All of my students were from Mexico all were illiterate not only in English but in their native Spanish as well. Comparisons to other countries are useless because we require children to attend school and for public schools to take all comers. Every country that supposedly does a better job teaching kids than we do has some system for cherrypicking the best and the brightest.
