摘要:In recent years, a national concern with “Why can’t Johnny read?” seems to have expanded to “Why can’t Johnny read his college diploma?” There also is an increasing focus on getting students through the higher education system in less time. Federal, state, and charitable programs are searching for answers. Unfortunately, the additional questions that spill out from these endeavors, the questions that guide the search for answers and solutions, may themselves be inhibiting our ability to help Johnny in his quest. This paper explores some of the more important questions being asked and why they are not helping us solve the fundamental underlying problems. Alternative questions are posed, with the hope that pursuing them will result in more effective higher education.
