David CO Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I didn't know that technology skills are now a component used to determine the literacy rate. If that is true, I am not surprised that the literacy rate has fallen. There are many old-timers like myself who were once considered to be well educated/literate, but haven't kept up with the new technologies. Unless we are talking about bird imitations, I would have no idea how to tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel947 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Considering 33% of Americans have a 4 year college degree, the first link claiming that only 2% have college literary levels is pretty difficult to imagine. Must be a pretty hard test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walk in the woods Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Well, education is a government run monopoly so why be surprised it's ineffective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 So I guess we should just accept it and not be concerned? What happened to "do my best"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
