Did he drive?
Run out of gas often?
If he can understand this...
E=0% first tick=25% second 50% and F=100%

I assume he doesn’t understand a simple fuel gauge and yes he drove. I guess he knew E is bad and F is good.
He blamed it on being an 8th grade drop out.
I’m an 8th grade dropout but I could also multiply and divide fractions and decimals in the FOURTH GRADE. I have two years of welding, 4 years of mechanical engineering, plus I’m a gunsmith in my spare time and I like building custom AKs.
He wasn’t retarded, just never did anything with himself
Its the dumbing down of our next generation.
Yup, I guarantee you there is not a single child, aside from those with real learning disabilities, whose parent cares about their child learning to read, and by care I don’t mean theoretically care, I mean care as defined by willing to act to make it happen, that cannot read by 4th or 5th grade.
Children are really good at learning languages.
Elsie, what does your post have to do with Arthurus’ point?
This is a discussion about reading and has nothing to do with Mormonism.
Interesting facts. Thanks.
Sometime ago it got to where even I could not read it, so printing has been my game for decades.
I do scrawl something on paper where a signature is needed.
(Didja ever notice they also want your name PRINTED as well?)
This 'discussion' contained a reply with the word HIEROGLYPHICS in it and I responded to that.
MormonISM depends a LOT on old Egyptian pictures to derive some of it's doctrine.
At least I haven't entered the fray going on over HERE!

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh. | "The spirit of the four elements (according to Champollion), or rather of the four winds, or the four cardinal points; the soul of the terrestrial world. This god is always represented with four rams' heads, and his image has certainly been altered here. — They have also evidently made a very clumsy attempt at copying the double human head of the god figured above, fig. 2, instead of the four rams' heads. The word Jah-oh-eh has nothing Egyptian in it; it resembles the Hebrew word [redacted] badly transcribed." (emphasis in original) The name hieroglyph above the central figure is Chnm-Re, the Egyptian "First Creator" god who organized everything out of the primordial chaos. |
Or mighty darned SCARY!!
And yet it used to happen all the time.
Back in the 1800s a lot of parents could not read or write. Many could not speak good English. And school was only eight to twelve weeks a year. Yet some how those teachers managed to teach kids how to do the basics.
Curious isn't it.
There were more people who were illiterate then but America has been a literate place for a long time. By the late 19th century there weren’t that many illiterate adults. I’ve read literacy was 80- 90% . Reading was a top recreation and children grew up in a literate environment.
By background work I mean teaching children of the importance of learning. That means reading to them and having them learn numbers and memorize songs. A century ago mothers taught children to memorize prayers and Bible verses from a young age. By the time they went to school they were ready to learn.
It seems like it should be obvious but it isn’t. Ghetto style child rearing has become generally common. Ghetto children are deprived. Parents interact with them much less than is good for learning.
It’s a movie clip about a hitman. What does he say?
That’s strange, as it should be a snippet from West Side Story
“He’s depraved on account that he’s deprived!”
“Gee Officer Krupke”
The parents need to take their children OUT of Public school.
