Chairman Bill Gates said that the U.S. higher education system is the envy of the world but primary and secondary schools are failing to adequately (充分地)prepare students for college. In an interview with The Associated Press, Bill Gates said the experience of being a parent of three kids---aged 10, 7 and 4---has led him to spend more time thinking about schools.

Gates, whose children are in private schools, said every state should require students to take three or four years of math and science to graduate from high school---25 states currently have such requirements. He wants states to have the power to improve low-performing schools. Real responsibility means more than having goals; it also means having clear consequences for not meeting the goals. Gates said schools should also be able to pay the best teachers better and offer incentives to attract people with rare abilities. It's astonishing to me to have a system that doesn't allow us to pay more for someone with outstanding abilities, that doesn't allow us to pay more to reward strong performance, he said. That is like saying teacher talent and performance don't matter and that's basically saying students don't matter. He also spoke of some creative school programs---particularly charter schools run by private companies---that should be a model for creation in the nation's schools. Gates will start working full-time in mid-2008 at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which seeks cures for the world's diseases and to improve American education. 56.
