Bob Herbert in the Times, "Roughly a third of all American high school students drop out. Another third graduate but are not prepared for the next stage of life — either productive work or some form of post-secondary education.
When two-thirds of all teenagers old enough to graduate from high school are incapable of mastering college-level work, the nation is doing something awfully wrong."
One of my students sent me a link to Edwards on Colbert. Alexandra Stanley has more on politicians making an ass of themselves on TV.
The best bidet commercial ever.
