10. I'm not trying to badger you, but I'm not hearing concrete reasons why
you have decided they are illiterate.

You say you know all these teachers, and that is fine, but........ what does that mean?

"They can't and don't want to read and learn the facts."

You see, that's what makes me uneasy, right there. That's judgemental, and quite condescending. It's *your* perception, and doesn't mean it's actually what is the case.

People quite easily pick up on your unspoken biases. I wonder if that is a factor here,
