You learned chemistry and probably calculus in high school. How about we put you to the test? How do you think you’d preform? No, not everyone did learn how to write in school. I didn’t know that ‘you’r’ isn’t a word until I enrolled in community college and was lucky enough to have a professor who spent hours with me, one-on-one, teaching me the basics, basics which i didn’t learn — for many reasons — in school. Now I can write a pretty decent academic paper. Woo?
