My father was functionally illiterate, like many ghetto clowns, and was still able to find great success on assemble offshore oil rigs. This despite being barely able to read any of the blueprints or manuals, but simply working off skill and knowledge gained.
A lot of guys would excel in life by being given only a fraction of the schooling we give them now, and simply allowing them to do apprenticeship trade work to learn the rest.
I don't disagree. My father was an extreme that happened to work out. I'd wager that something around just the elementary school years (1-4/5) is still necessary to baseline the populace for survival. Enough time to learn to read, write, do basic math, and get some ability to critical think.
Well yeah, its 35% Black (and much higher than that once you leave South Arkansas areas like Shreveport). So once you factor in the extreme poverty whites and Indians, like 1 in 3 people never bothered to learn.

Idk I believe in literacy at a minimum.
