Question

Reread lines 67–78. How does Tough think OneGoal might be improved? Support your answer with explicit textual evidence.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tough thinks that OneGoal needs improvement as only 66% of the students remain enrolled in the college after graduating from high school.

Explanation:

The given text is taken from the book entitled ' How  Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character' written by Paul Tough. The book is based on Tough's research on OneGoal Program. OneGoal is a program that works to encourage students for postsecondary education.

In the article titled 'Kewauna’s  Ambition' taken from his book, Tough says that OneGoal needs improvement. He asserts this based on the statistics that only 66% of the students remain enrolled in the college after graduating from high school. He asserts that even Jeff Nelson, CEO of OneGoal, would agree that the program is way beyond perfect solution at present.

Textual Evidence:

'Jeff Nelson would be the first to admit that what he has created is far from a perfect solution for the widespread dysfunction of the country’s human-capital pipeline.'
