J. T. Sandefur Western Kentucky University American's ability to
compete in world markets is eroding. The productivity growth of our
competitors outdistances our own. The capacity of our economy to
provide a high standard of living for all our people is
increasingly in doubt. As jobs requiring little skill are automated
or go offshore and demand increases for the highly skilled, the
pool of educated and skilled people grows smaller and the backwater
of the unemployable rises. Large numbers of American children are
in limbo--ignorant of the past and unprepared for the future. Many
are dropping out--notjust out of school--but out of productive
society. These are not my words. They are a direct quote from the
Executive Summary of the Carnegie Forum Report on Education and the
Economy entitled A Nation Prepared: Teachers for the 21st Century
(p. 2, 1986). This report was motivated by four purposes: 1. To
remind Americans, yet again, of the economic challenges pressing us
on all sides; 2. To assert the primacy of education as the
foundation of economic growth, equal opportunity and a shared
national vision; 3. To reaffirm that the teaching profession is the
best hope for establishing new standards of excellence as the
hallmark of American education; and 4. To point out that a
remarkable window of opportunity lies before us in the next decade
to reform education, an opportunity that may not present itself
again until well into the next century.
