I meant straight up can't read or write. Full on 100%. Being able to read and write in a functional but low capacity isn't the same as being illiterate. I don't see a problem with being a functional reader if it does not impair someone's life. Technically, you only need to learn enough to...

That's human nature. You never worked with an older person that couldn't keep their head straight? I've worked with more older people that could not read or write more than young people.

My boss gets mad but he's an asshole.

That's probably about right, Geneva was a teacher, maybe she will chime in? I know down here they don't have much of the summer off. Measuring performance, the police are similar to teachers in terms of measuring performance but we can use doctors. Would a doctor that diagnosis more problems...

No. That is instructional days, not working days. Here is some insight https://www.weareteachers.com/teacher-overtime/

Here's another hypothetical, measuring police performance. Is a cop better if they arrest more people or are they better if they arrest less people? Is the cop who patrols the hood where crime is high worse than the one who gets the low crime affluent area? Technically, the guy in the hood is...

I hear you and agree that it is a major issue. I just don't think the problem lies solely on teachers or the schools. Kids learn reading early so I would bet you my lunch money that the parents of many of these struggling kids did not read or do any sort of educational things with their...

or go in photoshop, throw a bunch of filters on every single element and watch your customer's eyes light up with excitement. One man's trash is another man's treasure or so they say. If all else fails, put it on a diamond plate background.

You have to give them what they want. He did say I don't mean to offend you so all is good.

Make sure your color settings are correct when you export the file. I have some RGB files that will print wonky if I send them as native. I always use pdf but every now and then run into ones that wont work unless they get sent as an EPS. They are few and far between though.

Again, how is someone screwing up at work a fault of the school system? I got through school fine, my wife got through school, sounds like you did and most everyone else on here. I just don't see this issue when the majority of people in society are educated and functional. At some point, you...

^^^ I don't tolerate that kind of stuff as much as I used to. As an adult, your problems are yours, not anyone else's. If they can't figure it out then they need to work for themselves, find a better fitting career or get therapy to learn how to manage their shortcomings. The flipside of...

Sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad. I don't bust people's chops for being a few minutes late but I'm also notoriously late for everything. My wife has to lie about what time we need to be somewhere just to get me there on time.

Says the guy who's not a teacher or behavioral psychologist or pediatrician or has any formal degree in child development or education. Not to be a dick but if you know all the answers then why are you a signarama jockey? Why didn't you work harder and become something bigger? This is what...

You're looking at things way too superficially. This is like telling a homeless guy the solution to all of his problems is to get a job. ADHD is a real condition, it is backed by actual science and can be seen on FMRI's AFAIK. Time blindness is also real. Yes, people use it as an excuse and...

That's actually happening right now. Could it be possible that the no child left behind policy is actually working and many students are coming out of school at a level above being a menial worker? It is the complaint today.

Exactly. You also get placed in school classes based on your level the same way. There are multiple above level choices, on level and remedial level. It's also not as simple as all diplomas carry the same value. It's made equitable through weighted gpa so those who get A's in above level...

But at what point do they catch up? Without outside help, tutoring or parents, it won't happen. So if the school doesn't force them along, do they go to 13th grade? There is no other way short of expelling them for not keeping up. As for illiterate adults, you can't force someone to learn or...

Also, this isn't a new thing. My buddy is pretty much illiterate but graduated high school. He's not alone in my age group.
