[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question was if students are better prepared for college not if colleges are more rigorous. [/quote] It would be strange if better prepared students were getting a less rigorous curriculum and vice versa. Those variables are not independent.[/quote] But we are not talking about better-prepared students. We are discussing students that are not prepared because of their K-12 education. That is what the OP asked. I am a college professor that has taught at a top 10 STEM university, a top 20 university, a SLAC and I now teach at a Tier 1 Public. I would argue that many students over the last 20 years are not prepared for a rigorous curriculum. Most U.S. students are not prepared for a standard college curriculum. Many students haven't learned how to write, go beyond rote thinking and develop problem-solving skills needed to navigate the demands of a college student. [/quote]
