on As We Are: Illiteracy
When I was in University during the early 80's we hand wrote all of our in class finals and mid-terms. Many Professors would not be kind on tests with someone that (outside of a disability) could not spell. These were Bachelor level courses. Others let them through the system.
Students that attended school prior to the use of computers. I've learned is that, some who were able to write papers by type-writer or hand could not use a spell checker to take for granted. WE like our information now, but I find that those who have a very healthy balance with technology, enjoy books and do read...again setting aside (disabilites).
