During my last week of high school, someone in my English class asked, out loud, “why do people read!?”

That was the first year ish of no child left behind. It’s only going to get worse, so so much worse.

There are stories from years ago about colleges having to offer remedial math classes for incoming students…

Can’t speak to cheap boxes, so usb might be the way, but I use a Zimaboard. Two built in SATA ports, and a pci-e daughter card gives me two more ports. Full disclosure, i don’t do anything more than 1080p, bad eyesight…
