Poor writing costing taxpayers millions?

As reported here, poor writing skills are costing taxpayers millions of dollars, because public sector employees have to be sent to remedial writing classes? Why were they allowed to graduate from High Scholl if they couldn't form a simple sentence?

Oh, I forgot. They don't teach English anymore (you know - spelling, grammer, sentence structure, etc. - everything important to composition), they teach "Language Arts" now, where the emphasis is on expressing simple "feelings", rather than complex ideas. Thanks NEA, for wasting my tax dollars through your "touchy-feely", so-called "education" programs.
