The standard required to pass the 6th grade, I guess? Possibly people are reading at that level but then forget how to do it later in life? That's definitely the case with for example knowledge of maths.
- robbrown451 5y agoBut obviously they did pass 6th grade. I mean, where does the standard come from? Does it have nothing to do with what the typical student in a typical school is able to accomplish? If not, it is just arbitrary and meaningless.
- Edman274 5y agoOr, they never attained a 6th grade reading level and our teachers and standardized tests allowed them to still graduate high school, because failing to get a high school diploma virtually guarantees someone will be in poverty for the rest of their life?
