[xmca] MCA Featured Article by Mike Rose

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

The issue of MCA 19(1) about to be published has a Featured Article by 
Mike Rose: "Rethinking Remedial Education and the Academic-Vocational 
Divide." If all goes as promised, Taylor & Francis should be offering it 
for free download as of today. But a PDF is attached just in case! The 
issue also contains commentaries on Mike Rose's article by Norton Grubb, 
Kris Gutierrez, Sara Goldrick-Rab.

The article is a scathing criticism of the US public education system, 
but one which makes very specific suggestions for improvement based on a 
life time of experience. It is also written in popularly accessible 
language rather than the usual academic genre. Rather than the usual 
practice of putting to a vote the article for discussion on xmca, it 
seemed crazy not to simply nominate this one. So please see attachment.
