The solution is for anyone who aspires to study at an elite college to stop texting, log out of the chat room, cancel the Facebook account, and enthusiastically take on a year-long course in British Literature. It's fun to be part of a community of learners who are fascinated by ideas, language and the arts and know how to express themselves with finesse and verve. Setting aside the SAT and ACT, this is a question of one's fundamental readiness to attend college in the first place. Bored with reading and writing? Fine, I say, but don't expect to succeed on entrance exams or in any academic endeavour. You’ve correctly identified the problem.

I cannot get my 15 year old son to read anything but Sports Illustrated. My daughter was the same way until she entered the work world. How can we reverse this trend?
