What did Harry Potter discover at Hogwarts?

Did Harry Potter get a quality schooling at Hogwarts? Journalists with nothing better to do want answers. According to Arbesman.net, the high quality of education is low, as Hogwarts’ curriculum is too specialized. This got the Washington Post’s knickers in a twist, as one writer felt the creative range of Hogwarts’ offerings were more than enough to generate well-rounded individuals. Yes, anything to promote "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

Is Hogwarts a quality education at all?

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. It appears to be a popular thing for pupils at Hogwarts to give the school a record card after Harry is leaving Hogwarts. A failing grade was given by Samuel Arbesman:

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.

Harry Potter is just one of numerous that are likely to have to go to the Muggle world for any more schooling. They have to go to college and graduate schools there. According to Arbesman, magic won't help Harry very much. The "real" world needs more than this. There aren't any wants, spells, flying brooms or Quiddich in the Muggle world. That means knowing about Muggles and having critical thinking can be the best things to have.

Hogwarts defended by the Washington Post

Valerie Strauss of the Washington Post argues that Muggle (American) public schools have much to learn from the Hogwarts model:

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 consist of things like Charms, Defense Against the Dar Arts, Transfiguration, Ghoul Studies and Herbology. It is extremely significant to have critical thinking. The only way to get away from the dark Lord Voldemort is to do this.
