They obviously aren't preparing anything, since I am sitting here completely unprepared. The United States often represents itself as the greatest nation on the face of the earth. But when it comes to education, we miss the mark. At least we have bigger guns. I think that other countries are clued in to what our nation is not.
Education is a big deal.
That is how widespread this problem is. Education is what gets us where we need to go. This problem does extend farther than us poor freshman not being prepared for college. Yet, that is a good place to start. Education needs to be increased from kindergarten on up to truly get young adults ready for whatever is at the next turn.
