Dr. Roberts has some news about the state of literacy in US “schools.” Please watch the included video:

Forty percent of US fourth graders cannot read.  Even fewer can read at their grade level. One teacher responsible for 110 eighth graders reports that only two can read at grade level.  https://www.bitchute.com/video/M8fPk94kCupI 

Teachers report that kids are not capable of comprehending the content of written material, and that thinking and working out the answer to a problem is beyond their ability.  

The 15 minute video in the URL above is worth your time.

If the 40% rate in the fourth grade is universally accurate, or just close, and the results of the Bleak House Test are similarly definitive, then my hypothesis that the longer a child is in the school system, the dumber the child becomes, might be correct. Also note that everything the teachers say in the video is pretty much what I summed up in The Substitute — right down to the students’ inability to take care of pencils. Of course, Dr. Ironsides didn’t encounter A.I. in 2018-19, the new tech that takes a lot of the blame in the video. It’s part of the problem, circa 2026, but it’s only one part. It certainly wasn’t around when John Taylor Gatto and Dorothy Sayers complained of the same deficiencies, forty or eighty years ago, respectively.

My guess is that this is the end product of what the wicked system was supposed to do. The whole system, of which the schools are only one piece. Homeschool or Idiocracy.
