Talking a second language

The Department of education announced today it would take strong measures to enfoce students to actually talk to each other. Texting and twittering has become so prominent in our schools that fewer then 20% of students actually talk to each other.

" If this trend continues" a department of education spokesman said " this generation could loose it's ability to communicate through speech entirely.

Communications expert ,Richard Smith, says this is nonsense and nothing more then scaremongering . " Texting and twittering has been around for years and there is no scientific proof to support the notion it has any adverse side effects.

Social expert Lana Ling agrees. She belives texting increases dexterity and reinforces a students literary and linguistic abilities.

The department of education disagrees, stating since the introduction of text and twitter that some students have forgoten how to spell their own name or don't know how to spell without shortening it..

The move to re-introduce the three R's back into primary school and re-introduce secondary students to correct spelling and grammer will go before federal parliment when it begins it's sitting in October.

"I blame it science fiction movies." . The minister said " This generation is so obsessed with other realities that they have no grounding in this one. " "Next thing they'll be beliving is these so called UFO reports are true. They are not I tell you they are the result of some warped fans imagination who has faked them himself . Just like the moon landing in 1969.".
