We are not doing an adequate job of preparing students for life and work in the 21st century. There are many reasons for students’ difficulties. Far too many come to college today less well prepared than in the past and are not able to work at the level that should be required of them. It is essential to develop an approach to reform that integrates K-12 and college education.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 9px/normal Georgia; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">The challenges students face are compounded by pressures faculty members face. The imbalance between research and teaching has led to curricula that are over-specialized. Many of the courses offered are of little interest or use to students. When a person’s professional future depends on research and publication, there is very little incentive to spend time teaching and working with students.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 9px/normal Georgia; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">But even well intentioned teachers who would like to do more for their students often face insurmountable difficulties. Growing financial problems make it virtually impossible to provide the kind of education students deserve. While faculty members and graduate students are being cut, many schools are trying to increase income by admitting more students.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 7.5px/normal Georgia; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">When there is pressure to teach large classes to help the bottom line, the wisest policy is to assign little reading or writing.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 9px/normal Georgia; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">When there is pressure to teach large classes to help the bottom line, the wisest policy is to assign little reading or writing and to grade easily.

Students are going to need new skills and different literacies in the future. The technological revolution that continues to take place is transforming the very structure of knowledge and, by extension, is changing the way people think, read and write. Traditional skills and competence in reading and writing are still necessary but are no longer sufficient. We must also teach students to be as critical and creative in new media as they should be in the old.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 9px/normal Georgia; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">None of this will be easy or cheap but it must be done now.
