RSSMayor Bloomberg’s New York City … 80% of Recent NYC High School Graduates Cannot Read
THE PRIORITIES OF LIBERAL NYC MAYOR BLOOMBERG …
As Mayor Michael Bloomberg focuses on the size of sodas, limits of salt and sugar and the usage of ear buds, a disturbing educational bombshell was dropped … 80% of recent NYC high school graduates cannot read. Read, literacy, who cares about that? Obviously not Bloomberg who is more concerned with the size of beverages than actually providing an proper education to the youth of the city. How bad has the situation got? As reported at the Daily Caller, City University system officials have introduced a program called CUNY Start that provides inexpensive immersion classes for students who managed to graduate high school without mastering basic skills. Unbelievable, a college needs to set up a learning program to deal with the institutional and educational failures of the NYC high schools. I guess that is Bloomberg’s interpretation of no child left behind … just pass them through and let some one else deal with the problem. What are the chances Bloomberg will ask for money to through down the educational rat hole?
Nearly 80 percent of New York City high school graduates need to relearn basic skills before they can enter the City University’s community college system.
The number of kids behind the 8-ball is the highest in years, CBS 2?s Marcia Kramer reported Thursday.
When they graduated from city high schools, students in a special remedial program at the Borough of Manhattan Community College couldn’t make the grade.
They had to re-learn basic skills — reading, writing and math — first before they could begin college courses.
It is a crime what is happening in so many school systems in this country.

So all the signs in NYC warning against cigs,salt,trans fat,32 oz. drinks etc, they can’t read. Love it.
Not to worry… others that can read will get jobs,
create and run productive businesses, and create
wealth which the ‘Government’ will steal thru
confiscatory taxation to re-distribute to those
non-educated ‘graduates’.
When society kills families by allowing young women, who have not been taught values, to have babies out of wedlock this is what we get.
This is not a new thing. Schools all across the country have been dumbing down education, sports and anything else associated with education since the time of the Democrats “Great Society Program of the 1960′s.
The progressive educators of the 20th century have overturned all the previous good methods of educating the youth beginning with the “Look See Method” of learning to read rather than the time proven phonics method. The same for the math with the so called “New Math” that expects six and seven year old children to understand the concepts of algebra prior to learning how to count and do multiplication tables.
Bloomberg is doing his best to produce low information voters.
