Actually, I do believe those people are a product of our school system - sad but true.



I played Trivial Pursuit with a recent high school grad (Class of 2000). Now, I didn't expect her to know all the answers because some of them are tough for me (a college grad). However, I didn't expect to have to read my own trivia questions to myself because she couldn't read. When I say she couldn't read the questions, I don't mean hard words, hard-to-pronounce words or French terms. I mean basic 3rd grade level (maybe 5th grade level) words and sentences!



I was shocked! Especially since she had just graduated from the school district my children (when I decide to have children) would attend.
