Because these are the leaders of tomorrow - these kids who have no concept of how things relate to one another and no idea how to interpret what they read. Can't wait.
So we can thank the Teachers Unions for this. Had they been more concerned about actually educating students, rather than worrying about their days off and the kids' self-esteem, maybe we wouldn't have all these idiots taking up space in our colleges.Nearing a diploma, most college students cannot handle many complex but common tasks, from understanding credit card offers to comparing the cost per ounce of food.
Those are the sobering findings of a study of literacy on college campuses, the first to target the skills of students as they approach the start of their careers.
More than 50 percent of students at four-year schools and more than 75 percent at two-year colleges lacked the skills to perform complex literacy tasks.
That means they could not interpret a table about exercise and blood pressure, understand the arguments of newspaper editorials, compare credit card offers with different interest rates and annual fees or summarize results of a survey about parental involvement in school.
Because these are the leaders of tomorrow - these kids who have no concept of how things relate to one another and no idea how to interpret what they read. Can't wait.
