We have many myths about education. I took a long look at education in an exclusive essay to my new book, “What the F*CK is Going On?” which will be out later this year.

One of those myths is that we graduate people who cannot read their own diplomas. That isn’t as much of a myth as we might like to think. Our education system does a great job for many people, especially given the constraints around it and how we pay for it. For those that fall through the cracks, they can end up going into life without an ability to read or do basic math.
