I found the statistics about 17-year-olds being about to read to be very interesting and a little sad. As a 21 year old, I cannot imagine not being able to read and understand something like a local newpaper. The health and literacy statistic about 31% of asthma patients at the third grade reading level is crazy. I also think the inmate statistic is not completely surprising to me. I don’t really know why, I guess when I think of people that break the law, I think of not being very smart. I know that that doesn’t mean that all inmates are under this statistic but as an overall statistic, I think it is sad.
