He just needs a good secretary who can proof his writing. He may be really smart but unable to express his ideas in writing. Special education includes all types of people, including people with dyslexia. People with dyslexia usually have higher than average IQ but are unable to process the sound/symbol connection and may have problems with written expression. I’m not saying he has dyslexia, but there are disabilities that do not effect IQ that may create deficits in the ability to write.
“I was elected to lead, not to read.”
I go with typo here instead of grammar. I, as other Freepers, occasionally have a typo in my posts. The other day I meant to post “fried chicken” but I posted “friend chicken” instead. I’m still clucking about it.
My 4th grade teacher made Attila look like a Cub Scout. Every week we would write 20 words five times, Monday thru Friday. It wouldn't fit today's mores, but it was sure effective for me.
Back then, computers were the size of classrooms, so we learned how to compute using pencil/paper and/or slide rules. 40+ years later, I remind my kids how remarkable that which NASA accomplished: sent men to the moon and back using not much more than slide rules.
Those are hugh and series errors, my FRiend.
NASA had computers in the 1960s that took up the space of a football field. At the research center at Columbia, under Robert Jastrow.
Hey, the guy at least made it into fourth grade. I think that's above average, for Detroit.
“Detriot school board president Otis Mathis can’t write in English.”
“Coach needs to check his spelling before posting a missive against someone who cannot write properly.”
Oh PLEASE, SoFloFreeper!
The story from Detroit is one of political correctness in the area of “promoting diversity” taken to a level of negligent absurdity.
It is no wonder that the last four or five decades of Detroit’s history has seen the population continue to pick up and leave.
I saw an article that said there is a total land area of vacant houses and unoccupied residential lots in Detroit equal to 40 square miles.
