Well, I will say it. This is COMPLETE bull manure.

Having graduated from college, I can say that there is no way that you can graduate from a legitimate college without being able to read and write. It is just NOT POSSIBLE. There is NO WAY that you could get away with cheating enough to get through. How did he get through proctored essay exams. Did he pass them out the window to a friend EVERY SINGLE TIME? My exams in college were essay about 90% of the time. He couldn't have cheated in every one of them.

This guy is making up this story to sell his books, pure and simple.

The National Teachers Exam (covers all subject matters and then a specialized section for your are of certification) is so closely monitored to make sure no one teaches. Now, I don't know if it was required when he started teaching, but I have been teaching 10 years and it had been required for some time then.
