One Reaon Reason Our Schools are Failing . . .

(Nice title, you'd think I was the illiterate one - thanks Matt)

This story is amazing to me:

OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- John Corcoran graduated from college and taught high school for 17 years without being able to read, write or spell. . . In 1961, Corcoran graduated with a bachelor's degree in education, while still illiterate he contends. He then went on to become a teacher during a teacher shortage. . . For 17 years Corcoran taught high school for the Oceanside School District. Relying on teacher's assistants for help and oral lesson plans, he said he did a great job at teaching his students.

That explains some of the teachers I know.
