College bribery scandal: professors respond
to our anonymous column
Kevin McLin notes:
“Many, perhaps
most, of these students are also unprepared for college. They lack the academic
skills that students should learn in high school, and in some cases, middle
school. This is because our public schools are no longer doing the job they are
supposed to do.
Additionally, we
are trying to cram more students through college despite our lack of financial
support for the K12 and public higher-ed system. We simply are not educating a
huge number of Americans. This has been going on for generations. It’s nothing
new and probably started in the late 80s or early 90s. It has become worse over
time, though there are large variations from state to state. That is the real
untold story. Focusing on the elite schools seems more like a distraction.”
