    • Good Stuff Pat. This reinforces other research I’ve been reading on similar topics.

    • One statement in the article shouts out a strong challenge to all educators, “As a country, we need to confront not only how we can compete in a global economy, but also what kind of future we can construct when a sizable segment of our future workforce is not equipped with the skills necessary for higher-level.employment and meaningful participation in our democratic institutions.”
