haha, black people are better than you. that is TOO funny. now you frown and hang your head in shame.
According to the CIA - The World Factbook, literacy in Guyana is defined as age 15 and over and has ever attended school. Using this definition, 98.8% of the Guyanese population is "literate".
Now, compare that to the definition of literacy in the USA, age 15 and over and can read and write. Using this definition, 99% of the population of the USA is "literate".
Now here's some food for thought... the CIA World Fact Book actually only utilizes 2 definitions of literacy, where eitehr age xx can read and write or age xx has EVER attended school. It appears that the latter is only used when the former is an embarassingly LOW number for the country. I.E. if you defined literacy in Guyana as age 15 and can read and write, I'm sure you'll have to count the population in basis points... (a basis point is 1/100 of 1%). Further evidence of this is Sierra Leone has literacy defined as age 15 and can read and write, with a dismal 29.6% of the population being literate, but their literacy rate under this definition must be far greater than Guyana's literacy rate with this definition. I mean come on, it's Sierra Leone! (Blood Diamonds, like from the Kanye hook, the 007 movie, Lord of War, you all know what I'm talking about).
So in conclusion... you should tell your students what the world thinks of them and that they should better step to learning or start playing sports or selling drugs... just like "blaks" in the US!
Anonymous she teaches at a community high school so these students don't represent the majority of people in Guyana.And you should know that most of you Americans are illiterate and have these problems with reading so don't degrade my country please. White people sell crack too dear.
