Education in the broad sense, our days is very different from the way it was; Some younger people cannot even have a nice hand writing, as the PC has made it easier to type. The system is also to blame as a hand written letter is almost frowned upon in the corporate world. How many people I meet that cannot count properly? It is not fair to blame parents or even may be the individual concerned. We need to protest at the Government levels and ensure that proper education is delivered, whether it is public or private. Teaching as a profession is not as flamboyant as it was, as other sectors are made more attractive or better remunerated. Certainly not our Rotary one eh eh...
So instead of spell checkers, SMS, etc, why not go back to the roots to alleviate this new generation of alien English writers.
Oh and yes stick to your chosen path of becoming a flyboy; It is a personal goal with sacrifices that only we Rotary boys (and Girls) can appreciate and understand. Any logical person would classify us as nearly insane as a chosen career path.
