EducationNews.org picked up Prof. Nan Miller’s report on the deplorable writing skills of college graduates. Aside from providing readers with a link to the report, the article provides Prof. Miller’s insights and opinions about college writing as a whole. In his presentation given to an audience of 424 at the Weston in Charlotte, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich touched on the poor quality of education in America. The failure of the bureaucracy that is public education, said Gingrich, has had a profound effect on poverty in this nation. In direct response to former Senator John Edwards’s attempt to eradicate poverty, Gingrich challenged Edwards to recognize the root causes of poverty and then do something about it.
