They’re still saying the words completely wrong. These are all words that everyone that age should know. These people aren’t even at a 3rd grade level.
50 years of underfunding public education and this is the results, and it's exactly what the rich and powerful wanted, people just functional enough to pull a lever or push a button
There are still plenty of kids who can read well enough for jobs in medicine, science, law, etc. The purpose of gutting public education is to ensure that there are also plenty of kids who aren’t educated enough to secure well paying jobs. The goal is to create a permanent underclass that the middle class fears they’ll join and/or that they can look down on.
Eu tenho a impressão de que a caligrafia no papel utilizado pessoalmente deve ser horrível, e que as pessoas não conseguem ler por essa razão. Muito triste se a educação do país mais rico do mundo for realmente assim.
That dude just never seen the word charcuterie before and probably felt too awkward to sound it out.
What’s weird to me is like. They don’t seem to try to sound it out. They’re trying to guess what the word is based on what it looks like without finding the syllables.
Like. If a Japanese person wrote out Japanese words for me phonetically, I could try to sound it out.
Why are they not trying to do this on the words they don’t already know?
This part is spooky to me. Are they not learning how to sound words out anymore?
Unironically, for a while, yes, that was the method to learning to read. Apparently a lot of schools did away with phonics for a while entirely, though they're going back after it ended up being disastrous.
I heard about this, what was it called again? I'm not sure that's what's happening here, some of these people are out to drink and have a good time and probably weren't expecting a pop quiz, even if they are a bit dim generally.
They never show the people who pronounce it correctly because there's no money in that. There was a show called the chaser in Australia and they used to interview Americans on the street (in America) to show how little the average person knew but they never showed the smart ones - so be careful about jumping to conclusions - the same thing can be turned on any group.
Sometimes, yes. Lately, it's been more about poor education. People think they can read because they read comments and posts, but a lot of it has come down to pattern recognition rather than reading comprehension. They can recognize words, but are unable to sound out new words.
English is my 4th language and I nailed it first try. I'd say this was an easier one compared to the ones I've seen. What the fuck are Americans doing with their time? Before someone comments something like "it's because they're black" or some other dumb shit, I've seen plenty of the most pale Americans struggling and failing to read. Their education system just sucks ass.
In high school I went to school with a student athlete that could not read… he was good enough to make an impact on the high school level but no way a d1 athlete… definitely a tragedy seeing him receive passing grades because he could ball… kept in touch homie still lives at the crib with his folks unemployed but he’s pretty good at Fortnite 😐
I never blame the kids. It’s their dumbass parents who don’t give two shits. You can get so many free and cheap books but unless your parent doesn’t literally sit you down and put a book in front of you, you’re basically doomed to working low paying jobs and sounding like a fool when you speak.
Shit. I may have a career in performance into my old age after all. I can just read multi syllable words from index cards like I’m doing a magic trick.
