I absolutely agree that the education system needs an overhaul. He did have a good 3rd. grade teacher and a good teacher as a freshman in high school. Middle school was an absolute waste of time.
That's good you helped your son with his education. All my relatives that grew up here and went to school can hardly spell or read. It's awful. I was educated in NC and my family looks down on me thinking I am "highly eductated"
