>Test scores from NAEP, short for the National Assessment of Educational Progress, released this year show that 33 percent of eighth graders are reading at a level that is “below basic”—meaning that they struggle to follow the order of events in a passage or to even summarize its main idea.
>That is the highest share of students unable to meaningfully read since 1992.

Zoomers are the most illiterate generation in decades. They have the worst reading ability, pronunciation and reading comprehension in decades. Many that can technically read do not understand what they have read and are unable to explain it to another person. They struggle with anything abstract. They also have difficulty understanding signs and symbols. They have abnormally high rates of depression, anxiety and suicide. Gen Alpha is in a much worse state.

I'm going to spoil the truth for you all: it's actually niggers. I'm not being edgy either, look up what the MINIMUM IQ score requirement for the US Army was before the Vietnam war and then look up the IQ distribution scores for niggers.

Remember the US Army isn't even intellectually challenging. They LITERALLY have "do not eat" stickers on C4.

Isn't this just an inverse whiteness measure?

The reality is much much worse than you can even imagine. You know how whites are becoming a minority? see >>106889699

AI will actually be used go heavily censor all of this information...

why should I care about this? Serious question.
what will functionally change if 30, 50, or even 70% of americans are illiterate? Most jobs don't require people to be literate at any sort of high level and, as has always been the case, those that care about their future will make the effort to become educated and advance their lot in life.

"oral tradition" hearsay drilled from childhood will never be challenged if nobody could read

Literacy has little to no bearing on one's quality of life, there are other more important factors.

American schools are just prison practice.

>Literacy has little to no bearing on one's quality of life
Can you cite a study?

Gatekeeping is good, the idea that we should teach everyone X like X is something useful is absurd. Let the people who want to learn X learn it and increase the value of learning X not so that a bunch of retards who never wanted anything to do with X in the first place can leech off it, no, they can make Y.
There is far too much spam generated all because billions are spent teaching retards to read and write.

>>106889340 (OP)
AI will not do anything for most kids. The AI teachers or tutors or whatever you want to call it will be a great resource for already bright kids that know how to use it to help them learn things faster and easier than they were before. Everyone else will just cheat on their assignments like they're doing now with ChatGPT. Eventually the education and intelligence gap will widen and it will become more polarized than ever, with you either being part of the striver upper class using AI to help you learn, or be part of the lower class watching hours and hours of AI slop reels and learning nothing in school while the AI cheats for you. There's a reason all these tech billionaires don't let their kids have social media and send their kids to schools that don't teach with electronics like chromebooks and ipads.

Our society is structured in a way that makes it nearly impossible to survive if you aren't literate, and if 70% of Americans become illiterate, they aren't going to just die laying down, they're going to kill you and take your things.

Most of the white kids I see are barely literate as well and don't know classics like to Kill a Mockingbird, 1984 and Catcher in the Rye. You don't have to create a retarded /pol/-tier conspiracy theory to explain why iPad kids don't and won't read.

I don't believe you. I literally said out loud about how US government is turning into Minilove and Minitrue in from of a bunch of undergrad students in my computer science program and they all gave me this blank look. I had to explain that that was from 1984 and one of the Ministries of Airstrip One that was a parody of Soviet era government agencies that state their job is to do something but they do the exact opposite. Mind you, there were only 2-3 brown people in the crowd of about 30 there.

If these kids can't even pick up on very basic things they should've read in high school, there's no way they're discussing a book about the hollowness of growing up in modern society. Just because someone's white doesn't make them smart. If that were the case, white people wouldn't have been tricked by Jews, even according to your retarded worldview.

Thank you.

I half lost a battle with my wife about this one being included in the home school curriculum. I got 1984 and brave new world inserted as a compromise, but would have preferred to kill a mockingbird pulled entirely.

>>106894518
Good for you I guess, but I don't have the same experience. The only smart students in the CS program is a gaggle of a couple white guys, a Nigerian-American guy, a Vietnamese kid, a Colombian exchange student and a native born Hispanic kid. They're all friends too, which makes sense since smart people tend to hang out with each other IRL.

The fact that despite the CS program at my school being like 80% white, they're still stripping it down for the lowest common denominator is proof enough that there's something wrong with Americans and American children post-COVID and it's hardly a race issue, no matter how much a bunch of alt-right wannabe spin doctors want to spin it.

I just don't think pretending white or black or brown or yellow people have magical superpowers is in the best interest of actually fixing the very obviously failing institutions that this country runs on. It really goes for any race: this Old World tribalism isn't helping to actually solve problems and more often than not contributes to them.

It's literally part of the curriculum of English departments all over the US. It's as popular as it has ever been and will ever be (at least for the next couple decades).

>Barely anyone has read 1984, dumb fucking gorilla.
It's one of the first books you read in a high school non-remedial English class (which based off of your language, you didn't attend) along with Fahrenheit 451.

>Also, your analysis is completely retarded.
You can't have a wrong interpretation of a piece of art, especially if you have textual evidence to support it, you stupid fucking faggot.

It's due to the defunding of public schools, of which all amerimutts are sent to. Y'all will say it's the brown man, yet in the same breath vote for conservative politicians that cut public school funding every single year. You did this to yourselves.

>>106896647
The American public schools have been dogshit since the 90s and even earlier.
Also the mixbred/immigrant problem in America has been a problem since 1929 when you refused to take down the Federal Reserve Bank and after 1945 when all the niggers came in, ironically the mexicans mixbreed and breed more than the africans do, must be that muslim-adjancent religion.

>>106896647
Niggers are niggers no matter how much you fund public schools. It's a genetic problem we've been trying to fix with abortion. At some level even niggers themselves begin to realize this which is why most have no problem with abortion. 90% of the time it's white suburban moms that grew up in sheltered safe spaces away from niggers that are outside abortion clinics protesting, NOT niggers themselves.

It's a hard lesson in life, sometimes no matter what you do, you can't help some people. To help the nigger is to dig your grave.

WRONG, there's a HUGE difference between niggers and actually integratable black people. I'm referring to roughly 50% of humans with negro genes.

I'm not for TND, that's misguided but we do need to face some brutal facts are fire up eugenics again.

BTW you know what's a HUGE and popular form of eugenics right now? Abortion. Yup, look it up.

>>106889340 (OP)
Reading is obsolete. AI already solves all of this. We have TTS and STT technologies already. Face it, booktards. AI is the future.

Why are you all focusing on blacks and not the rapidly increasing hispanic population? Like 80% of real language learning happens before you even step into school. Obviously spiclets that live in households that primarily speak mexican are going to be at an disadvantage.
That isn't to mention that American schools use whole word learning to teach kids to read which is dogshit.

Because at least us spics have a better chance of success due to spaniard genetics. It's not our fault you won't accept and teach picrel.

I'm not bragging but from a eugenics perspective, at least when selecting for native american/spaniard hybrids, you get like a 20% "failure rate" egenically speaking instead of 50% with niggers.

BUT NAH whites are trying to replace us with fucking jeets...

>>106889353
Wouldn't an ipad actually help you learn to read? I think it has more to do with schools refusing to actually teach anything anymore. Like is there even required reading in elementary school anymore? When I was a kid we started reading novels in like grade 3.

But he didn't tell the truth. Schools in the US are some of the best funded in the world. They just don't get very good results. The worst schools tend to be the best funded. Baltimore spends $22,424 per student per year and has some of the worst educational outcomes. It's not about money.

Hi Brian

>>106896647
Public school is just bad, and it's always been bad. Even amongst teachers it's an open secret that its architect John Dewey was a charlatan and crazy. Illiteracy is a function of people reading less. People learned to read when they needed it for work. Now they don't need it for work. You see the same shit with math, languages, physical fitness. No one, not even a child, is going to do anything unless you pay them or make them.

It's a shame that conversations like these always devolve to "Should we give our money to glowniggers or to regular niggers?" How about neither?

>>106900495
Being best funded in the world means jack shit when you're the richest, aka most expensive, country in the world. Teaching is a non-tradable service, the biggest expense is staff which you need to hire local. Japan or European countries or China can pay way less for way better employees.
Im sorry, but until you get poorer "we're spending the most on X" is not a flex, it's the bare minimum.
Compare that to higher education which can be somewhat traded, as people will travel to go to college in a different country. US higher education is great, thankfully retard in charge is working to ruin that too

>>106897631
Aren't those highly qualified ones?
Most of those that I've met fall in that category and are fine.

I've also met some African-American ones, into rap and all that shit. They, no exceptions, all ended up not being trustworthy in short time. Usually doing something so comically retarded that I had to cut all ties.

Does /g/ really not already know that if you break out the US by race, each race outcompetes its original nations
as in asian americans do better on the NAEP than good asia (china, japan, korea), even though there are filipinos and other jungle asians in there
white americans do better than europe
hispanics do better than their native countries, etc.

it's literally 100% just race demographics and every other explanation is desperately evading that harsh truth. US education practices are grotesquely expensive and likely far past the point of diminishing returns but the results are top tier.

Also, in the 50s blacks went to their own schools. Then LBJ told us we need blacks in every school, and don't worry about it, in a few years everyone will be at the same level. Now it's been more than 50 years and every school is worse off from that decision. Now high schools in libtard cities are removing honors classes because there weren't enough black people in them. Eg:

https://reason.com/2023/02/21/to-increase-equity-this-california-high-school-is-eliminating-honors-courses/

>Starting this school year, Culver City High School, a public school in a middle-class suburb of Los Angles, eliminated its honors English classes for ninth- and 10th-graders. Instead, students are only able to enroll in one course called "College Prep" English. The decision, according to school administrators, came after teachers noticed that only a small number of black and Hispanic students were enrolling in Advanced Placement (A.P.) courses.

https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/us-news/silicon-valley-schools-ditch-honors-classes-but-its-a-bad-idea/

>Starting in September, freshmen will no longer have the option of taking a more rigorous Honors Biology class. Instead, the district will have one “foundational” course.

>The Palo Alto Unified School District voted in January to nix the advanced class after an hours-long debate with dozens of concerned members of the public in attendance. Honors English has already been sidelined.

https://sfstandard.com/opinion/2025/06/05/educators-need-to-stop-dumbing-down-public-schools-try-building-them-up-instead/ - this one is a proposal, not yet implemented, to define an A as 80% and D as 21%, which would be a passing score.
