That is because they did not have Head Start.

Say no to testing.

That’s okay as long as they don’t drink a 2 liter soda with their pizza.

Remedial reading programs at a college seems a little stupid to me. Remember when you had to be smart to get into college, even a community college?

Liberals wouldn’t think 100% failure meant anything, either.

After all, these are people who support - in the name of peace - a political system that murdered 200 million people in the last 100 years.

Illiteracy isn’t even on their radar screens.

And 80% of teaching efforts go towards keeping these idiots in school so that the schools can generate revenue for their attendance. The whole education effort has been convoluted to this purpose.

From my home page:

Here’s my modest proposal for education reform.

We have been discussing ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda and other idiocies:

What is worse is that many highly educated people don’t understand common sense.

Tons of knowledge, little wisdom.

Sounds like good material for a class action lawsuit.

Cannot read, nor have large sodas and greasy fries.

Good job, gun grabber.

Yes...but the teacher’s unions pensions are in great shape! Ask Randy Weingarten...the la presidente forever...she’s done such a great job.

That’s normal. Eighty percent or more of mainstream media journalists can’t write.

No way. How could this be with No Child Left Behind testing these “graduates” all through their schooling? You aren’t supposed to “pass” unless you are proficient in the skills taught.

What are the demographics of the public schools in NYC?

Think how bad it would have been if teachers were not unionized or if budgets had been cut.

Obviously, the solution is stronger unions and more money!

A friend asked me to tutor her son.

I found out that this high school kid could not read. He could not write. He’d never been exposed to phonics. He didn’t have the slightest clue as to what went into a five paragraph essay.

I needed to start him out in the most basic program to build him up and teach him the correct way to use the most basic English. I wanted to teach him phonics.

He complained to his mother and my friend came to me and told me that I was ‘demeaning’ her son.

So he was not taught.

He had a willing tutor. He had someone who was willing to nug out the hard stuff and get him up to snuff.

But his pride was hurt. That, his mother could not stand.

She pulled him away from me, to protect his ego.

I pray for this young man.

They can’t read but they can for Democrats.
