"Educated"Blue State NY : 80% high school grads can't read!

[OohPooPahDoo]

Officials told CBS 2′s Kramer that nearly 80 percent of those who graduate from city high schools arrived at City University’s community college system without having mastered the skills to do college-level work

That doesn't mean they can't read.

Can you read?

 

[JakeStarkey]

It isn't money. It's time. When you are allocating the hours in a school day, teaching students to read takes time away from teaching them the important things like the proper method of fisting or how America goes around the world killing innocent babies.

fuck off, katz, if you cannot be adult. Texas cc's have the same problem as NYC's.

The last time I checked how schools were performing, those southern states were dead last in performance, but Texas has seen some recent improvement.

I doubt the average student in Texas is better than the average student in NYC.

Depends "where" in Texas, which has almost three times the population. Some schools in Texas would do very well with the best schools in NYC's public ed system, I would suspect.

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. They had to re-learn basic skills — reading, writing and math — first before they could begin college courses.
In sheer numbers it means that nearly 11,000 kids who got diplomas from city high schools needed remedial courses to re-learn the basics.

A couple of observations: they can't "relearn" what they never learned in the first place, and they don't need to read, they will be told what their opinions are and what to believe by the politicians they pay to tell them.

We are supposed to believe that 11,000 students are 80% of the 60,000 NYC high school graduates.

The Misinformation Voter is too stupid to figure out that the 11,000 number is for the students who couldn't get into better colleges, so they go to a community college to improve their skills and get into a better college that the literate high school grads are already in.

There is something viscerally abhorrent about a culture that does this to its young. These students will enter the world. Not New York, the world unable to compete with students from India, China, Japan, and expensive private schools in Europe. These students will expect that they will be supported by the efforts of others.

We have become Portugal.

But they all feel so good about themselves, so self-confident and brilliant.

Good points! I wrote this topic to "balance" the "Red State Voucher" thread!

But it truly isn't necessary for these grads to read as long as they can sign their entitlement checks!

NYC has a population just slightly over the state of Virginia and I'm sure they pay much more in taxes and get much less federal spending than Virginia does.

Well again... what f..k is problem being smart and use the Internet to keep from GUESSING????
FACTS:
New yorkers after deducting the $2,666 in federal aid per person paid $10,111 in federal taxes or 78%
Virginians.. after deducting the $1,095 in federal aid per person paid $6,042 in taxes or 86%!
Which group got a better deal???
New Yorkers who after deducting Federal aid paid 78% or Virginians who paid after aid 86%???
Hmmm.. Seems like YOUR GUESS was ALL WET!!!

Sources if you take the time to find out rather then do as most of you idiots do...GUESS!!!!
FACTS!
Federal Aid to State and Local Governments - The 2012 Statistical Abstract - U.S. Census Bureau
Table 433. Federal Aid to State and Local Governments by State: 2000 to 2009
"Table 1. Annual Estimates of the Population for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico:
April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2012"
Population Estimates - People and Households - U.S. Census Bureau
Federal tax revenue by state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I get so tired of idiots like you spouting off stupid guesses when all you need to do is get your FACTS STRAIGHT!!!

Goodness, here's money we could definitely cut from the federal budget. It's a total waste of my tax dollars to throw good money after bad.

New York is screwed up in so many ways,its hard to keep track.

They put a 2 % cap on school taxes but still mandate many things that are not properly funded any more.

With that said the cap is a absolute necessity,you can't keep hitting land owners with double digit increases year after year.

Totally lost in the Natural Gas potential,and no resolution in sight purposefully.


The gun debacle is starting to back fire on the clowns in Albany.

It goes on and on

There really is no difference in the Colleges/Universities. Most of the graduates cannot write either.

My guess would be 60,000 is too low.

These students will expect (and probably get) the same kind of social promotion and grade inflation they got all through school. Instead of books, they will get lectures that they won't attend but will be able to buy a recording from someone who set up a recording device.

Our educational system is designed to not only fail to educate, but prevent education.

Yea, NYC doesn't have the market cornered on third world education. You're right, it's all designed to keep the people subserviant to the military state. That's why we imported the Prussian model here to begin with. Obedient workers, soldiers and citizens who won't question authority nor have the intellect to (explains the popularity of FAUX News too.........)

Look at the people who commented on this thread and wrote it! What makes you think you people aren't screwed up? It isn't hard to get figures to prove a case, but you clowns live in states that the people from New York pay for. They pay for your worthless asses and you are always running your mouths about them being on the government dole? Can't you see the disconnect from reality you people live?

Your post, actually, proves the opposite, and it condemns you.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Complaining about kids not being able to read while not understanding the article posted is the height of irony. Reading the title makes you think 8 out of 10 kids graduated can't read...until you read the article and realize it's bullshit

wehrwolfen is not concerned with accuracy only ideology.

That's a far cry from "can't read" as your title claims, but yes, the New York City public school system is one of the most expensive, while also being one of the worst performing school districts in the nation. I have posted threads on this before, but apparently New Yorkers are perfectly pleased with turning out stupid, uneducated kids and paying out their asses for it because they keep electing the same people to run it.

Great Pub idea to cut hundreds of thousands MORE teachers while protecting the corrupt loopholes of the bloated rich...All the problems have more to do with the worst rich/poor gap and upward mobility EVER after 30 years of voodoo.

And yes blue states like NY, Cal. NJ, and Ill. get about .80 of their tax dollars back from the feds while "macho" red states get $1.30...and we don't pay enough (especially the rich (17%) and corporations (12%) to get the services and infrastructure we need.

Just watched NBC News- our weather forecasting sucks in comparison to EU's because we haven't invested enough since the 80's- gee, wonder why? DUH. Like everything else, going to Hell thanks to the greedy idiot GOP.

 

[Unkotare]

Do you EVER post ANYTHING that isn't hyper-partisan bullshit, you idiot?

 

[hunarcy]

The article says they remedial students had to "relearn" reading in remedial courses. If that were true, we'd have to believe that they COULD read at one time, but lost the ability. How does that happen?

Most likely is that they couldn't really read in the first place and the poster was accurate in his title.

STFU, Pubtroll, LOL. Ever say anything factual or relevant? Dumbazz. End of communication, shyttehead.
