Abstract

These two short articles on improving the work force discuss the problem from different stances: David Kearns, the chairman of Xerox Corp., believes that improving schools should be the nation’s first priority. Amitai Etzioni, director of the Center for Policy Research at George Washington University, finds that many families hinder their children’s education.
