NY Students Struggling to read NY Times

The NY Times reports:

"New York State education officials, admitting that the state’s annual tests were not properly measuring student proficiency, released results Wednesday showing that more than half of New York City students were failing to meet state standards in reading, at a time when Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg boasted that more that more than two-thirds of city’s students were reading at grade level."

Come again? How many students? More that more than two thirds? And was that really just one sentence? If New York State tests are written by the same people writing these articles...I can't really blame the students.
