With regard to reading and writing, one can almost find illiterate graduates. I'm reminded of an autobiography written twenty or more years ago where a college graduate admitted he literally could not read. An extreme case but you will find truckloads of graduates with degrees in joke subjects who read at 7th or 8th grade level and can't write a single paragraph without spelling, syntax, and grammatical errors.AAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242448989166177843noreply@blogger.com
