80 percent of NYC high school grads can’t read well enough for community college

[Dawg]

All told, approximately 11,000 would-be students are required to take remedial courses each year.

That's what happens when you are too busy giving money away for NASA and wars that aren't needed. Who needs education when you can look for life on Mars.
