  • Did you mean to say, "the school from which you graduated"?

  • This review is for the person who wrote the posted review.

    You claim that graduates of RCHS can not spell. Possibly the school you graduated from does not know how to speak or write proper English.

    You begin your opening statement with You know and ended your review with backwoods Goobers. Two plurals without any definition.

    As a former student do you feel that RCHS has failed to teach you proper English? Do you also have a problem with spelling.

  • You know, I have been in contact, via email, with many graduates of RCHS. I have noticed many of them have difficulty spelling words properly, which makes them appear (in writing) as backwoods goobers. Is correct spelling not required in KY schools anymore?
