Wonder if it could be partly because 60% of today's public school 8th
graders can only read and do math at the 5th grade level when they enter
high school. Following the K7LXC prime directive is pretty difficult if you
can't read the manufacturer's instructions, compute guy wire angles, or
figure out how many cubic yards of concrete to order.
