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.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Wait are you actually saying what you’ve typed doesn’t make sense in any language? I’m so confused.
- [ ] Not so fast. My colloquial digression from the subject of worldwide illiteracy followed your assumption that Québec educational policy was making anglophones illiterates which I do not agree with just so you could further your quite succinct crass political agenda to National governmental affairs in your next comment (Bill 96).
- [ ] You cannot read between the lines because your biased intercultural approach is monolithic and exclusive.
- [ ] I am exasperated by your sarcastic bullshit. So fuck off you bloody cunt!
I swear to god I keep trying my damn hardest to understand the words that come out of your mouth but it just keeps sounding like you’re using a synonym generator like a 15 year old who just discovered the right click menu in microsoft word 2016 and thinks his homework sounds so sophisticated but it’s just a big ol’ word salad with absolutely no resemblance to a coherent point anywhere.
Well The Fuck. Keep believing in your "fairy tales" and swear by it all of your devoted lifetime if you like... ...Not too soon enough your tower of babel is showing untold signs of weakness from your troubled mind through your poisonous twisted tongue. Irrationality is your forte I can see.
Linux is my shepherd, I shall not want.
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.
