Question above is pretty blunt but was doing a study for a college course and came across that stat. How is that possible? My high school sucked but I was well equipped even with that sub standard level of education for college. Obviously income is a thing but to think 1 out of 5 American adults is categorized as illiterate is…astounding. Now poor media literacy I get, but not this. Edit: this was from a department of education report from 2022. Just incase people are curious where that comes from. It does also specify as literate in English so maybe not as grim as I thought.
I played video games with all my boys for hours yesterday, they just don’t have unrestricted access to them, or private access in their rooms.
I agree online socializing is important, but I also have to make sure they aren’t watching Andrew Tate videos (yes, this is unfortunately a thing for some of the 11 year old boys on his sports team)
Help them build a good foundation and they’ll end up building a good house for themselves.
