From an e-mailed feature headlined: TODAY'S WORD ON JOURNALISM--Wednesday, March 21, 2007
ENG 101 (from the Hunh? Dept):
"The facts are stunning. More than 40 percent of students arrive on college campuses needing remedial work. . . . Colleges and universities spend billions of dollars a year trying to bring those unprepared students up to speed. . . . The whole nation is suffering as a result. America is fast losing its lead in critical fields.
A survey of professors and HS teachers finds that 84% of profs and 65% of teachers think HS grads are unprepared for college. Worse: 6% of profs think students are very well prepared in writing, compared to 36% of HS teachers."
