    I read an article that claimed that the NYC community colleges are having to do significant remedial education with incoming students because they can't read on a college level after graduating from NYC schools.

    Clearly NYC's allocation of resources and attention is totes rational.

    Yes, it's approximately 80% of h.s. grads need remedial course work when they go to Community College, not NYU, Columbia, Yale or Harvard. I'm not knocking Community Colleges, I'm mocking NYC high schools.

    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I can believe this.

    Last year I took the NYPD entrance exam with a buddy of mine who used to be a cop for MPD in D.C., and was entertaining the idea of getting back into policing. I figured....ya, sure, I'll go too.

    I honestly....not even joking....thought we were in a Juve life skills/vocational class. When I commented to my buddy, he replied in the affirmative. We were both completely flabbergasted. It spoke volumes about the NYC school system.

    I have a family member who works at a Maryland CC, and can verify that this holds true there as well.

    Judge knocks it down due to the law being arbitrary and capricious.
