They had samples of the letters mothers wrote to the teacher. A lot were barely readable through the hick-ness, the "writing as you talk", and the total lack of understanding of punctuation and how to construct a phrase. Most were about Tommy needing to be off that afternoon to help with [some chore]. All were very polite (ah, teachers today must be wishing it was still so). Anyone who thinks humans are getting less literate or less intelligent needs to take a look at those.. even your bad 15 year old boy slang is more readable.
