For Monday, please download, print, and read the editorial “A Matter of Degrees“ by Clive Crook.* This editorial appeared in the Comment section of the November 2006 issue of The Atlantic. As you read the essay, list what you think are Crook’s main points about the way we think about education in the U.S.
*Addendum (11/5/06): A number of people have had trouble downloading the file. If you are unable to download and print the file, try getting it through Academic Search Premier (via the UVSC library — you should be able to login to the databases with your UV ID) or email me, and I will send you the file. I’ll warn you, though, that I may not get your email in time to reply before class tomorrow.
