Illiteracy shockingly high in L.A.

Half of workers unable to read

Continued immigration and a stubborn high school dropout rate have stymied
efforts to improve literacy in Los Angeles County,
where more than half the working-age population can't read a simple form, a
report released Wednesday found.

Alarmingly, only one in every 10 workers deemed functionally illiterate is
enrolled in literacy classes and half of them drop out
within three weeks, said the study by the United Way of Greater Los Angeles.
...
The study measured levels of literacy across the region using data from the
2000 Census, the U.S. Department of Education and a
survey of literacy programs taken from last September to January.

It classified 3.8 million Los Angeles County residents as "low-literate,"
meaning they could not write a note explaining a billing
error, use a bus schedule or locate an intersection on a street map.

U nas też są tacy, ale nikt tego nie bada.Lepiej się nie wypowiadać, bo będzie
winna szkoła, nie poradnie pedagogiczno psychologiczno, które zalecają
przepuszczanie uczniów bez tej umięjetności do następnej klasy, twierdząc, że
tak musi być, bo to zaniedbanie środowiskowe.
