| Yes they can, I am just fed up with my kid's Elementary school for teaching Social Studies, Geography, Algebra, Health, Etc. before my kids know their times tables and can write complete sentences without being verbally scolded to do so. I guess I am old school, I expect them to know the basics before they learn how cranberries are grown and how cells are structured. I see stuff in their textbooks I saw in my college courses, yet the kids can't read their own sentence and realize it makes no sense.
Sorry for ranting LOL |

| Well, a while back, someone decided that teaching proper grammar was a thing of the past. I haven't had an actual lesson on grammar or spelling in school for as long as I can remember (I'm a high school senior now). The only reason I can read and write as well as I can today is that my parents started me at the age of three.
Apparently the idea is that students will learn grammar from their reading and from being corrected when they make mistakes in papers they write. I can tell you right now that this is bullsh!t, because 90% of the kids in my grade couldn't form a proper sentence in Standard Written English if you put a gun to their heads. |

Sorry for ranting LOL Kids don't write complete sentences because they don't feel like writing them out all the way since they usually have tons to write. It's not because they're not able to. If you know you have 30 spelling words to write 3 times, you don't want to waste your wrist writing every sentence completely. Don't you remember what it was like to be a kid? 
As for the scammer, he really does sound retarded.
