    Damn it. I was hoping you were joking or exaggerating or something. Sixth graders can’t even read that well, not really. There are six years of school (at least) after that!

    Some seems an ironic ingrained superior attitude of "I ain't needed more schoolin' , I left school and got a good job selling ammo, ain't nobody going wiv out ammo, so I'm good."

    And the other part is one state was paying a teacher 30k salary, in Canada it is double that pay to start and has prescribe raises based on years.
