SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS - Michael A Snyder - April 1982

Michael A Snyder

What does it mean to be educated and successful in today's world? Do you consider yourself educated? Are you on the way to success? The fact that you read this far shows that you are part of a select group with potential for real success. Perhaps you did not know that nearly one billion human beings today cannot read or comprehend this or any other written sentence. And many more have barely mastered the basic skills of reading and writing. They are lacking real potential for success in this present life. Does this mean that these people are inferior by nature? Absolutely not! What it does mean is that people who cannot, or have trouble, reading and writing, are at a distinct disadvantage. The ability to communicate in written form is an essential key to success and to true education. The fact that so many are unable to read points up a major flaw in this world's educational systems. But it's only one symptom of a major crisis-a crisis largely ignored worldwide-in modern education. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
