Ben Carson, as a child was required by his mother to go
the library every week, check out a book, and give her a
written book report. He and his brother did this for years.
It was only after he had graduated from college that he
found out his mother was illiterate, incapable of even
reading the reports.
Oh, did I say that Dr. Ben Carson went on to graduate from
medical school and become an internationally famous neonatal surgeon?
Opps! Did I fail to mention that Dr. Ben Carson came from an
urban black family?
Values trump education everytime, but a values enriched
education is best!
I'm guessing from your anecdote that Dr. Carson went to *gasp* Public School?
