LETTERS, Page 6Corporate Classrooms
More power to the corporations for trying to enhance employee
literacy by providing classes in basic reading, writing and
arithmetic (BUSINESS, Dec. 19); someone must take up the slack left
by our school system. But as for workers who have difficulty
understanding their employer's manuals, I'd say the fault isn't
theirs alone. As a technical writer and editor, I am constantly
amazed at the incomprehensible texts written by managers,
technicians and corporate trainers. The need for improvement
reaches far wider, and higher, in American business than you
describe.
