Some of the most important statistics from the National Institute for Literacy, National Center for Adult Literacy, The Literacy Company, and U.S. Census Bureau underscore the critical need to address illiteracy in the United States:
As of 2019, 45 million Americans are functionally illiterate and cannot read above a fifth-grade level
50% of adults cannot read a book written at an eighth-grade level
57% of students failed the California Standards Test in English
1/3 of fourth-graders reach the proficient reading level
25% of students in California school systems are able to perform basic reading skills
85% of juvenile offenders have problems reading
3 out of 5 people in American prisons can’t read
3 out of 4 people on welfare can’t read

Basically the only thing I got graded down on was the writing portion because I didnt use conventions and didn't format. basically just wrote a bunch of nonsense. They provide all the cowtools you need with the math section and the reading is obvious if you are literate in the English language. I may have gotten one answer wrong on the reading or math section and the rest of the errors were in writing which has now been folded into the reading section

Yeah it honestly irks me. Like anytime their child demands some attention they'll just shove an ipad in their face. tbh I consider it child abuse but I know nobody's gonna do anything about it bc they'd have to punish like half of all parents these days.
It's like fatties. There's so fricking many of them now that you can't actually enact any policies to address it because too many fatties are gonna vote against it.

One of the biggest bellends I have ever seen was some soy-looking c*nt staying at a hotel in Spain with his wife and two boys < 5 years old.
We'd be in the restaurant for dinner, us with our daughter who was about 3 at the time. She'd be curious and excited and engaged in all the new sights and sounds and food, etc. Having a nice family holiday with us.
His kids would be fricking glued to an ipad each watching peppa fricking pig drooling yoghurt down their bibs while he and his wife completely ignored them. They were older than our child and not visibly special needs.
I can remember his face to do this day because it is seared into my brain with hatred.
Don't have kids if you're going to stick an ipad in front of their faces at every opportunity they have to learn or be social
