“When they graduated from city high schools, students in a special remedial program at the Borough of Manhattan Community College couldn’t make the grade.  They had to re-learn basic skills — reading, writing and math — first before they could begin college courses.  They are part of a disturbing statistic.  Officials told CBS 2′s Kramer that nearly 80 percent of those who graduate from city high schools arrived at City University’s community college system without having mastered the skills to do college-level work.”
