I ran across my old high school history book today. It is nearly 40 years old.

[CountAllVotes]

2. +32,000,000

One vote for every illiterate person in America! That means that one in ten persons in the USA cannot read nor write.

We are going nowhere fast.

I have a relative that is now a teacher. By reading a simple note from this person, you'd never know they went to college much less graduated from high school. This person does not use any punctuation, writes in incomplete sentences, doesn't know when to add/end a paragraph, etc.

Said individual went to a pricey college too and still cannot spell the name of the town I live in. Sad yes and true.

You'd think with all of the texting devices, etc. that people would have at least learned the basics of how to read and also write but I guess that is just too much to ask for.
