It seems that I see too many posts that are difficult, if not impossible to understand. I can understand the use of "internet shorthand", but what I see is as far from that as Ebonics is from being a legitimate language. I see this even in posts and questions from people that are in an office environment.
I say this as a 39 year old truck driver. I am a product of taxpayer funded child abuse(aka public schooling), so the accusation of private education is not applicable. Simply, when I was in school, I paid attention and did my best. Bear in mind, I'm a truck driver, so obviously I'm no genius.
Language skills are absolutely neccessary, and yet seem to be lacking. Is this just laziness, or a sign that even though we spend fortunes to educate our kids, the money is wasted?
My question is this: Who is responsible for the poor education our children recieve, and what can be done to solve it?
