FWIW, after teaching at a high school school/community college program for the last 10 years, the three causes I see in the decrease in college readiness are:
1. Increase in range of abilities/behavior per class
2. Incomplete, outdated and haphazard teaching and assessing critical thinking and critical writing skills. (This includes the lack of understanding the impact of distracted learning in the social media age)
3. Trickle down career exploration. Nearly all students are told ( by government, textbook companies, etc) to try some form of college. However, our economy only needs about 40% to be college grads. The other 60% fail, get into debt and end up, hopefully, finding the job they should gone into the first place (retail).
