I don't know about you, but I really, really get aggravated when people do NOT USE CAPITAL LETTERS?

use CAPITAL letters at the BEGINNING OF A SENTENCE. I also dislike sentences are run-ons. Is grammer no longer taught in the schools today?????

    It's the cell phones.

    People (kids usually) just type either in small letters like

    'i wanna know how to do this problem'

    or their phone setting is on a different setting, so it comes out like

    'I Wanna Know How To Do This Problem'

    Both are equally atrocious, of course, but guess what? The so-called student's focus is on their beloved cell phone rather than on their classes in school.

    Schools in the USA are under-funded these days. After all, we need to have decade-long 'wars' in foreign countries that cost trillions of dollars, right?

    (Think of former VP Cheney's Halliburton Corporation there.)

    School teachers do not make much money, and they are attempting to teach a roomful of kids who are more interested in their cell phones and the internet and video games than they are about actually learning anything.

    Drives me crazy too. I have often wondered what kids are learning in school as well.
