what’s the concrete advantage of the average person reading at a high level is, past some sort of weird elitism?
they clearly haven’t needed the skill in their lives, or their reading level wouldn’t have “atrophied” over time, so what’s the point?
i also don’t particularly care how well the average adult has their multiplication tables memorised
reading is insanely important, so is literacy. Its not elitism to get someone to actually be fluent in their own language in order to allow them to properly interact with the world.
Lol the same people who are so confident in their opinions also have a hard time reading, coincidence?
