How is this even possible..?



"The National Center for Educational Statistics reports that 15 percent of Alabamians are functionally illiterate; however, the Literacy Council of West Alabama estimates that rate at one in four Alabamians. Functional literacy includes basic skills such as reading, writing, technological capabilities, and mathematical computation."

I would have pegged this on Mississippi or Louisiana. But not surprised.

California is the nation's leader in illiteracy.

Might be the case but I don't know because Missouri is obviously the nations leader in shitty mobile links that don't work....

Do I have to hold your hand on everything? Click on "All States".

I think it probably has something to do with how the knees grow down there.

I think we were arguing about whether or not to invade Iraq when that data was published.

Good news, 3 out of 4 residents of Alabama might be literate.

That is a lot better than the people of Chicago...those folks can't even read and comprehend that they are not allowed to have guns.

They are killing each other. Let them have at it.

Since JSO hasn't been posting much I'd like to thank you for filling in.

I was just talking to a buddy who was an AF brat and I asked him the best and worst places he lived growing up. Bama was absolutely the worst. He was in middle school and he said around half of the students could just simply be written off as unteachable by that point. His mom was a teacher too.

I also had a next door neighbor who was a KC 135 pilot and was being sent to Alabama to receive training on how to be an instructor. His family had been there before and the wife described the schools and everything off-base as basically 3rd world.

4 in 4 threads started by Chizstein have at least 1 smug prick posting

3 out of 4 people is a pretty good hit rate as far as Baltimore City is concerned.

Are we still talking about reading?

Football players being shot, a father and his 3 year old son being swept out to sea, and voting for Hillary.

Grew up in Alabama. And, that's completely accurate.

If you can afford it... you put your kids in private school. Some cities like Birmingham have a couple of rich neighborhoods with good schools (Mountain Brook, Homewood).

Montgomery had none. That's where I grew up... and, it sounds like that's where your friend was describing.

Also, the private schools in in Montgomery were started in the years after Brown v. Board... but, I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Brown v. Board (1954)

Saint James School (1955)
Montgomery Academy (1959)
etc.

That explains a lot about your posts.

Did they try to make up for the lack of educational depth and detail by using graphs?

You should be congratulating skelly for rising out of it.
