son was in elementary school
he showed
me his test paper
with an A plus on it.
i tried to read it,
but every other word
was misspelled,
the handwriting
looked like
chicken scratch.
most of what he had written
was copied
from somewhere.
i asked him
how he got an A with
such crap.
and he told me they don't
care about
spelling, or handwriting,
plagiarism,
or things like that anymore.
he got straight A's
that year.
i no longer had to help
him study.
