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).

It means high schools are churning out uneducated kids. And yes, teachers are partly to blame for that. The system too. The entire apparatus needs serious reform. Unfortunately, that won't happen.
