Not saying high school education is great, but if there are droves and droves of people showing up at college not able to do math or read, how exactly did they get the necessary points on the ACT or SAT? I mean, what you're saying is that the ACT/SAT are extremely easy tests, so that they can be completed without really knowing math or how to read. Or you're saying that gobs and gobs of people are cheating or using bribes to get the scores they need. Because they can't really read or do math well enough to be passing these tests on their own. I have a little trouble believing anything like that is going on. I think kids are likely passing these tests on their own merit. And are perfectly capable of doing the math and reading on the tests in question.
