THAT is the problem with too many these days in my opinion. I
continually ask what ever happened to the good old solid work ethic.
Why is it we see so many foreigners coming to the USA and
excelling in school? And many of them can't even speak English!

Recently I came upon an assignment I was marking, where the
student wrote, "Third world countries have less luxuries". I
commented on that sentence to another class, and only my ESL
student knew what was wrong with the sentence. What's worse,
one of my colleagues, and English teacher, didn't notice anything
wrong with it either (!)

So THERE!!! Hrrruuuummmmpppphhhhh
