Her writing skills aren't all that abysmal, relatively speaking, but she probably needs all the help with reading comprehension that she can get. It's unfortunate for her that there's really no such university major as "reading," just as there's not a major in handwriting (there might be some extension of calligraphy in an art program somewhere in which one can obtain a degree, but there isn't a degree program in basic handwriting), just as thre's no reputable degree program in finger painting, Mr. Potato Head, or recess.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-52203401492284167302014-08-06T11:36:12.007-07:002014-08-06T11:36:12.007-07:00Well, it's probably best that she gave up the ...Well, it's probably best that she gave up the nursing idea.Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-18683110988473692002014-08-06T06:35:32.202-07:002014-08-06T06:35:32.202-07:00Yeah.
