50% is such a laughably high number, yes. Exactly that.
Spoilers, Robert Maxwell fucked over Canadian schools too. I’m not sure why Canadians believe they’re so separate from the U.S., but you should probably re-examine that belief.
Do you think 50% of americans can’t fucking read well? Because if so you are fucking wrong.
Brother in 2023 54% of adults in the U.S. read below a 6th grade level and 64% of our fourth graders did not read proficiently.
You need to take a step back, because the only one here who’s dead wrong is you.
Bullshit!
Says the man clearly living under a rock. I suggest you do some reading.
Some clown in the 80s decided that learning to read by memorizing what words look like and guessing from context clues was superior to phonics - learning to associate sounds and letters, aka “sounding it out.” It infested some parts of Canada, but I get the impression it was much more widespread and systemic in the states for longer.
I don’t give a fuck, you are wrong if supporting this. Get real.
