Colleges fear the poorly prepared freshmen
Reader comment on: Obama on College Graduates
Submitted by PJ (United States), Mar 16, 2011 11:05
Consider the connection between the failures of our high schools to educate students and the collapsing bubble of higher ed. The feeder system is no longer feeding. Those in higher ed view the dropout rate and the poorly educated HS graduates with alarm. Who is going to populate their general ed classes and their master's programs? How much remedial work can a college really do? I see a wedge developing between the bloated unionism of K-12 and HS and the shrinking of higher ed.
