This started back when I was in High School.
We use to have a joke about some of the Basketball players. Yes we went and won state every year :roll:

"for years ago I coldnt spel gaduate now I iz one"


Sad part I had one player's grandson ( yes I said grandson) in the school I taught. He was going to play college ball and go pro so he didnt need to learn how to read. One thing I am proud of is, I was on the team of 4 teachers who got him reading and wanting to learn as much as he could.

Good for you, MsSage. Good teachers are invaluable.

Our banker, who now OWNS the bank, said he couldn't read
when he graduated from high school. Said he had to take a speed
reading course before he could go to college. Always said his
parents should have sued the school... :shock:
