Wes Welker went to my friend's middle and high schools -- according to legend, he can't read. No doubt exaggerated, but the rumor is still repeated at her old school. EDIT: the funny thing about reading one of these sorts of stories with statistics about how things have changed and lots of stock quotes from important deans and so on -- all you have to do to know it's all a crock is to attend a couple of gen-ed non-major classes with stupid-sounding names at any large university in America. No one with any money wants the status quo to change, so as a collective we turn a blind eye very obviously. I find that kind of thing hilarious.
