• Extra: 'Grade Inflation' and Why American Students Are Falling Behind

  Studies show more students are arriving at college unable to do basic math, forcing even top universities to offer remedial classes. This is alarming to some because it reveals flaws in our education system and raises concerns about whether America’s college graduates will be ready for the workforce. College admissions expert and author Jeff Selingo joins the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal earlier this week to talk about why test scores are falling, an increasing number of students requesting "special accommodations," and what all these trends tell us about our K-12 school system as well as America’s colleges and universities. Selingo also explained why he says technology, legislative changes, “grade inflation,” and other factors have led to what some call an education crisis. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Jeff Selingo.
