Hooked on Phonics

Driving home today I drove past a KFC and they had a sign out front that said:

"Come in and Try our Value Manue"

Manue? WHo in their right mind went outside and spelled it like that on their sign that advertises to everyone who drives by? Also, has no one else noticed this? Sadly, probably not. What has happened to the educational system in this country.

Also, for those of you who did not watch Obama on Tuesday (you should) he made two points about education:

1. He asked every American to commit to at least 1 year of education beyond high school. (Does the school of Hard Knocks count?, otherwise this will never happen)
2. He said Dropping out of high school is no longer exceptable. (Are you going to make it against the law? otherwise this will never happen)

SInce this is not a political blog, I am not going to get into the politics of that, just rant quickly about them and move on.
