The Every Child a Dilbert Act may not be working out quite as intended. Of course we can't fully trust test scores or grades, as the former are fickle as public opinion polls, and the latter are subject to inflation, but somehow -- and don't tell us where we absorbed this notion -- we doubt that teaching to the test is necessarily teaching to learn. And then comes this "surprising" statistic:
More students live in homes where adults have a college degree — 47% in 2005, compared to only 41% in 1992.But then what goes on in college, and in most colleges, is hardly education.
