Obligatory I didn’t read the article.
It’s obviously T9 Word’s fault. All these kids out here texting with T9 word, can’t expect anyone to be spelling when they can T9 their way through life.
Okay, somebody tell me what I’m reading here…
I guess we’re just creating more Boomers now. Boomers 2: Illiterate Boogaloo
One wonders if some states are more affected than others
I couldn’t read the OP paywalled article but other similar articles mostly cite students from low-income families struggle the most. My guess is there are now more kids living in low-income families than before, and declining literacy rates is just a byproduct of growing wealth inequality.
As I recall, over half of all American children live in homes with a household income below living wage.
Literalicy? Ain’t nobody got time for dat.
I’m not illiterate, I know who my parents are!
