The "kids aren't literate anymore" line really runs afoul of the abysmal state of standardized testing. Case in point:
The Pineapple And The Hare: Can You Answer Two Bizarre State Exam Questions?
This is what we're using to evaluate literacy in the modern day. Tests designed to confuse students and flunk classrooms, in order to justify education privatization.
A test that is a joke with no setup and a dangling punchline. Of course, there is no way to argue for any of the options. For the company that makes the tests, there is only one correct answer.
The actual joke is that a private company is in charge of making tests for students.
And the correct answer is that the animals ate the pineapple because they wanted (as there is no justification for the fruit murder) and the wisest animal is the owl because they didn't show up for this clusterfuck of a story.
The animals are the pineapple.
What the fuck even is that test question?
