he new school superintendent in Camden, N.J., says it was a "kick-in-the-stomach moment" when he learned that only three district high school students who took the SAT in the 2011-12 school year scored as college-ready.
3?
3?
I bet the rest of them know Drake and JayZ and Kanye by heart though.
I suppose the problem is racism. You know, the fault of the 5% white population. Or maybe the fact that these kids don't get to sit in classrooms with white students cause you know, none other than the US Supreme Court has declared that black kids can't do shit unless they are sitting at a desk next to white folks.
I don't doubt poverty played a huge roll in the level of "preparedness", but when ALL your students are unprepared for college, something else entirely is afoot.
