The Continuing Failure of the Tax-Supported School System

Officials: Most NYC High School Grads Need Remedial Help Before Entering CUNY Community Colleges

Nearly 80 percent of New York City high school graduates need to relearn basic skills before they can enter the City University’s community college system.

The above quote sums up the problem. Tax-supported education is failing the very people is was created to help. Despite the bleating of the Teachers Unions, a system that fail eight out of ten times is not generating a net benefit. It is a disastrous drag on the culture.

When future historians write about the history of 20th and Early 21st Century America, the tax-supported education system will likely be recorded as the single greatest mistake we made. That is if that horribly dysfunctional educational system we created leaves us a future that can afford the luxury of historians.
