AMERICA'S high schools are producing millions of failures - ill-educated teens with little prospect of success in the snowballing high-tech "information age" - former Gov. Bob Wise warns in a disturbing new book.... As president of the Alliance for Excellent Education in Washington, Wise has written Raising the Grade: How High School Reform Can Save Our Youth and Our Nation. The book says the multitude of dropouts and semiliterate graduates not only will suffer themselves, but they also will drag down America's economy.
