It’s reported that only about 23% of 2009 high school graduates who took the ACT college-entrance test have the skills to succeed in college. Yet, everyone appears to get into some college or another. It is a harbinger of our future as a second-rate nation.
Most college-bound kids do poorly in math and science. About half flunk reading. About one third flunk English.
Forget about training more doctors so we can treat all the new patients the government wants to cover under ObamaCare. That will mean health coverage with second-rate medicine and medical practice.
Forget about scientists. We can watch them operate efficiently only in Hollywood movies. And other concocted fantasies.
But we can get more of the easy-stuff kind of college graduates. Such as political science whizzes, pesky lawyers and community organizers.
And lots of others with no practical work skills.
