How can i be racist if its my own race? i said MOST, and there is a small percentage of us who actually are ambitious.

I think you are infact the racist one, there is def hidden racisim in ur posts and even the whole idea of this thread, your very anti foreginers if im reading between the lines correctly.

Um, it isnt all that hidden really.

lets be real here anyway, this is FACT that 40% of uni students drop out of there course before the end of the first year.

I am not surprised, if their grasp of spelling and grammar is as bad as yours. They should be weeded out before they get there.

Digging a deeper hole there!

It both amuses and annoys me that whenever someone gets criticised online for spelling or grammar, they retort with "I'm not writing a _______" Basic communication skills are a sign of good education. For someone who has passed that, there should be no additional thought or effort required to write something that is clear and free from errors.

Maybe that should put that in the guidelines and rules for ASF forums. repeated grammatical errors will result in banning?

Personally i think i still receive a C+. Thats a pass.

I think you two should start a thread about it, im sure it would generate great interest.

Don't joke, Joe Blow may alter the posting guidelines if he sees that. In an earlier thread, he said:

As administrator I am unfortunately exposed on a daily basis to the regrettable spelling and grammar of some of ASF's posters. This thread is my attempt to improve people's literacy levels and consequently improve the level of posting on ASF. Take pride not just in what you say, but how you say it.

Perhaps they lowered the standard to let you pass then?

You are correct, there are 31 pages of discussion on spelling and grammar on this thread:

Clearly a topic of interest.

That says everything about the state of our education system if you think that is a pass.

Not even close imo, and I didn't even finish year 11.

There's already been enough ammunition to start a world war. We really didn't need any more. :D

I think anything we say will fall on deaf ears. Some people just don't know what they don't know. I had one friend of mine who thought one interview for every five job applications was normal. We fixed up his resume and suddenly he got least an agency interview for every application.

As usual what you are saying makes a lot of sense. When I was at Uni, none of the now fashionable Mickey Mouse degrees existed. In those days the idea of a degree was to gain a profession that could earn you a living.

What mickey mouse degrees are you referring to? Aren't most degrees now designed to earn a living?

However alot of the degrees, that are fairly specialised but they are designed for the students to get jobs at end. I've got a who took a B. Health Sci specialising in paramedics. The degree was advertised to include tactical driving component, but when she got to the 3rd year when the driver training would be completed, it was scrapped by the uni, apparently because of a lack of infrastructure or something along those lines... in order to get any work as a paramedic, you need the driver training. So now the degree is essentially useless for getting work, and graduates will need to get external driver training before getting a job :eek:

Don't you think that rather confirms Calliope's point then? You get a degree in a particular discipline, except that when you graduate, you can't be employed in the area. I would have thought that if the Unis were anywhere near 'employment ready' then the driving course would be part of the subject. But Unis aren't really there to turn out people who are job ready, are they!

Well uni's are meant to give students theoretical basis for future employment, not put jobs on a platter for them...
