    Astounding!

    A Fifth of American Adults Can’t Read
    48 million adults in the U.S. read at or below the third-grade level. Some educators think it’s not possible to teach them. They’re wrong.

    This issue has so many layers to it, none of which will be solved by another “government program”, or “more government funding”.

    We are now reaping the fruits of two generations of kids raised in a high percentage of single-parent households. The bulk of these kids were raised by TV, and even worse now, the internet. Further, failing schools have responded by lowering their standards (relax, I’m not blaming all teachers - just the unions and school boards). And to make matters even worse, the schools celebrate mediocrity, for fear of “hurting the children’s feelings” by telling them they are failing.

    English class 40-50 years ago was about nouns & verbs, sentence structure, paragraph breaks, punctuation and just plain COMMUNICATION via the English language. Now kids watch the Romeo & Juliet movie, sit while the teacher reads to them, etc.

    In short, it’s not about money - it’s about standards, parental involvement and the basics.

    Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
