@der die schnauzelangsamvollhat

Mit einer Quelle kann ich dir leider nicht dienen, Tatsache ist aber, dass in den USA jeder 2. Lehrer Analphabet ist, der Lehrerberuf ist noch unter dem Mc Donalds Thekenjob angesiedelt und Zeugnisse oder Qualifikationen werden nicht gefordert.

[Stephen]

Na, das ist ja mal ein toller Thread

Ich würde sagen, weniger als in Deutschland!

[Matrix2003]

Einen kennen wir alle! BUSH

[Kabbes]

so ungefähr 73% (bush-unterstützer)

[Tuerklopfer]

Wieviel Analphabeten es in den USA gibt kann ich dir auch nicht genau sagen,aber auf alle Fälle sind keine Havard/Yale oder Westpoint Absolventen darunter(gibt es eigentlich in der BRD irgendeine Eliteuniversität,die deren Niveau nur im Ansatz erreicht ?

[Punk24]

Den Harvard-Abolventen Bush steckt auch ein deutscher Schäferhund locker in die Tasche

[wolaufensie]

...da Bush Analphabet ist, Saddam aber wahrscheinlich Alphabet hat Saddam anscheinend die besseren Qualifikationen um die USA zu regieren.
Warum wird das nicht sofort so gesagt in #1, das
geht doch viel schneller als das ständige verklauselte
Rumgedruckse um den heissen Brei...und man sähe auch
sofort wo der Schrätteröffner hin will...
...ja , ja , - jetzt kommt gleich der Einwand, dass man
soetwas nie und nimmer behauptet hätte/wollte/ hätte wollen...

@punk @rest,

Bush hat soviel ich weis in Yale studiert.
Und nein, ich WILL NICHT DARAUF RAUS .....es ist eine durchaus ernste Frage.Ein Freund hatte mir erzählt es gäbe
einen sogenannten Sekundär-Analphabetismus (In der Schule schreiben und lesen gelernt, später aber wieder abhandengekommen, oder es kann zwar jemand lesen aber die Zusammenhänge nicht erkennen) im hohen zweistelligen Prozentbereich, besonders bei Auswanderern in den USA, aber auch bei uns soll er bei ca. 4 Millionen liegen.

[Stephen]

#11 Meintest Du Einwanderer in die USA?

Der PISA-Test gab einen guten Überblick über das verstehende Lesen der 15-jährigen. Ich habe eine solche Aufgabe mal gesehen!

Ja, das Phänomen der älteren Analphabeten existiert anscheinend. Komisch ist es schon, denn ich dachte, das wäre wie beim Fahrradfahren: einmal gelernt, nie mehr verlernt. Vielleicht sollten die 40-Jährigen auch mal getestet werden

Schöne Grüße von Stephen

@stephen,

beide, Amerikaner als auch Einwanderer(die sogenannten Aliens), alle Menschen die in den USA leben.
Wundert mich, daß es darüber nirgendwo Statistiken gibt.

STATISTICS

WHAT`S THE PROBLEM?

1. 50% of all Americans over 65 years old are functionally illiterate (maybe that`s why the majority of the people don`t vote).

2. 60% of the Urban School Children do not graduate High School of the 40% that do they are only reading at 4th grade level.

3. National Assessments of Educational Progress (NAEP) figures show that the minority differential in reading achievement is a persistent problem that has not changed in the least since 1979 (NAEP1998)

4. Improving Education for Every Child by Nina Shokraii Rees
"The need for action is desperate. Today, a stunning 40 percent of America`s 4th graders continue to read below the basic level on national reading assessments. On international tests, America`s 12th graders rank last in advanced physics compared with students in 18 other countries. And one-third of all incoming college freshmen enroll in a remedial reading, writing, or mathematics class. These numbers are even bleaker in the inner cities and poor rural areas, where 68 percent of low-income 4th graders cannot read at a basic level. In fact, despite $120 billion in federal spending since 1965 to raise the achievement of poor children, a wide educational attainment gap remains between rich and poor students.

4. The deepest downturn in the educational process occurs in the fourth grade. THIS MEANS if YOU HAVE FAILED to give children confidence that they can learn to read by the time they are 8 or 9 years old you will have lost them for life. They cannot recover. Perspective: Parents and educators only have a relatively few days - a fraction of the child`s whole life to get them set up for success.

A school year is approximately 30 weeks and that equals around 150 days in a year, minus about 10 days for holidays or sickness and all that is left is 140. Kindergarten through the end of third grade is 4 years x 140 days = 560 days total. Your average life span is around 70 years = 25,550 days. All we have is the .02 percent of a child`s lifetime to give them reading skills that will have an impact on them for the remaining 98% of their lives!

The "standard" is the variety of language used in business and academic writing and the mass media - the variety you need if you want to get a college education or a high-paying job. It is the variety of the powerful, unmarked by any features associated with a particularly powerless group. But people have come to believe the standard variety is inherently better for effective communication than other varieties - more logical, more precise, even more beautiful. The result is that society at large has stigmatized these other, nonstandard varieties rather than considering their contributions to effective communication, including their use in the teaching of standard English.

EXAMPLE:
SNAPSHOT
The School District of Philadelphia is the seventh largest in the nation serving 208,170 as of 9/20/2000 including early childhood programs.

African-American 65.1%
Asian 4.8%
Hispanic 12.6%
Native American .2%
White 17.3%

Philadelphia Pennsylvania Education Empowerment Plan
To improve the learning performance of Philadelphia`s public school students by June 30, 2004, to ensure increased achievement of our students, such that the Philadelphia School District will be removed from the Education Empowerment List. Eleven school districts in Pennsylvania have been placed on the Empowerment List because of low average student performance. If District-wide student performance does not improve, a new team led by Pennsylvania`s Secretary of Education can take control of Philadelphia`s public schools. The District will provide extended time or summer programming to all students requiring additional support.
Timeline: By June 2001, identify students failing or at risk of failing in grades 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12, and enroll 75% of those students in extended time or summer programming.
By June 2002, enroll 90% .
$16,390,200. Million Dollar School Improvement Grant for this year to partially fund certain programs identified in the Plan. Acting through the Secretary of Education, the Pennsylvania Department of Education has placed the District on the Education Empowerment List as a result of a combined average of 50 percent or more of the students in the District scoring in the bottom quartile in math and reading on the Pennsylvania System of Schools Assessment Test in the most recent two years. To be removed from the List and to qualify for the base annual grant provided for in the Act, the District must transmit to the Department an Improvement Plan that sets forth the manner in which the District, will, within three to four years, improve PSSA scores such that it can be removed from the List. Within 30 days after the Secretary placed the District on the List, the District, in accordance with the Act, established an 11-member Education Empowerment Team, which was formed to draft the Plan and furnish it to the District`s Board of Education within the 120-day period required under the Act. The Empowerment Team is comprised of eleven members.

Computer Technology and Instructional Reform
This site distributes research information from the national survey, Teaching, Learning, and Computing--1998, a study of teachers` use of computer technology, their pedagogies, and their school context. More than 4,000 teachers and related technology coordinators and school principals participated in the study. The study included schools and teachers from a national probability sample and also included purposive samples of schools and teachers because of their participation in major school reform programs or their unusually high amounts of computer technologies available.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
LITERACY AND DIALECT SPEAKERS?

In "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance"
1 of my favorite books -- Pirsig says,

"We build up whole cultural intellectual patterns based on past `facts` which are extremely selective. When a new fact comes in that does not fit the pattern we don`t throw out the pattern. We throw out the fact. A contradictory fact has to keep hammering and hammering and hammering, sometimes for centuries, before maybe one or two people see it. And then these one or two have to start hammering on others for a long time before they see it too
. . . Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing."

FACT: Understanding is best achieved when aspects of reality are studied in isolation from each other (biology, history, physics, language, etc.).

CONTRADICTORY FACT: Understanding is best achieved when the holistic nature of reality is recognized so that all knowledge becomes part of a single, mutually supportive conceptual framework.

WHAT`S THE PROBLEM?

1. 50% of all Americans over 65 years old are functionally illiterate (maybe that`s why the majority of the people don`t vote).

2. 60% of the Urban School Children do not graduate High School of the 40% that do they are only reading at 4th grade level.

After climbing in most of the 20th century and peaking in
the late 1960`s, the national graduation rate steadily
declined, settling around 70 percent in the last few years,
the Department of Education says. For black and Latino students, the numbers are worse. Only about 55 percent of African-American students and 53 percent of Latinos graduate, a study last November 2002 by the Manhattan Institute shows, though there are many competing
theories to explain such disparities.

Mississippi Desegregation Suit Settled for $500 Million
By Michael A. Fletcher Tuesday, April 24, 2001; Page A01
Mississippi agreed yesterday to end more than a quarter-century of legal battles over the desegregation of its higher education system, reaching a $500 million settlement intended to remedy decades of state-sanctioned racial discrimination. Pioneer James Meredith, was the first African American student accepted by the University of Mississippi. His attendance provoked riots. Here he is escorted to class by U.S. marshals and troops. Oct. 2, 1962.

4. Confusion and Ignorance

The "standard" is the variety of language used in business and academic writing and the mass media - the variety you need if you want to get a college education or a high-paying job. It is the variety of the powerful, unmarked by any features associated with a particularly powerless group. But people have come to believe the standard variety is inherently better for effective communication than other varieties - more logical, more precise, even more beautiful. The result is that society at large has stigmatized these other, nonstandard varieties rather than considering their contributions to effective communication, including their use in the teaching of standard English.

5. Richard Riley Former Secretary of Education
"54 percent of all teachers have limited English proficient (LEP) students in their classrooms, yet only one-fifth of teachers feel very prepared to serve them.
REPORT: Exemplary practices, programs, and individual schools that are helping to transform education.

6. "Read or go to jail." - In California they plan how many jail cells they will build in the future by how many children are not reading on grade level by third grade.

7. Only 1 out of 3 people vote in elections - CNN 11/4/02

8. Voting Corruption


7. THE OLD PEDAGOGY - Chalk and Talk n.
Derogatory term used to describe the traditional model of classroom instruction, in which a professor delivers a monologue, punctuated by chalkboard scrawling, before a passive group of students.

A Global Perspective
Statistics from
Sweden
UK
USA


Sweden

(Population: 8 852 339)
Between 5 to 8 percent of the population have significant or specific problems in reading and writing, dyslexia. Recent progress in research about reading has led to dyslexia being classified as a disability equal to other linguistic disabilities. Dyslexia has become more visible in our text and informationbased society, both in schools and at work.
(Source: Hjälpmedelsintstitutet.)



UK

(Population: 58 295 100)
The Incidence of Dyslexia
Based on government-sponsored studies, the British Dyslexia Association estimates that 10% of children have some degree of dyslexia, while about 4% will be affected severely (an average of one in every class). Most will need some special teaching at some time during their school life, but the most severely affected may need such help throughout their education, with support even at college and University.
A distinguishing characteristic of dyslexia is its persistence throughout life. A child does not "grow out of it". Appropriate teaching and the use of coping strategies may moderate its effects significantly.
Each dyslecic individual appears to have a unique profile; many are highly gifted and creative. The severity of symptoms also varies; some of these are not always strikingly apparent. Girls for example seem to develop language skills and coping strategies at an early stage and this may mask underlying difficulties.
(Source: The Dyslexia Handbook 1995, published by the British Dyslexia Association.)



USA

(Population: 264 000 000)
Government statistics show 25 million Americans (one in ten) are functionally illiterate. The primary cause is dyslexia or one of its many variations, such as ADD or dysgraphia.
(Source: Dyslexia, the gift.)


As many as 80% of all people with learning disabilities have dyslexia.
