Only 12 percent of black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared with 38 percent of white boys,

38% is nothing to write home about either.

That's what happens when you have to dumb down the curriculum so everyone can have a better chance to perform equally.

Last year in Manning,SC 84% of all incoming 1st grade students were not ready for 2nd grade. This year, over 44% of the incoming 2nd grade class was reading on what’s called a Pre-Primer level (below or right at Kindergarten).
