One reason my spelling and grammar are appalling.
I have no excuses. I do need to get to a class and start learning how to spell and write much better than I do, but below is one reason. I have yet to learn what I should have learned as a child.
It's simple really. I lived in Scranton in 1977 and was in 12th grade when I moved back to Pittsburgh in 1978. They made me go back to 9th! They claimed my credits did not count those punks! Then I moved to Zelienople in Sept 1978 and was in 12th grade again. That's more than two years in 12th grade because of freaking Pittsburgh assholes. Then once again I move back to Pittsburgh in 1982. And this time they make me take classes in all four grades at once! 9,10,11,12 So, later that year I say fuc_ you mother fuc_ing dumbass pricks and walked out! I should have graduated from high school at least four to six times! If you include each school and each time Pittsburgh Schools set me down one to four grades. Let's face it. Pittsburgh's school system kept taking away my credits and treating them like I learned nothing and did not deserve to graduate. I got angry and I quit later I got a GED.
Here is the strange part about Pittsburgh Schools not accepting my credits. I learned more from Scranton and Zelienople schools plus, Albert G. than I learned in any Pittsburgh school in any grade. This is how bad my so called history class was. I never even learned that America had a Civil War until I read about it. No school did a good job with me regarding history, but that is because under Pittsburgh Public Schools records they sent word to all schools I attended including Scranton and Zelienople that I could never learn history. BOY, WERE THEY WRONG!
DON'T SEND YOUR CHILD TO PITTSBURGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS UNLESS YOU MEET WITH EACH TEACHER AND KNOW THAT THEY REALLY ARE RESPECTING YOUR CHILD AND GIVING THEM EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO EXCEL AND LEARN!!
Not yelling, just telling.

The point. Never send a child to Pittsburgh Public Schools unless you make sure they really are teaching them or they will f_ck them up!
Think about this fact. I'm still angry about this and that was 25 years ago!
But, one can't change the past so I must change my future by taking a class or two in English.

Sometimes standing up for one makes you a leader of many.
