[quote=Anonymous]This is such a shame OP, I can imagine how you are feeling.

I would consider basic literacy a non-negotiable.  I don't need someone who writes beautifully or uses complicated/sophisticated language.  But I do need someone who can communicate with me and my husband, and with the children.  I do need someone who can read medication bottles, maybe even take a child to the doctor if need be and understand directions, someone who can keep track of feeding/sleep/diaper issues for an infant, etc...  I prefer someone who can and will use email since sometimes I'm better reached that way.

I also want someone who will read to my child, practice their alphabet, teach them to write their name, read street signs, etc...

It's a non-negotiable for me.

As difficult a decision as this is it will be FAR easier to deal with before she starts then after, and you will never feel comfortable if she actually can't read and write.

I'm sorry.  But better to discover this now than a month from now.[/quote]
