet. 

You are much more likely to finish your exams well if you go back to school later in life, then you know how to take responsibility and you know you have to work hard to get it done, but a lot of people have never been faced with this before! It's not their fault they fail... They are kind of set up to fail to be honest.

If the government hire someone, maybe a shrink or just someone who can talk to these kids, so they have someone to give them an idea of how much school work they need to do each week not to get totally screwed over by the exams at the end of a semester. It might cost them a bit, but how many of these kids who fail their exams will end up living on disability checks in the end? Not all, but a fair amount! Quite sure it would be better off in the long run to just pay some people to help them in the start instead, and a lot of people would be happier! It would change quite a few lives.
