If they can't read how to the know what to text?
This sounds like b.s.
Also, you're a teacher. How bout doing some teaching instead of posting on Facebook about how tough your job is.

she's slightly exaggerating and i wouldn't call it a "great literacy crisis", but the kids in high school and middle school do have an uphill battle ahead of them if they want to be functioning members of society.
my old lady teaches middle school math in inner city Houston. One of the better schools as well. And half of her kids can't grasp simple concepts like multiplication tables, fractions, and graphing. After it being taught to them for years and her fellow teachers and her reteaching it this year.
They don't care. Their parents don't care. And the test scores show it.

If it is true that they can't read by 11th grade, then it's too late. The kid would need a tutor to learn that late. A teacher doesn't have time to teach reading with all these tests the students take in 11th grade.

Maybe they're talking about reading comprehension. Doesn't sound like you comprehend much.

Reading is not merely recognizing the words independently, but also comprehending the material as a whole. My wife is a new 2nd grade teacher at an urban school. Her 1st few weeks was spent assessing their skill sets. Not a single child scored 1st grade 12th month, which is what one would expect going into 2nd grade. Most scored at various ranges in kindergarten in all subjects. As a teacher how do you teach 2nd grade material to kids that are that far behind?? My first instinct was, WTF were the previous year teachers doing. It's not that, it's parental involvement. With the sheer volume of material that has to be taught during the day, it is a necessity the child review at night with the parent and it's not happening. At most 10% of the parents participate. Then, of those that do, they aren't able to help because they lack the intelligence(keep in mind it's second grade) to assist the child. On a measuring task one parent didn't know how to measure centimeters. Several parents didn't know the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches.

there is a difference between "reading" and "reading comprehension"

By the time a kid is in the 11th grade they should know how to read. At this point the specialty is understanding heavy material and being able to find meaning in the text.
11th grade teachers do not know how to teach reading because that was not part of their college curriculum.
Would you expect a college professor to teach you to read or how to add and subtract? No... You are already expected to know the fundamentals.
