Subway for illiterates
ASTUTE BLOGGERS
By JR

This story has been going around the blogs a bit in the last day or so, so I thought I might mention it here:

The Subway sandwich chain is running a writing contest for kids from which homeschooled kids are specifically excluded. Excluding a potential one million customers seems pretty dumb to start with but the stupidity does not end there. In their original promo they wrote of the "Untied" States (now corrected) and homeschoolers are described as "home schools".

And to top it off it is pre-schoolers that they are asking to compose sentences. A bit ambitious! See here and here for more. astuteblogger.blogspot.com
