Premise: success in the middle and upper ranks of the work force depend
on
print literacy.

Is this really the case - or do the middle and upper ranks communicate
verbally while the underlings read the reports and write the position
papers? 

In any case, given how quickly life and learning are changing I'd be
reluctant to base teaching methods and curriculum on current workplace
practices. The problem is how best to prepare students for a lifetime of
learning across a number of career and lifestyle choices.
