My knowledge on this topic is limited. Certainly, the inability to read and write with some level of competence is a problem indeed.
Because I am so skeptical of governments in action, I wonder, just wonder, if the compulsory education monopoly that has been given to the local government units across the United States has anything to do with this outcome?
I would posit that is has.
I attended catholic school for the first 9 years of my life. When I moved to a public high school, I was just about ready to graduate from that school.
It was alas, a 3 year vacation of sorts (no advance placment classes and the like).
I was NOT better off for it!
Just one man's opinion.
