Once again you are extremely narrowed minded, you seem to use all of these 'hypothetical' examples which are not representative of the entire population of younger Australians.
And nowhere did I say that it did.

Some probably would not understand or know those statistics and if you are fighting for a cause related to that they should have some understanding.
But we keep being told these kids "know". Knowing the amount of CO2 one exhales is not statistics it is raw numbers. Knowing Man's contribution as a percentage is not statistics. Once again it is raw numbers. Statistics are about the likelihood of something
occurring, a completely different field. But even there you need to know the raw numbers.

It's people like you who are part of the problem, a level of belief and encouragement would not go astray.
But they already "know".

They need "good literacy" doesn't imply they don't have good literacy. Can you not agree with that?
That seems reasonable on the face of it. The proof however is in the pudding. When trainee school teachers need remedial training, something seems amiss.

Just to clarify as well....English literature is compulsory all through schooling Kindergarten to Year 12.
Yes. They could for a long time get a passing grade for content. My son was one such, he has had to redo that bit. His pages started with a capital letter and ended with a full stop. Bur the teachers thought that was fine.
