Why Johnny can't write, and why employers are mad

Why Johnny can't write, and why employers are mad:
"William Ellet, an adjunct professor teaching writing at Brandeis International Business School, says the problem starts even earlier.
He points out that when the Department of Education in 2012 published what it called "The Nation's Report Card: Writing 2011," just 24 percent of eighth and 12th graders were proficient in writing.
From colleges on down, he said, "nobody takes responsibility for writing instruction.""
