It is the “Cubs Fail to Reach World Series” of news stories. American students are found to be doing poorly at their job which is, of course, learning. Today’s iteration of that story comes from Libby Nelson of Vox who reports:
The high school graduation rate might be at an all-time high, but less than half of American high school seniors are proficient in reading and math, according to new data released by the Education Department on Wednesday.
The story is so familiar that it barely registers, so perhaps it should be reworked and given a slight change of focus so that it isn’t the students who are failing, but the teachers and the educrats. “Recent studies show that the education establishment fails half the people who are compelled to use its services.”
