The US board of education says 1/3 of Americans live life at a 6th grade level. It’s truly just a coincidence that they all ended up in the republicans party.
Well just fly over Canada instead.
Canadians only hate the dirty rural maga apes from the red taker states.
They love us here in blue New England.
We Yanks and Canadians have been playing hockey against each other for a long time.
They know we ain’t maga apes!
Each state and district does have standards and still there are millions with 5th grade reading level and like the OP questions may not know the alphabet.
I'm struggling to see how national standards would correct those issues.
I mostly blame parents who do not value education.
partially true but majority Americans are working to survive. The rent, utilities, groceries costs, stagnant wages. Why do you think there are such a low voter turnout?
Developmental psychologist Piaget speculated that only 30% of people in the world achieve a stage he called ‘formal operations’. This is the stage where one is able to make rational decisions. If I am incorrect, please correct me
I am not sure about the percentage, but I am sure that not everybody achieves this stage. On the other hand, there are newer theories on cognitive development, so I would not take what Piaget said as a final statement...
For 30 yrs higher ed has pushed to roll back or cut humanities/liberal arts & pushed the economic policies of KOCH & other conservative voices to the point that Americans think learning Civics or History is a waste of time.
I think I get your point, although reciting the alphabet is not all that helpful for reading. It does help for looking for things that are in alphabetical order though.
D E and I are out & J is out because it is too similar to 'gay', and K for the same reason. Although allowed for niche uses of a repetitive nature. & There are 14 Qs for some reason, X is the first letter, Y is out, because no one is allowed to ask questions. I don't even know the alphabet anymore.
Everything you write is made of letters. M is a letter, A is a letter, R is a letter, C is a letter, E is a letter, L is a letter. Together, they spell out your first name... Do you use symbols? Don't tell us our alphabet is a hoax.
American guy voice: "why would I need to know any of those other wokr DEI letters when the only ones that matter are U.S. and A. Baby?? Yeaaaahhghghhhg-"*eagle scream is interrupted as he crashes his truck into a lamppost*
Or write cursive legibly.
Or identify one country south of Mexico.
Or point out the Carolinas, much less France, on a map.
Or name one country in the E.U. or NATO.
Or have ever seen a live theatre production
Or could identify Macron, Trudeau or Starmer in a photo.
Well, so far I've heard from residents of both North and South, both of whom feel strongly that they live in the better state. Maybe I should have said the Dakotas....
Don't be uncertain. They can't.

I started school being able to tell the time. My grandparents were ordinary people from modest working class backgrounds, but they and my parents believed education started at home.
At 15, I returned the favour, helping Gran learn the new decimal currency that Britain adopted in 1971
after being inundated in all this horseshit, I legit needed to take a minute after reading this to recite it in my head. (I did remember the whole thing easy)

Just ask Education nominee best known as a WWE performer Linda McMahon and Ron The Book Banner DeSantis.
The only letters that are important are U, S and A!

Q, W, E, R, T, Y,
U, I, O, P, A, S, D,
F, G, H, J, K, L, Z,
X, C, V, B, N, and M.
Now they know their QWERTYUs.
Next time we will do it with them.

Either they are dumb, lazy, or both.
Not all Americans are stupid.
But it is true that the average conservative christian is an ignorant, often illiterate, ape.

I won't tell you how many attempts that took.
I grew up amongst them
THEN they can also do it backwards while
DRUNK
Realized it when all the filing in the office became so disorganized and out of alphabetical order.
It’s scary.
A is for Autocracy
B is for Bonesaw
C is for Conspiracy
D is for Disinformation
E is for Election, F is for Fraud
G is for Grift
Etc, etc.
*false outrage* Those numbers are Arabic! They're a heathen propaganda and support Sharia Law!!
Of those, 62% believe that the last A in MAGA is a different letter than the first A.
😂😂😂😂
As long as they're in there somewhere.....
True story.
D, E, and I? Bad.
L, G, B, Q? Really bad.
T? So bad that it doesn’t exist.
The fact that I just typed it is not proof of its existence!
(Got nothing for Q. I'm not a member of the Continuum.)
(And the h and l are still in the correct places)

1/5 of Americans are illiterate.
It makes sense now, right?
C like Canada
P like Panama
I got it right, didn’t I?

Gave cashier $10 and 11 cents for $9.11 total to get one dollar back and it was beyond him.
Couldn’t figure it out even using cell phone.
He yelled at me for using change and messing it up and couldn’t wait for 47 to get rid of pennies and all change except quarters.
