Here is the take on one faculty member's take on a recent presenter's presentation, " Despite the fact that the claim of some recent "crisis," in student basic skills has no basis in real data at least as far as English is concerned, and is very likely best understood (as Mike Rose and many others have been explaining since the 1980s) as an artifact created by a) the integration of American schools, b) the expansion of educational access beyond an elite few, and c) recent economic problems, and politicians trying to make hay by blaming liberals for lowered standards, the reality is that these demands are going to be with us for a while."
