An article in the Globe and Mail from April 18, 2009 identifies serious problems with university bound high school students.
The article clearly says that students are not motivated, are not stretched academically, get As and Bs just for showing up, are immature and disorganized, lack math and writing skills, can't think critically, and believe that research is synonymous with Wikipedia.
Count me a member of the "Old Farts Club" that is mentioned in the article. Now, what can we do about it?
This article is confirmed by the Toronto Star on April 6, 2009. What is this, take pot shots at students month? Its like shooting fish in a barrel.
