This refers to something that's up in LAUSD, where recently they spent over a million dollars in legal struggles to try to fire seven extremely inadequate teachers. I'd guess at least half those teachers had molested (seduced) their students. Maybe even all of them.
Jonathon Hoenig is telling us that only 25% of kids who take the ACT are actually prepared to do college work. We used to prepare kids for college work by the time they were fourteen; why can't we do it now?

I think I need to start up my "education" blog. I'm ready to scream about this stuff. Your children are getting a fifth-grade education while you're paying for twelve (thirteen, if they go to kindergarten, and now Obama wants to cram them into pre-school starting at age 3, so it will be fifteen years) of schooling. Compare this to the kids in Paraguay who are just as well educated at age 11 (the age many of them drop out of school) as ours are at 18.
