Detroit's problems have not gone unoticed anywhere, but these numbers from Detroit Regional Workforce Fund really schoked me; How on Earth can one be illetarate if one has a HS-diploma? This is absolutely ostentacious! What the absolute heck is wrong with this city?
Compare the number of illiterate adults in Detroit to the number of illiterate school teachers and you'll see the root of the problem.
Piggy backing on what lemmiwinx stated. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/nyregion/ny-regents-teacher-exams-alst.html?_r=0 This is recent.
Why should teachers be expected to pass literacy tests all of a sudden? Is this the new age of reason Trump is trying to force on us? I say resist!
