80 Percent Of Recent NYC High School Graduates Cannot Read

Nearly 80 percent of New York City high school graduates need to relearn basic skills before they can enter the City University’s community college system.

. . .

When they graduated from city high schools, students in a special remedial program at the Borough of Manhattan Community College couldn’t make the grade.

They had to re-learn basic skills — reading, writing and math — first before they could begin college courses.

. . .

...nearly 80 percent of those who graduate from city high schools arrived at City University’s community college system without having mastered the skills to do college-level work.

In sheer numbers it means that nearly 11,000 kids who got diplomas from city high schools needed remedial courses to re-learn the basics.

Maybe they can't read, but I bet they can watch TV.

They're the perfect voters.

 But in a free society how will children be educated?

I kid you not, one time I was discussing the State school system with someone and I mentioned that in Detroit, the State schools produced an adult population with a literacy rate hovering around 50%. The person responded, "Without the State, the literacy rate would be zero."
