Are Schools Preparing Students for 21st Century Learning? - David Nagel, THE Journal

There's a "disconnect" between school administrators and parents. While more than half of America's school principal's said they think they're "doing a good job" preparing students for the 21st century, only a third of parents of middle school and high school students agreed, according to research released by Project Tomorrow and Blackboard. The research also showed that only 40 percent of students in grades 6 through 12 think their schools are doing a good job preparing them for the future.
