“The good news is we have more students thinking about college than ever before,”

The bad news is, a lot of them have no business being there.

The College Board attributed the lower scores to the growing diversity of test-takers, many of whom are less prepared for college-level work or are learning English as a second language.

The translation from PC-Speak is forbidden to be mentioned.

Reading?

You mean like a book with pages? That thing that makes me ACTIVELY engage my cerebrum?

Nah, I’d rather watch the movie via the tiny screen on my “cool” cell phone.

"many of whom are less prepared for college-level work or are learning English as a second language."

It is my contention is that it is harder for someone with Ebonics (corrupted English) as a first (thought) language to learn English than it is for someone with Spanish as their first language. More especially so if their culture views learning as "too white"...

How’s that possible? Federal spending (and in most states- spending in general) on public schools has gone up drastically in that time period...

We have spent 10s of trillions on War on Poverty and Education in the last 50 years and they are worse than ever.

No problem. Obama will just find another trillion dollars to “for the children”. He probably has it in his couch cushions.
