Almost 20 percent of students pursuing four-year degrees had only basic quantitative skills.

About 30 percent of two-year students had only basic math skills.
I wonder about the other 60%.

Well here's some good news - from [link]http://ipi.org/[/link]:
Quote:
President Bush turned on the federal education spigot in 2001 with his No Child Left Behind Act. In exchange for somewhat tougher academic standards, Bush agreed to billions more in education spending.From 2001 to 2004, federal spending on elementary and secondary education has jumped 68 percent, to $38 billion. Aid to higher education has more than tripled, to $28 billion. average reading score for public school eighth graders fell three points from 2002 to 2005. And the average for fourth graders in public schools was flat.
Gee, looks like America is getting dumber. And I say that with my tin hat just slightly cocked.
