Additionally kids are coming back to their HSs from college complaining the work is too hard. They've never really been educated beyond teaching to easy exams. When they are asked to apply knowledge or construct arguments or solve problems they are lost.
Bloomberg has based his mayoralty on Education success. He will do everything to sweep this data and conclusions under the rug. Think of this hypothetical analogy. The FBI and Hoover built their reputation on killing Dillinger. Suppose that wasn't Dillinger walking out of the Biograph that night. What lengths would Hoover have gone to to maintain that Dillinger had been killed by Purvis's agents? That's how far Bloomie will go to maintain the fiction of educational success.
It’s sad when kids come back from college and basically say they’ve been cheated. Well, at least they know it, and when the time comes for them to have children, they’ll probably think twice about where they want their children educated. Unfortunately, they probably won’t have the wherewithal to do much about it. The downward cycle continues.
