The Interplay Between School and College

Pedablogue has a blurb about the Chronicle of Higher Education publishing soon an article called The Interplay Between School and College. An excerpt:
The issue will include articles that explore how much or how little cooperation there is between schools and colleges; why colleges think schools are failing -- and vice versa; whether schools and colleges are meeting the needs of businesses and society; what state governments are doing to coordinate reform efforts to improve the preparation of college students; and whether education schools part of the answer or part of the problem.

I thought this was timely and interesting since I heard (can't remember where, sorry if it was YOU who told me this) about some movement to build a private high school near Elon to be called "Elon School". This sounds like just the sorts of interplay issues such a partnership would be able to study.
