Houston looks to overcome high rates of adult illiteracy

1. Is it cause where from the south 😭

2. My heart hurts that he tried to learn several times before but was turned away for “being too far behind”. I’m so glad you tried again sir. That old lady was right. You’re never too late to learn. Keep up the great work! It’ll get easier as you go and before you know it you will understand first hand the beautiful world of reading.

3. illiterate and driving? explains so much bad driving. My son was reading at age4, went to Alief district for K, was told he really didn't know how to read until he did worksheets perfectly. Was in Pasadena district briefly where focus was on answering worksheet over and over until it was perfect, memorized multiplication tables, understanding what algebra is, reading above grade level was discouraged and kid became suicidal at age 7. When pulled him out the last book the teacher let him read was "good night moon" when 3 mos prior he was reading "Little House " series at home. Tx schools are a train wreck in every way.

4. All TX people have to know is how to read "propane and propane accessories"

5. Fake news. I was born and raised in Houston and I can tell you from my many years of living there, working in community programs and in the school system, that the claim that 1 in 3 adults there is illiterate is nonsense. I suspect there is some hidden motive for making such a ridiculous claim.

6. All this in the home of NASA JSC…

7. Well no wonder republicans won that state. Sheeesh

8. 81 million illiterate adults in this country!!

9. Texas? Not surprised.

10. One In Three ??? (OK Depends How You Define Functionally ) But Yes, Unacceptable , Modern Society Cannot Survive/Maintain That

11. Robert Trevino. I am Korean.
    Cheer up! Please don't be ashamed of it.
    Here in Korea, on the contrary.
    Even College educated students can not understand spoken english and speak at all(deaf and dumb).
    But you understand and speak English well. It's not too late to learn reading. In here, Even english teacher don't speak well and understand as much as you.
    In other words, you are good at your language.

12. Dumb Diddy dumb dumb dumb, remind me to never move to Texas.

13. Texas, it's a start.

14. A Knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal TRULY tested!"

    “Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through FORGING, it becomes steel and is transformed into a RAZOR SHARP Sword! Human beings develop in the same fashion.”

    “Will of IRON, Nerves of STEEL, Heart of GOLD, Balls of BRASS!”

    – Test of Metal (Forged by Fire)

    1 Peter 4

    "Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin."

    "That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God."

    "For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do. Living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry." (Time to level up! 🎮☝️📈)

    "Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they speak evil of you."

    "But remember that they will have to face God, who stands READY TO JUDGE EVERYONE, both the living and the dead."

    "For this cause was the Gospel PREACHED also to them that are dead, that they might be Judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit."

    "But the END of all things IS AT HAND! Therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers."

    "Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love COVER'S a multitude of sins."

    "Show hospitality to one another WITHOUT complaining."

    "As each has received a GIFT (Holy Ghost), use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s Grace."

    "If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. In SERVING, they should do so with the STRENGTH God provides, so that in ALL things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the Glory and the Power forever and ever. Amen."

    "Dear friends… Do not be SURPRISED at the Fiery Trial when it comes upon you to TEST you, as though something strange were happening to you." 😎

    "Be GLAD for the chance to suffer as Christ suffered. It will PREPARE YOU for even GREATER happiness when he makes his GLORIOUS return!" (Receiving your inheritance/reward, based on your work and effort)

    "If you are insulted in the name of Christ, you are BLESSED, because the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you."

    "But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters."

    "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him NOT be ashamed; but let him Glorify God on this behalf."

    "For the TIME HAS COME that JUDGMENT must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins with us, what shall the end be of them that obey NOT The Gospel of God?"

    "And if the Righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

    "So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their FAITHFUL Creator and CONTINUE (Don't stop until you reach the finish line 😘) to do good."

    In the "School of Life", we have levels… Most people don't stay in first grade. 🎓

18. Love Your Channel. || Im From Pakistan

19. It has everything to do with the low quality "ejamakashun" kids get in the "publik skul sistim." For one thing, schools should get back to TEACHING, rather than indoctrinating.

20. A ten year old?! That's child abuse. Children are NEVER supposed to take care of their parents. Their trash parents should've been responsible enough not to have them, if they couldn't provide for them!! Why are people constantly having children when they themselves don't have the skills to pass on to them to survive in America?

21. Shocking.

22. Just now? 🙄

23. Why? Just do what they did up in the Northwest. Nobody needs it to graduate. Just give them the diploma. They don’t need to earn it.

24. " … repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand "(Matthew 3: 2)

    "…10 And he said unto me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.

    11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.

    12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, that I may reward every man according to his works.

    13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last.

    14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter the city by the gate.

    15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness.

    16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star.

    17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is desirous take the water of life freely.

    18 And I also bear witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will put on him the plagues that are written in this book;

    19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away from him his part in the book of life, and in t7he holy city, and in what is written in this book.

    20 He who bears witness to these things says, " I am coming soon." Amen to that. Hey, come on, Lord Jesus!

    21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen to that."

    Revelation of John the Evangelist, 22:10-21

    "But as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the coming of the Son of Man: for as in the days before the flood they ate, and drank, and married, and were married, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not think until the flood came and destroyed them all, so will be the coming of the Son of Man; then there will be two in the field: one is taken, and the other is left; two grinding in the millstones: one is taken, and the other is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know at what hour your Lord will come"(Matthew 24: 32)

25. And they're all Trump supporters

26. I used to tutor people in reading, and it’s one of the most rewarding things I ever did. I’m changing careers to work with addiction sufferers, and I will sure tutor clients, if they let me. I’d love to set up a reading and other educational tutoring program in a long term treatment or transitional sober housing.

27. YOU KNOW those trumptards are dumb as a rock as adults. JUST LISTEN to them. And they vote!!!

28. I hope he achieves his goal. Imagine being able to finally read a great novel for the first time!

29. The sad reality of Japanese politics.
    The dictatorship of the LDP is…
    A son of a son, a son of a son, a son of a son, a son, a son, a son, a grandson, a grandson, a son of a grandson, a daughter, a son of a daughter, a son of a son…
    As this continues, it is impossible for the general working class to try to reform the country. This is the sad political reality of Japan, a backward country.

30. You MUST Respect a man like that! He didn’t quit, he sacrificed & now he is hunting the education he once set aside. He is a True fighter!✨💫

31. School choice 10+ years ago would have solved the issue…
