Yes, of course, I come from a country where people are jailed for poor grammar, this is why I came to America. As far as the previous person's 'blog'is concerned, I fail to see how it offers any type of solution. (by the way, it's called a post) What the poster "offered" was a "pressure tactic" not a solution. This flawed type of reasoning would have one throw the baby out with the bathwater and would adversely affect our children's education. A better solution would be a voter recall, which does not seem to be an option in this case. We are going to have to wait for an election. In the meantime I suggest vigilance and community participation. Please, show up to school board meeting or a PTA or SAC meeting if you are a parent and volunteer at a school. As well, I suggest that both you and the first poster, if you are in fact different people, seek to improve your understanding of basic English, otherwise do not bemoan the fact that our children graduate from high school without basic writing skills. I fail to see how I would follow your leadership in matters of education if you cannot write in your own language, it would be like having a four hundred pound couch potato as a personal trainer. As far as doctors are concerned, I believe your comment applies to their penmanship rather than their grasp of syntax and grammar. Yes the U.S. is a wonderful country, with a long and strong tradition of public education. This means that all are given the tools, however the rest is up to individual. One can either graduate with the ability to write a grocery list, a coherent sentence, an essay or a novel. Which one did you chose? I assure you that I am here quite legally, that I pay my taxes and stay out of trouble. As much as it may irk you, I have the same rights as you, except that I may not run for POTUS. Most of the time I keep my opinions to myself, but when someone starts their post of with "What would be right for the kids" my curiosity is piqued. After reading the post, I am quite convinced that this person has no idea what is right for the kids as far as their education is concerned. This is not a judgement on their character as a whole but if I were to show up at your door, slovenly attired and offer myself as your stylist what would you do? Understand that when you present yourself through writing, it is the same thing. If you are going to comment on education and be taken seriously at least demonstrate that you have taken your own education to heart.
