Steve's barkin at test scores NYC children

Here we go again.
New York City children test scores on math and reading are in the 24% range and every bodies got their nickers up in the air.
This is great news if you like to play the blame game.
The way I see it,the educators in NYC got short changed because they didn't know how to cheat on this test.
I'm actually not very upset by the children can't read, most of the adults I see on the boob tube,be it political or just some talking head commentator have a problem with reading comprehension. For that mater it's the same with newspaper opinion writers.
If one listens to the majority of politician and talking heads and opinion writers you can even say the same thing about math (math including logic).
To summarize my thinking, we should make sure the adults can read and understand math before we criticize that Johnny can't read or do math in the fourth grade.

*I don't know how many people who are out of work are poled by the dept of labor but if he same amount of people are asked if they are still looking for work is the same as 4 years ago or even 6 months ago the statistics are very shaky to say the least.
** So many of us quote the constition but it doesn't say way we want it to say.
