Preposterous, but...

Today, I learned that the recurrent twenty five percent more or less of middle and high school students tested and scoring below basic for reading and math skills now demonstrate a basic or higher level of competence.

Now, where are the jobs and pay scale reasonably expected by academically successful students.

I am assured that many slightly higher than minimal wage jobs exist.  I am so delighted to hear such good news.  Also, note that what business people really want is a large pool of workers that lowers the cost of employment.

The crazy bottom line for the above crazy scenario is that we might one day have millions of average or better educated people with poor job prospects.

I guess crackers taste the same whatever street corner you are sitting on. 

Get a good education anyway.
