   Schools stopped teaching proper subjects a along time ago. Even when I was   
   at school we were forced to read boring Shakespeare and it's archiac   
   language in "English" classes rather than useful things like correct   
   spelling, grammar, etc. These days it's even worse and they let kids get   
   away with using TXT-speak in exams.  :-(
