From a NY Times editorial on reading and writing.
A dismaying Carnegie Foundation report entitled “Reading Next” shows that the states have set the reading achievement bar very low so students can be moved from grade to grade - even though about 70 percent enter the first year of high school reading below grade level.
As I am of the “no such thing as bad grammar” school, I’ll be well to only criticize the muddled expression this sentence conveys.
I wonder how could the achievement bar could be set so low to have 70% both above and below.
Fail the schools, or fail the students.
Maybe fail the commissioned studies as well.
