That is no longer the case.
But they can TEXT.
That high? Is she sure?
I bet none of them were home-schooled.
I don’t what to ask what level 7th graders read at.
Pretty soon, reading at the seventh grade level will be: "See the cat. The cat is small."
And college students will be expected to read things like: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
And a good many college students will read "at the college level" -- and everyone will cheer the teachers unions.
When our [homeschooled] daughter was 8 she was reading to her cousins (16 and 14) and having to tell them what some of the words meant.
What makes that more interesting is the the 14 yo cousin was considered by the other adults in the immediate family to be a very good student. That was repeated often. But neither of them was reading at anything close to the level our kid was. And no one but my wife and I made the connection that her cousins were getting completely crap educations. Now 22 years later, the cousins have bombed (beyond belief) in life and still no one has ever connected the dots.
So? Boner reads at a kindergarten level.
They can read that high a level, hunh?
I believe it. I work at a financial firm with a number of college graduates and to read some of their e-mails and text messages it makes me wonder if they really went to college.
Twenty years ago, the chairman of the board of a large company I worked for was always telling the in-house headhunter to IGNORE college degrees and to find executives who had been successful at other companies doing similar jobs.
I can only imagine what he’s looking for today.
Most college student go into deep debt just to learn what they should have learned in high school plus some leftist propaganda (with some debauchery thrown in).
We need fewer people going to college not more. And better precollege education.
Maybe true for some disciplines but since the 1960’s it has been more a function of mom and dad’s money and getting a C average.
And Obama wants free community college. Just keep a 2.5 GPA. Would that be on the 7 grade curve.? We are so helically threaded.
Next...next...wait for it....We are not spending enough money on education!! So, there must be a new government program to “invest” more money in indoctrination...errr.... education.
Makes you wonder at what level seventh-graders read.
Sadly, they vote at an elementary school level too.
Sadly, Sherlock appears to remain in a state of unrelieved constipation.
Well, that's a relief. I thought it was even worse than that.
Seventh grade? I’d think for Arkansas that’s ahead of the curve...
Can they read cursive?
