Detroit public schools: 93% can't read, 96% can't do math, but 100% will be allowed to vote
2015-11-15
h/t Gates of Vienna
...CNS News reports that in the Detroit public school district, an astounding 96 percent of eighth grade students are not proficient in math, while an equally eye-popping 93 percent are not at all proficient in reading; the latter has major employment implications as well. These are the results of the 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress tests published by the Department of Education's National Center for Educational Statistics.
I thought 110% voted in Detroit?

#7  I haz new curriculum for you guys! Let's do a serious lunch and talk, where? Anywhere, Pariis Rome is nice this time of year, your spouse or SO can fly with us for $2.42 which is legit depreciation over the course of 10 million ton/hours. Hotel is a triple suite, so no additional expense there and of course you can eat with us, unless you don't want to, in which case I can recommend many 4 and 5 star eateries. Oh noes! Your wife can't come? Humm, I see, yes, we've all been in that situation, are you familiar with the term la bella vita? Good. See you there.
