Had been Hogwarts worth the price of tuition for Harry Potter?

Was the Hogwarts quality of education worth it for Harry Potter? Aspiring journalistic minds wish to know. According to Arbesman.net, the quality of schooling is low, as Hogwarts’ curriculum is too specialized. However the Washington Post sided with the positive when it comes to hallowed Hogwarts’ educational acumen. One may ask if individuals would care right now, if not for the theatrical premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

Is the education at Hogwarts worth getting?

As outlined by the Huffington Post, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has come out. That means that it is a good time to talk all about the journey Harry has gone through. Since Harry is leaving Hogwarts, it may be a good time to give Hogwarts a record card on how it did. It's pupils are doing this. Samuel Arbesman gives the hallowed halls a failing grade:

As near as I can tell, if you grow up in the magical world (as opposed to be Muggle-born, for example), you do not go to school at all until the age of eleven. In fact, it’s entirely unclear to me how the children of the wizarding world learn to read and write. There is a reason Hermione seems much more intelligent than Ron Weasley. It's because Ron is very likely completely uneducated.

If Harry Potter and pals are expected to make their way in college and graduate school (also as in their future careers), they’ll have to do it within the Muggle world. Harry Potter may be unprepared for the "real" world based upon off of what he learned in magic only, says Arbesman. No Quiddich, no flying brooms, no wands and no spells can help as much as critical thinking and a knowledge of mundane Muggle things.

Washington Post defending Hogwarts

Muggle schools in The United States have to learn from Hogwarts, says Valerie Strauss from the Washington Post:

The array of Hogwarts courses — required and elective — has a creative breadth not seen in many a school here in the No Child Left Behind era, in which curriculum has been so drastically narrowed that a lot of kids don’t get much history, science or physical education.

You will find numerous classes offered at Hogwarts. Some include things like Charms, Defense Against the Dar Arts, Transfiguration, Ghoul Studies and Herbology. Critical thinking is necessary, because a dim bulb of a wizard is cannon fodder for the dark Lord Voldemort.
