Most of my friends kids can read at 3rd grade level before entering kindergarten. Everybody in the country has access to the entire knowledge base of all of humanity that emperors and kings throughout history would have scorched the entire earth to obtain Even a fraction of this knowledge contained within. There are free classes for everything. Some cultures take initiative, and others wait for other people to educate them or fix their streets, or save them in a hurricane.
