[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 495332, member: 84"] Yes Donna, they count. Illiterate is illiterate, whether you somehow made it to graduation that way or not. We have those by the bulk around here too. Our illiterate folks come in all ages, it doesn't seem to trend to any one age group. We have just as many young kids who can't read as we do elderly who can't read. Heck, I can't tell you how many college students we had who couldn't read or write worth a hoot. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Down here when Nichole was in 2nd grade they started this "sounds like" spelling.......you didn't have to spell the word correctly, just come close and the teacher would mark it correct. Not on spelling test, but everything else. wth?? Add to that her severe dyslexia, and it explains why spelling is still a major issue with her. geez From what I can tell, it's still being done because I see the same thing with Darrin's corrected papers.
