Your estimation is not far from the truth. My eldest daughter is a seventh grade teacher in the Chicago area. Each year, they are tested by the district they work in on the particular subject they are required to teach to their respective students. Over 50% cannot pass their first attempt on these examinations. While not being a scientific study I grant you, this never the less goes to show that yesterdays students become today's teachers who still are not grounded in a basic education.

I have completed about a third of the coursework for a Masters in Education...and then I realized, I wouldn’t fit well with the liberals in charge.
