I cannot STAND young people that don't know how to speak proper english. Don't you think phonics should be required in order to graduate? I hate to see how some of these kids do on their first job interview!
students are supposed to learn phonics in kindergarten and first grade and basically througout elemantary. phonics is the sounds that letters and combinations make. kids have bad grammer. these kids know how to speak properlly. they just dont want to because it isnt cool to use good grammer
