Harry Paidas: Communication skills are needed to earn respect
Harry Paidas
Special to The Alliance Review
I was an English major who, during my career, taught the language at every level to generations of students.
Through the years I encountered some rather ugly abuses of the language, but I feel I helped more than a few students see the error of their ways to go on to successful careers armed with outstanding communication skills..
This current generation however, may pose the greatest challenge of my lifetime. In addition to a language gap, there seems to be a respect gap. Fortunately, I retired just in time.
