While I'm sure that the school systems here face many challenges, I do not think the problem of illiteracy is because we are simply ignorant folks. Rather, Alabama has seen a huge uptick in immigration from Latin American countries. Where I live, the school system has gone from maybe 1% Hispanic 20 years ago to approaching 40% Hispanic now. Many of these children, and especially their parents, come from places where literacy and schooling are not a priority.<br /><br />I say this only to defend the inevitable backlash an article like this might cause against our schools. This illiteracy isn't because our schools are terrible. It is a challenge of a different sort.Brad Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197301845256854051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-77592526065692699972017-01-30T20:18:47.899-06:002017-01-30T20:18:47.899-06:00currently pursuing paper marbling for some project...currently pursuing paper marbling for some projects I have in mind, going to be a trial and error for a bit, an art to everything and all that.
