It is estimated that 42 million American adults are functionally illiterate. Between 45 and 50 million adults can't read above a fifth grade level.
These are just a few of the scary facts about adult illiteracy. Clearly, this is a big issue that needs to be addressed in our nation.
It also needs to be addressed in Lancaster County. In 2008, 21.5% of students in Lancaster County had dropped out of school. What are we going to do about it? What do you think we should do to fight these statistics?
