I recently retired from teaching at the community college level. I saw the HUGE disservice to our American students who got through twelve grades and STILL had the reading and writing skills of a first grader.

THEREIN lies the betrayal.

But, BOY, did they have self-esteem. I DID ask one minority male if he felt GOOD about being an ignoramus. Since he didn't know what that word meant I was off the hook.

I had JUST corrected his Master's thesis for errors, at HIS request. The FIRST PARAGRAPH of four sentences had 50 (fifty) errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling.

In answer to MY question he just nodded and smiled.

I’m confused: a person is writing a Master’s thesis in community college?

50 errors in a small paragraph? That is exceptional. That is genius. Any possibility you could recall that paragraph and print it here for everyone to see?

(I would love to have it as an example for an article later on.)
