WHEN ONE PLUS ONE EQUALS IGNORANCE, POVERY & DESPAIR

To graduate from a state university in Florida, every student must pass at least two mathematics classes. But thousands of students - more than 20 percent of them - received D's and F's in core math classes in 2007-08, says an analysis by Enlace Florida, a state-supported group that promotes college readiness. When students who withdrew from those classes were added, the number who didn't pass jumped to 37 percent. HERE WE GO AGAIN...excuses for failure and no one around willing to accept responsibility for the poor results.
