I Have Random Thoughts

Interesting article on page 1 of the 12/27 NY times: the rate at which US high school diplomas are granted is increasing, but several college preparedness metrics are decreasing. What does that say about the rigor and effectiveness of US high schools? (and - NO - don't blame teachers; they are really constrained by the system).

High school should be a way to prepare people for a job anyway. It should not be a way to prepare people for college. College is a resource that should go to the smarter and more determined people in society.
