[Sir Gawain]

Here's April's reply to your post:

I thank you for your response to History of Education. To the best of my knowledge and research my facts are accurate. Your information that you shared perhaps has merit as well. My material did not focus on the illiteracy problem in the south. What I do know is that when I went to school everyone learned to read in the first grade -- it was basic and very easy to accomplish. Today the educational system is broken! In fact it teaches everything but the three R's reading - righting - rithmetic.

I will take that as an admission that I am correct and her claim wrt 100% literacy in colonial America false.

Review the rest of the article's claims with that in mind. Can we say agenda-driven?
