The state of New York recently passed a law requiring government school teachers to take a literacy test, but repealed it the following year because 36 percent of white teachers failed the test on the first try, while 54 percent of Hispanic teachers and 59 percent of black teachers failed.

In other words the State of New York is knowingly putting a large number of illiterate teachers in classrooms.

Nothing will change until that changes.

Then, they must not be qualified and shouldn’t be teaching!
