Thanks to Roshambu for this site. I encourage everyone to look at it. It's as nonbiased that one can get within the pathetic media arena that our beloved nation spews. 

Only 35% of adult Americans are proficient at reading. I thought it was just over 50%. No wonder why Ivy schools like Brown have to lower their standards. They need enrollment, but at this rate, they don't have much to choose from. I guess that also explains why they would come up with degrees like 19th century Russian studies. 

About 31% of 4th graders, 30% of 8th graders, and 35% of 12th graders were considered proficient or advanced in reading in 2024, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP, also known as the Nation’s Report Card, assesses 4th and 8th graders’ progress in reading and math approximately every two years. It assesses 12th graders every four years.
