It seems the writer and the editor probably 'graduated' from NYC?
I wonder how do you "un-learn" how to read or do maths?
BTW, scot, have you lost your glasses? |

Keyboarding is not Scot's strong suit.
These students skated through the schools without bothering to actually learn anything. That says a great deal about the US school systems, especially in inner city areas.

It's true all over the US.
Almost all community colleges now have a "Developmental Studies section" (or a like program under another name) which is made up of strictly "remedial" courses.
