Quote: rover49 "I went to university aged 40 along with a few other 'oldies'. What suprised me was the poor standards in numeracy and literacy amongst the students who had just left school at A level stage, some had to have additional classes to get them to a level acceptable to present an academic essay. While not professing to be a master of the English language or a maths boffin, I was pleased non of the 'oldies' had to join them.'"
The first unit of my friends PR degree course is 'essay writing', it's an absolute farce.
