WOW, and you learned to read and be able to display some reasoning skills and can use punctuation and form sentences and.....YOU DO THIS DESPITE GOING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. it never ceases to amaze me how many decry the wasteland of public schools but won't go into teaching, developed their intelligence despite a public education and still send their children off to the "gubmint" school every day. I cry Bull****!....if you feel so strongly about the school system you would put your children over your job and teach them yourself OR spend some of that money you make from a job you got, in part, because of what you learned in PUBLIC SCHOOLS, and pay for private or parochial school. Put up or shut up.
Actually My Brother and I attended School already having learned the 3 R's... School was for my Parents a Daycare Service Our father worked six 18 hour days a week and Our Mother worked a Factory Job also. When we were not in School we were at Our Grandparents who TAUGHT us.
Public School for the most part is a wasteland. I will not even begin to express my feelings on post-secondary facilities and certification programs either...
