How is it possible that roughly 50% of Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and how are 21% just flat out illiterate?
Question above is pretty blunt but was doing a study for a college course and came across that stat. How is that possible? My high school sucked but I was well equipped even with that sub standard level of education for college. Obviously income is a thing but to think 1 out of 5 American adults is categorized as illiterate is…astounding. Now poor media literacy I get, but not this. Edit: this was from a department of education report from 2022. Just incase people are curious where that comes from. It does also specify as literate in English so maybe not as grim as I thought.

Okay I was actually able to follow that, you did a much better job of keeping one faint shred of coherent thought in there (barely).
Unfortunately that thought was you either being a troll or a dumbass (my money’s on troll). Either way, I’m out chief, enjoy the rest of your day.
Yeah enjoy your monocultural illiteracy. Keep farming
Lmao you clearly don’t even understand what that term means.
The term term is a term you never specified . In terms of clarity you’re the joke.
