I loved them, man. They paid me to do their homework all year long, only to realize they would still have to repeat the year because I couldn't take their tests for them. And if anyone from a different class picked on me, they would always defend me and even walk me home on account of me being their personal nerd.

It was like having huge, dumb, baseball playing puppies.

I've got one worse. I'm in college (not a community college, by the way) and there are students who struggle to read very basic words like "fruition" or "expedient."

I'm just shocked that they got into college.

I think your expectations are too high, can we just agree to be rational here? literacy is sub-par in England

>> No.858176

>>858170
Sub-par yes. But there is a big difference between having imperfect literacy and being completely unable to read and write to any degree which is what illiteracy actually is.

Functional illiteracy is perhaps what he meant. This is where you can read and write to a basic level but nothing more. Even then 35% is most likely a gross over estimation shat out by a tabloid newspaper.
