FLOUR 08/29/21 6:10:21 PM #1:	How come most of them were able to pass high school english? What does it mean to be 6th grade level? Is that what they teach at that age? Or is it where a certain threshold of people at that age understand that material, such as 5%? How many 6th graders actually read at a 6th grade level? Questions to ponder. --- You don't want to play cards with me because I'll cheat. You wanna play 21? I've got 22! <cite>FLOUR posted [p:957556563] in If the ave...

Ratchetrockon 08/29/21 7:12:22 PM #11:	my reading level sucks and I blame it on the fact that I stopped reading after high school for a couple of years when I entered the workforce until just two years ago when I began attending college.

It's meant first to be government-paid day care so that parents can work, then to crush the spirits of children, and then to act as a filtering mechanism by throwing hurdles at them and seeing who gets over them. Anything learned along the way, other than to obey authority, is incidental.

Idk how anyone can stand to be so inept at such a basic thing I can't speak for others but I know sometimes my brain will read ahead of my mouth which causes me to stumble over my words while reading aloud.
