Having said that, let me say that the majority of people in the US who graduated from high school and even college in the past twenty years are functional illiterates. Most individuals under the age of 35 in the US would fail a
general geography and english composition test. These 'idiots' can't
form a gramatically correct sentence and their spelling is atrocious. Before we criticize the chicas, let's not forget to realize that the majority
of individuals in the US under 35 are functional illiterates. Pathetic!
Couldn't agree with you more. What's worse is that the educators are (in my opinion) co-conspirators in the decline of our educational system. I don't claim to be a genius. I am a HS grad with 1.5 years at a Junior College. But, check this out:
About 7 years ago, my ex-gf had a son who was a junior in HS. He had to do a report on his summertime activities. I'll never remember it verbatim but, it read a little something like this: Last summer, me and my hommies hung out at the clubs. All my crew was looking fly and the honnies were plenty. [My reaction

I am only 41, hardly "old school." But, to think he would even have the nerve to hand that in tells me something.
