Would the literacy rate decrease or increase if the public school systems were dissolved or if education focused on a state level? If the public school system was dissolved, would religious schools start popping up across the country? Is it appropriate to move closer to a foreign country that may have more radical religious schools than we do, or would we be safe from it because it’s not in today’s Western culture?

I know it used to be when I went…now it seems like no one knows how to spell anything. Actually, it used to be called “grammar school” when I went, now there doesn’t seem to be the same emphasis on grammar and literacy.

I am already an elementary school teacher with a master’s degree in reading and literacy. I am in the process of learning Spanish through Rosetta Stone, and have taken it in high school and a basic college course last year just for extra practice. But, I want to be able to tutor and/or teach Spanish, too. Do I need another degree, another masters, just a certificate, etc?

I want to start a literacy adult course but not sure if it is what I need, can you help? Basically I want to have the confidence to write up a letter and to know where to put the correct symbols e.g ! ” – : ; I just can’t remember ever being taught this in school. D o you think this course would help with my english skills?
