In a way I agree with this. However many people couldn’t read several generations ago. I’m 57 and remember as a child going with my parents to vote & even in the 90s some people couldn’t read. They use a poll worker to read the ballot to the non readers. So, not being able to read would have left a lot of people out of voting. It wasn’t their fault they grew up poor and couldn’t read. Especially in the south it was more important for boys to work on the farm instead of going to school. I’d think it was like this in any area of poverty 100 years ago.
Id argue its still more important for boys to work on the farm than it is to go to school. But I see your point, valid.
I can agree with working on the farm in addition to getting basic education like reading & math. Most kids today don’t know hard work. Me & brother had to help get in the vegetables & peel, shuck etc. Also had to clean the house, pick up pine cones, cut grass & haul wood.
Education is important, no doubt about it. My concern was more with public school aka welfare school and the curriculum therein.
Agreed 100%, I live in a high pocket of welfare, drugs, theft and gangs. It’s several counties in eastern NC, east of Raleigh. My parents didn’t let me go to public school and I begged in high school. I completely understand now why they paid for private school. My granddaughter, 18 months, most likely will never go to public or private schools. She hasn’t had any vaccines is another reason. Most children in my area are just passed through school without learning. Except the top % that actually apply themselves.
