One is the claim that 78% of 8th graders are not "proficient" at reading. Part of the problem here, I believe, is the definition of proficient. I have a hard time believing that 78% of American 8th graders can't read.
Another stat that I am curious about is the claim that 2/3 of new jobs require a college education. Unless I am reading this incorrectly, the majority of jobs are in the service industry and do not require anything beyond high school...
Both of these are outright lies, and Gates and his ilk know it.
They see education as another racket, just like computer software.
What is so funny as this "genius" never even made through Harvard; he dropped out, yet he is going to tell everybody else what they need to do for those the majority of jobs in the 21st century requiring a college degree.
If Gates were educated, he would know 2/3 of ALL jobs being created require NO education at ALL beyond high school.
I think he does know it, but he has an agenda.
