All valid skills, Soul! ✅ We were taught proper English along with multiplication, division, algebra, etc.
When I think of young people today, I often am sorry that they were not taught by their mothers (or secondarily) by their teachers in school to respect their elders.
When we were in school, we would never have talked back to our teachers or shown them any disrespect. I see it so much today and it appears it is getting worse. I think we may have lived in the best of times...
