Oli,

You work at much higher level of education in your job, than I when I worked at the Middle School, but I can relate to an extent. I remember being amazed at some of the words students would ask "how to spell". frown It is truly truly sad.

There were many mornings during our daily "Pledge Allegiance" when I'd watch students who were in the office stand and "attempt" to say the pledge without really knowing the words. My kindergarten grand daughter knows the pledge.

I blame the whole system. These people will be running things and they are so lacking in basic education. I don't know, maybe it's just CA, or maybe just my school, but it's frightening that's for sure.
