I lost track of the number of grade 12 graduates who even had post secondary education that I had to let go, because they couldn't read or write. In Canada, it appears that we have an egalitarian educational system that requires everyone to graduate. This, in spite of the fact that they should have been stopped at grade three as they used to be. Now, grade 12 means they put in the required 12 years. The reason for this decay is simple, only 10% of people are intelligent, the remainder are not. The 90% got tired of being on the outside looking in. Give it another fifty years, and an IQ of 90 will be above average intelligence. Thankfully, I won't have to be around to tolerate this.
