I knew how to read and write when I got there and they sat on me for 4 years until I could go to college. They taught me nothing in that 4 years but certainly DID mess with my head.
In the end, I found out that I graduated 3rd out of 253 students and they were on my case daily and almost hourly. I was so glad to get out of there. It took years for me to get right.

I believe you. I see this a great deal of the time and it gets progressively (pun intended) worse.
Our public school system has so watered down the educational requirements, that even those with learning disabilities are BORED and unchallenged. This is certainly not the case in *every* school, but it IS the case in the majority.
