Hundreds of N.J. students who can't do simple math are credited with passing calculus, report says Published: Wednesday, September 01, 2010, 12:33 PM Updated: Wednesday, September 01, 2010, 12:42 PM Hundreds of N.J. students who can't do simple math were credited with passing calculus, according to a report on APP.com. According to a Department of Education report, "there were other students, unable ultimately to evidence even simple math skills, who were unimaginably recorded by their schools as succeeding in Algebra II or even Calculus." A report delivered at today's state Board of Education meeting will recommend four new policies to aid students who weren't proficient enough in reading, writing or math to meet state graduation standards. Education in today's America is nothing short of a crime. Most of the leaders of the NEA and teacher's unions, and their confederates in congress should be buried up to their neck in sand, have honey poured on them and have the red ants go at them. And of course, the Democrats never want to investigate these crimes against children, what passes for "education" these days, as they're beholden to the very people who are destroying our nation's children. Notice the complete lack of outrage on behalf of the left (aside from "WE NEED MORE MONEY!!!").

Well, there is a "good news/bad news" component here. The good news? The education establishment will soon probably be getting more money. But the bad news? The money won't be worth the paper it's printed on. But there's more GOOD news: The mis-educated products of the education establishment will - in their ignorance - make PERFECT slaves in the upcoming utopian STATE that Zero is creating.
They don't need any more money. Their are only two counties in the entire world that spend more per student than the U.S. We also spend more on education per capita than most developed countries. What we need is fundamental change in how the education system operates.
