Reading, Just How Important Is It?

We live in an age dominated by multi-media. Newspapers are passe. Books are gathering dust in moldy libraries. So what if one can't read, like this school teacher couldn't? [url]http://www.10news.com/news/15274005/detail.html[/url]

This is no surprise. In the last several days, you and Frank have been living proof that a person can be quasi successful and not be able to read.x:D

Please provide support for your charge of my ostensible illiteracy. Frank's is obvious.

A couple of us happened to catch a news story on this guy on t.v. in the lunchroom the other day. We both pretty much sat there with our mouths hanging open.....it's hard to believe that somebody could make it so far in life by cheating & faking, but that's apparently what he did until he was 48 years old.

We've had numerous conversations here over the years about the value of a college degree in relation to most of the positions we hire for, and the reality that the majority of us working here quite successfully don't have them, so knowing about this guy really adds an interesting note to that discussion.

Ray, dear, I don't think you really want to go there.

All you have to do is specify which thread and post# supports your hypothosis.
