14% of US adults can't read? Well damn...
+Jason A Sorry, but I call BS on that statistic. There is no way 1 out of 7 American adults cannot read in this country. AJ+ needs to provide sources on that claim.
+Jason A I believe that statistic, think about how many illegals can't read.
+Jason A Yeah when I saw that I was like citation needed
+TM56 +Awesome McBadass It's good that you guys are being critical of things you hear. The sad thing is that 14% of Americans won't be able to read it.

If you google it, you can find more sources. I just picked this one because it breaks the numbers down more in a nice chart.
+Jason A This video has some data that is misleading. That statistic is probably true, but I'm disappointed that the video did not explain that around 13% of the U.S. population is FOREIGN BORN, with nearly 82% of immigrants coming from Latin America and Asia, according to the World Almanac 2015.
What I really hate is all this standardize tests!!!
+Demarcus Barfield Especially the Smarter Balanced tests from last year, those were horrendous, and ended up flopping.
Demarcus Barfield Everyplace has one. It’s just a necessity sadly.
The real problem is standardized tests. Teachers scram to teach what needs to be known for the test and nothing more. The students immediately forget the information and never learn to apply it to real life.
As an 8th grader I totally agree
Matt Savage yep I’ve never had to use algebra in my life what’s worse is I still couldn’t do basic math In high school so school. They really need a better system in place like if your not going to get a job that involves most of stuff they teach us they shouldn’t force it on us should be optional also should have classes for students that are behind they have pre ap and ap classes for students that are higher up but not opposite
The kids are not all right.
No, they are all left....
bad joke, I know.
Hello dear How are you
Hasan Director shut up
Get schooled this month. AJ+ is exploring the good, the bad and the ugly side of education.
Do something on education in the middle east
+Xavier Toussaint yup that would be great...
Can you go more in depth on why 14% of Americans can't read?
LRK - maybe AJ+ are referring to the immigrant that just get their american citizen.
Why such a negative view? I just made similar vlog as an immigrant in the USA. Check it out. #afroAmericanMama
As an educator, the statistics varied from neutral to depressing. I appreciate that they were presented without commentary so we can each decide what to do with the information.
I thought I was watching buzzfeed
Please end common core my cousin is being introduced to CALCULUS AND HE'S IN 2ND GRADE, I'm in HIGH SCHOOL (1st year) and I'm only just starting Algebra this year!?!?!?!
wow i started calculus in third grade .-.
Same here my sister is in kinder and she's already being forced to do multiplication and division when I was still in elementary we didn't start that till like 1st or 2nd grade!
Imagine if they spent 100B less on defense and 100B more on education, housing, climate change action, public transit, and investment in research & development.
Where I live , it is hard not to be able to read . Each sound is matched with single letter . 30 sounds = 30 letters . I know some very old people who never went to school , but they all can read and write .
ruby acanfora This person made one punctuation mistake; and you are complaining. This must be coming from the punctuation Queen, Oh brother.
This was VERY HELPFUL, I love it! 😀 It's surprising too
In other countries, where teachers are paid on a level with doctors, America chooses, instead, to suggest lowering the requirement for teaching to a high school diploma, to rationalize its inability to attract the educators who'll teach tomorrow's doctors, lawyers, scientists, writers and mathematicians.
my 4th grade class - 39 students, 1 teacher,, imagine how well u think that went
Here in southern Ontario Canada we just started back today it's fun except that there's a heat wave 😭
Thank god I live in the UK
Who agrees that the school system needs to change
I strongly believe in education reform, one that values intellect and creativity over obedience and busy work. This education system has got to stop within the next decade or we are going to fail our successors. Your remark about National Defense, however, is true, but we should value safety a little more than education because we can't if we are at a high risk of being attacked.
I love your crass advertising. "Safety": for whom? Definitely not for the American people. Hungry for $$$ tax $$$, right?
what song is this?! Its mathy and I like it.
''us help us all always and expose evil always ''
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
Ive Always wondered why no other education system is scrutinized like ours its a blessing and a curse, because we can only compare ourselves size wise to China and India and those are horrid systems with decent results through rugged competition, but nobody complains that those places leave most people high and dry, and then there is Malaysia and Brazil and well thats not even close, and thats just in pure population. We as a country always compare our education system to tiny countries population wise, and have to realize we can't do it that way like Sweden or Norway or England cause we have to many people. So the answer really has to be an innovative one which is exciting to think that there is a chance to improve and better and something new.
+Xavier Toussaint you really have no idea what you're talking about. this has nothing to do with the amount of people in the education system. your conclusion that no other education system is scrutinized like ours is just more evidence of your ignorance.
yes it does, what the hell are you saying. The amount of people directly correlates to how much money needs to be put in, how many children are in the system and how the system needs to be prepared. So I guess that number of 50.1 million children doesn't matter,or that the number of illiterate adults could be in the millions isn't important because not understanding the population breakdown of demographics, ethnicity, population sprawl, percent growth doesn't directly lead to some of the issues in the education system like faculty to student numbers in inner cities and poorer school districts. population totally doesn't factor into who gets to have a music program and who gets it cut. And no other school departments around the world do get scrutinized as much, we have a system that is odd because of how much is put into public education. Also the fact that we boast some of the best schools in the world also certifies the extra scrutiny. So instead of saying shit out you're fucking ass, how about you step to with facts you stupid fucking bitch.
Xavier Toussaint You really need to learn how to read. This has nothing to do with population doesn't mean population isn't a factor. It means that it isn't the problem. There's a difference there. Learn what it is, you illiterate jackass.
And again, your belief in the exceptionalism of America is just jingoistic drivel. Do you really think that America is the only place that scrutinizes its education system "like us"?
lol exceptionalism...dear god I don't put any country on the pedestal, but facts are facts and by you saying population is a factor makes it pretty relevant don't you think seeing as it was in the video...I'm done, good day
I have a degree and I can't read fast enough to keep up with half of AJ+'s jumping between text videos.
Honestly when i went to america to stay there for 3 years i thought that the education given to me was super easy, like i got super dissappointed.
Music?
Lol I already owe 6.5k for my first semester of college. And my first day isnt until tomorrow 😂😂
what's the title of the song?
I'm already terrified of the SAT and I'm barely in Middle School...
+Dani Gomez
And rightfully so. If I had an honest suggestion, it would be no less than to adopt homeschooling, and immediate distance yourself from the public schooling system. It has been straying into some grave places.
Dani Gomez Just prepare for it. Training is key.
what song was that
50% of kids on free lunch. A small tale in the overall economic state of most of Americans that is directly relative to our education system failures , and many other things that ail us as a nation. Mainly the distribution of wealth.
You guys should do a Qatar Public Education System in 90 seconds...
+Rex Might be difficult from San Francisco
+Sammorich why not? They do stories from around the world, I want to know about middle east education
The high school drop out is more then 6.8 percent.
14% illiteracy is very high for industrialized nations.
+0dmg Our literacy rate is 99% so I really doubt this statistic is true
Remember, there are a lot of immigrants in the US, so I think they actually mean 14% can't read English. I doubt it's actually that high.
Really shows where our priorities lie, huh?
$801B on defense and $553B on education. Seems like that gap should be Bigger! A Military cost way more money than educating our young should. $801B our Military is number 1. $553B, why isn't our education #1. Cuz money doesn't solve everything, more money in Gov't more Corruption, not more productivity!
teachers aren't paid enough
That's because there's no big money to be made in providing people with a proper education system. More weapons sales, more $$$ tax $$$ siphoned for their profitable projects.
I hope this isn't a video trying to convince everyone we need to spend more money. Put the education money in the hands of the parents and so many education problems go away. Remember, the founders wanted us to have the information (libraries) but never said anything about government instruction (teacher).
One more statistic: $1 trillion in unfunded teacher pensions that taxpayers have to pay for first before any money goes to the classroom.
Yeah, it's a big scam.
This was mostly negative, I just want to understand study systems, Subjects etc, you guys have streams or not?
um i don't think all the facts are true. I've never met one person who can't read. reading is necessary for survival in such a capitalist and tech savvy nation. also college tuition is nowhere near $5,900 a year. i attend classes at the least expensive community college in my area and my annual tuition isn't quite that low. once i transfer to a university i will be forced to dish out tens of thousands of dollars. ask any college student here.
Education should not be left up to the states.
Its not that i dont want public. Its just hat their salary isnt enough.
Its really sad. It’s the American culture that needs to change. How Americans think of how education, should be. Most don’t see education as a priority. It’s not the money, it’s the way of how kids are raised and taught about the importance of getting a good education, mainly influenced by the American culture and parents. Most kids are not held accountable for their academics performance and schools are pressured to move kids along without being proficient in the subject, so teachers teach easy things, so students can at least look like they are proficient in something and pass the class easily, which is a lie to the kid. The proficient level has dropped significantly.
Schools need some money, but that is not the main root of the problem. You can give schools millions and it won’t solve the main problems of the schools. Poor schools can survive and achieve success despite having less money. The blame is the American culture and way of life. Individual rights, people don’t listen to authorities, they do what they want, nobody tells them what to do. No respect for authorities or anyone. Kids raised in this environment learn that and develops the mindset that it’s okay to disrespect teachers and do what they want, thus bad behavior in class. Don’t have to pay attention. Don’t have to learn anything or do anything they don’t want to. The average kid graduating from high school nowadays can’t even read properly or do simple math. 14% was back then. Now it’s worse. A nation is ruined. It’s because these kids do what they want to, don’t have to listen to the teacher, and these behaviors are supported by the parent, cause they to don’t respect authorities and thinks it okay.
You can also blame such rebellious behavior on the culture of corruption, graft, and hypocrisy that exists in government institutions. I see such attitude as a sign of frustration & disgust for the system itself. Kids are not going to respect "authority figures" if those people also show disrespect and callousness for the people (misleading them into endless for-profit wars, etc.) Why play nice with people who'll back-stab you with no problem and treat you as an idiot, people whom you're supposed to trust and admire? I think we all need to earn respect from each other by not holding double-standards.
Scottish universities pretty pls xxx
Sound's gid pal
I r n da %44.
How can you compare when the US is so huge? More people and a more diverse population than any other country,more of the same.I do agree the worlds educational system is shameful.,not much parenting is being done.But you can't pigeon hole such a diverse and massive country .
Yes ,I thought the person only took a negative view and has not gone in depth on anything. I just made a vlog about USA education system for mostly those who want to come to the USA.
USA diverse? You haven't visited India yet!!!
pfffmeh. Our educations system in america is shit.
I think US has 100% literacy and not 85 like it is said in the video
Source?
I've been teaching for over 45 years and I've seen nothing wrong, if anything it's the ideal dream.
I'm sure.
