from Jonathan in Philadelphia:

"If we want to talk about leveling the social playing field, we need to face the fact that we are graduating many students from high school with a skill set that fails to match the pedagogical and curricular demands of higher ed. You can give those students access to a laptop and Coursera, but what good would it do them? And those are the kids that we need to have at the forefront of our thinking about education reform."
