New York City thinks ‘The Three Little Pigs’ is a book for high schoolers


The New York Post reports:
State officials uncovered astonishing evidence that city high-school diplomas are worthless — a Manhattan classroom of 11th-graders reading “The Three Little Pigs,” The Post has learned.

The report from the state Education Department says the classic children’s fairy tale was just one of several ridiculously easy reading assignments uncovered at Landmark HS this year.

“ ‘The Three Little Pigs’ story was read round-robin style in a grade 11 classroom, which demonstrated limited student access in this class to grade-level text,” according to the department’s Office of Accountability.
Great moments of government schools! If you are against spending more taxpayers on this, the progressives claim you are against "quality education" ! Just a reminder, New York City spends over $20,000 a year per pupil for this kind of illiteracy.
