I agree with that analysis, and that's why I think the universities and colleges have to be much more involved in a coherent strategy. We provide the resources to make public education work from K to 12. We provide the teachers, the research resources, the support systems.
My own university right now is actively engaged with kids from the inner city—six, seven, and eight years old. We are beginning to teach them science and environmental management, because that's a targeted need. We want to provide two things: first, a skills set that the public school systems are finding difficult to supply; second, an awareness that university and college are possible. Those are the two things we can do. If we stay in the silos—K to 12 here, colleges and universities there—it's not going to be a success.
