Sure, why not apply it to the kids? The “Maspeth Minimum” has obviously been used as the DOE and educational hiring standard for years now.

If that is so...
The USA should focus the educational system on teaching Chinese.

To appease our new masters.

I can attest to that lowering of standards.

To be a teacher, one must pass the PPST (basically a high school level test for Reading, Writing and Arithmetic).

Many teachers spoke of the difficulty of the test that should have been relatively easy for a high school graduate and child's play for a college graduate.

Scary.
