December 23, 2009, 4:49 pmIn his review in the Wall Street Journal of my book The Lowering of Higher Education in America, Ben Wildavsky writes:
Perhaps this kind of experience [with illiterate college students] accounts for Mr. Toby’s seeming bitterness toward unserious students, whom he calls ‘unprepared, half-asleep catatonics who drift in late and leave early.’
I don’t think the overall tone of the book is bitter toward college students, even unserious ones. If you read the book, you can judge for yourself.
