High schools graduating retards who can't read or do math but knows BLM is good and Mean tweets are bad.

So, no more ACT testing.

[Sacajaweau]

I think we’re also getting to the pint where college is not the best thing for everyone. Working your way up the chain may make a comeback....aka...apprentice type situations.

[Jeff Chandler]

Tests are racist.

The organization found more than 4 in 10 high school seniors hit none of the college readiness benchmarks, saying this is “historic highs in 2023.”

I suspect most of the ones that do hit the benchmarks are Asian students.

Edjewcashun be racis! We was Kangz and Quangs and sheeet!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Things like college diplomas seem to lose their meaning when some other poor bass turd who works for a living has to pay for them and Mr. College Student gets them for free.

I took the ACT in the early 80’s. I took no prep course or did any preparation other than getting a good night’s sleep the night before. I wasn’t in the academic elite in my public high school (HATED high school,) and yet, I still scored high enough to earn college credit for English and science.

What is so special about 1991?

I am of the opinion that the student loan program should require a proficiency test be passed prior to the granting of Pell Grants and/or Student loans for college.

To wit-
Read and write at a high school level
Pre-Algebra
High school science
US Government (constitution, laws, rights, three branches)

Just another reason why public schools shouldn’t even exist.

The dumbing of America continues at an alarming rate...

[CodeToad]

For all the “charter schools”, early programs, SAT/ACT courses, etc., and we have far less education going on.

[BuchananBrigadeTrumpFan]

They’re not sending their best! ... and with the dumbing down of the exams, it’s even worse than the headline suggests.

[joshua c]

they know their LGBTQs

arent there any LGBTQ questions on the test?

[Secret Agent Man]

So destruction of ducation has been successful. The happiest barches of self satisfied morons are being pumped out at record high costs.

[glennaro]

How can this be? How can prospective Grievance Studies majors be unprepared? Grievance Studies programs require emotions, anger and a feeling of victimization to earn a degree; intelligence is not a factor.

[Roadrunner383]

40% failed to hit any of the college readiness benchmarks? Just lower the benchmark scores, problem solved (all students will be above average and feel good about themselves).

[gop4lyf]

I score a 28 on mine and my wife swears that I’m retarded.

[Newtoidaho]

If anyone hasn’t seen “Idiocracy”, that movie perfectly captures the current moronic state of the human race.

[Moltke]

Oh the delicious irony on display here! (Seriously, is it just me?)

Students are the least prepared for college than they’ve been in three decades

"...the least....than..." is that piss-poor grammar or not?

"...less...than..." - OK

"..the least...[drop the "than"]" - OK
