@Phalanx3800 I've always excelled at reading. I went to a good private school for kindergarten and 1st grade and was reading at a 3rd grade level by the end of 1st grade, and at a 9th grade level in 5th grade. But just because someone can't read does not mean they are stupid. More often than not, they have a learning disability such as dyslexia that went undetected, and were too embarrassed to tell someone of their problem because they did think they were stupid because they couldn't read.
@001Dixie Just watch Jerry Springer, Maury Pulvich, and Steve Wilkos and that makes a great statement to prove the point' but children today have too many distractions with all the video games, cell phones Ipods and all the knowledge now required to find jobs, but look at all the jobs today that dont pay very well and people get catagorized by the grading system of trivial pursuits within the educational means' it drags everyone down with socialism'

Most Americans are dumb people. I know that's a judgment but I've seen the evidence for many years.
