I suspect – if other investments are not made in creating a more rigorous curriculum, teaching students to study and think independently, and guiding them through becoming fluent in written and mathematical analysis and processes of creativity, collaboration, and research – it will be a dramatic failure at producing students that are prepared for college.
Getting more and more children aware of college does not automatically have the affect or effect of getting them prepared to go to and succeed in college. That, schools don’t want to recognize, takes innovation and work by everyone at all levels in all subjects.
