What The Hell? Since we're on the topic of education, here's another story that's relevant.An English essay written by a British teenager in text messaging short-hand has reignited concern among teachers that literacy standards are under threat.How bad could it be? Really...
The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Monday that the 13-year-old's teacher could not decipher what the youngster had written.
"I could not believe what I was seeing. The page was riddled with hieroglyphics, many of which I simply could not translate," the teacher told the newspaper.The girl's essay began: "My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :- kids FTF. ILNY, it's a gr8 plc."Oh...bad. I know we're no where near perfect on here, but we ain't that bad. ;)
