It seems that the current educational industry is devoid of soul, and replete with stupidity of the highest degree.
To whom does the responsibility rest, that caused for the English comprehension standards to be what they are today?
To whom do they expect to inspire to comprehend these garbage publications that kill the soul, and destroy the interest of reading?
A reflection, indeed, a mirror of the state of our culture: can be found by looking at a fifth grade reading comprehension assessment. With homework assignments based off of poorly written pieces of trash, and hopelessly ambiguous questions to demonstrate how one did not but burn a brain cell, or two while working through it; it is no-wonder that public school systems are going to fail, and people will be fleeing in droves to online solutions, or across the state lines.
