Why they call it HIGHER education ?
A Swedish study suggests taller boys get longer educations. Height was measured at age 18; additional years of education were measured afterward. Researcher's findings: 1) the probability of achieving higher education in later life increases linearly with height; 2) men taller than 194 cm (6 ft 4 in) were 2-3 times more likely to obtain a higher education when compared with men shorter than 165 cm. The correlation persisted when IQ and social background were factored out. Researchers' explanations: we discriminate against short kids by expecting less of them.
Now I know why they call it HIGHER education.
