Great write up MG. Obviously, as you noted, it starts with students not being prepared in high school. It's a real catch 22 though. We want schools and teachers to be accountable, but I truly believe that our current system of "grading" schools incentivizes teachers and faculty to award grades that may not be earned. Heavy standardized testing also leads to students being taught to pass the test rather than how they may apply the material they are learning in professional and real world situations.
