I was also hit with a report on the failures of our educational system in Alabama. It is currently estimated that 25% of Alabamans are functionally illterate, despite the mandate that all Alabamans attend school. Before you point fingers, this report didn’t come from a yankee think tank aimed at defaming Alabama, but rather from the Education School at the University of Alabama itself. (read it here, if you like — http://www.uab.edu/backsoon.html). So we have it, folks. I concur that public education in the U.S. is in turmoil. However, I usually wouldn’t hire a tee-toadler to manage a liquor store.
(Oh, and by the way, Ms. DeVos has never taken out a student loan, and admits total personal ignorance on the Trillion dollar problem with student loans in America.)
