[ABE-L] Illiteracy in the USA

[Danielle Steffen]

Alexandre,

Russian Times? O mesmo que estava fazendo:
1) Campanha aberta anti-fracking na UE, propaganda do gás da Rússia2) Declarando que não, a Ucrânia não tinha sido invadida, não era bem assim...3) Faz propaganda aberta do Putin em qualquer coisa que ele faça?

Você realmente acredita nisso? Por que você não usa os resultados padronizados utilizados no mundo civilizado inteiro, como o Teste Pìsa e congêneres pra falar sobre isso? Algo contra testes padronizados? Usados pelo mundo civilizado? Inteiro?

Sinceramente, numa amostra de 2 garotas (minhas filhas), que estudaram em 2 distritos diferentes do estado de NY, elas sabem muito mais sobre muito mais coisa, além de saberem muito mais matemática que eu na época em que me formei na high school. Ou eu sou muito, muito dumb, ou a matéria acima é uma propaganda anti-EUA (querendo atingir a OTAN, obviamente, já que o tio Putin tem sérios problemas com a OTAN interferindo na invasão da Ucrânia, por exemplo).
O papel (e a webpage) aceita qualquer coisa que se escreva. E dar share é muito, muito fácil.
Abs,Danielle Steffen DeCruz-Sanchez

 Prezad em s redistas,

Seguem alguns trechos de matérias sobre o assunto "analfabetismo funcional nos EUA". Aqui no Brasil a coisa anda no mesmo ritmo.


"New York City’s literacy rates are on the decline: nearly 80 percent of high school graduates lack basic skills like reading, writing and math and are required to relearn them before qualifying for community college. "
"The number of students who lack crucial reading, writing andmath skills is the highest it has been in years, CBS 2 reports."Fonte: http://www.rt.com/usa/nyc-graduates-unable-to-read-011/############################################################

Já em 2005:"Only 31 percent of college graduates can read a complex book and extrapolate from it. That's not saying much for the remainder.""What's disturbing is that the assessment is not designed to test your understanding of Proust, but to test your ability to read labels," he added.
"On average, adult literacy is virtually unchanged since 1992, with 30 million people struggling with basic reading tasks. While adults made some progress in quantitative literacy, such as the ability to calculate taxes, the study showed that from 1992 to 2003 adults made no improvement in their ability read newspapers or books, or comprehend basic forms."Fonte: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/24/AR2005122400701.html

Em 2013, segue abaixo o depoimento de uma professor de inglês que admite: "I'm illiterate" 
"‘Many of our brightest, most enthusiastic teachers have little or no grounding in English grammar,’ she said.""They are completely at sea with many aspects of proper usage."The problem is so bad that two years ago, the head of my inner city primary school in South Yorkshire had to employ a literacy expert — to teach the teachers.""One boy called out the word ‘simultaneously’. I struggled to spell it twice and in the end had to give up and write ‘at the same time’."

"The stark truth is that most people educated in a state school in the Seventies and Eighties had little or no grounding in grammar. And many of us have become teachers. Scarred ourselves, we have passed the damage on."

"I’m convinced the rot started in 1964 when Harold Wilson’s Labour government came to power and abolished the 11-plus in many areas. Parents were told this was to enable primary schools to develop a more informal, child-centred, progressive style of teaching, with the emphasis on learning by discovery."

"I had never heard of them and rushed home that night to research them on Google. Only then did I discover they are words such as ‘can’ and ‘could’, ‘shall’ and ‘should’, which are used to describe if something is certain, probable or possible."

"But some teachers feel there was no need to understand all those ‘tricky bits’."
