Comment on Failure is only deferred success by Eva Kolosiek

I s’pose this rules out “flunk”, “screwed the pooch” & “under-achieved”. Does this mean 1 can no longer be fired? Now, they’ll just be “de-hired”, “employment-challenged”, can’t be downsized, as that has a negative connotation, so they’re “laterally moved” from the ranks of the employed to the extended-vacationing w/o pay or benefits?!? To “not fail” implies success, so I reckon they’d be succeeding in incompetence, ineptitude, etc. Hey, THAT explains a lot about the Obama/Biden administration, as those 2 are experts in those subjects!

I just wanted to say that some people are put through more of a struggle than others, especially minorites. A minority could be in the same situation and someone of the majority and have more struggle than the other. Believe it or not, race is still a big problem in this world. Also, for later preference, we don’t like to be compared to “fucking purple”. The race may be called “Black” but it doesnt mean we like to be compared to colors of the rainbow. I’m sure you don’t either. I don’t want to be that person, but your grammar and spelling was driving me crazy so I had to comment. Also, I’m 18 years old and half black and I can type in proper English.

I think it makes a person sound uneducated if they speak Ebonics, slang, “REV-Redneck Lingo”. What happened to all the English classes which taught us to speak properly? I don’t care what a persons color of skin may be. If there is an attorney who spoke slang of any type I would not take him serious and avoid him/her at all cost. I correct my children all the time because we live in a town where we have Ebonics and Country Slang. I want my children to be able to say Wash not Worsh! Ick so sloppy!

Comment on "Extreme Makeover" sued over suicide by Mary Bryan

This was tragic. I can’t believe you would say the sister was stupid. What about ABC raising distraught people’s hopes only to crush them and push them over the edge to suicide? To say you wouldn’t react that way is easy when you haven’t been through whatever pain that woman faced. You are heartless, all of you.

Comment on Before you send your child back to public school, there's something you should know by Geneva

I left teaching because of things mentioned in previous comments. I realized that textbooks, which are costly, are written not to exhance learning but to impede it and that schools, at least public ones, are more concerned with test scores than learning. Luckily, I went to a segregated public school in a small Texas town where our teachers, because they were black, could not get the college jobs they deserved and were some of the best public school teachers I’ve ever learned. Of course, this was in the 1960s when there was still cooperation between home and school and teachers were revered the way they are in Asian countries. I am a professional writer because I had a seventh grade homeroom teacher recognized my talent and my high school English teacher developed it. Our test scores at the “colored school” were consistently higher than those at the white school where some if the teachers never attended college and I always tested way above grade level as did many of my classmates. My high school standards were so high, I was only the second student in its history to make straight As. Now, students in the public schools where I live are on the honor roll but can’t read. I taught children to read as a second grade teacher and now run an after school program where I’m teaching a teen with autism to read based on his musical interest. It’s not difficult to teach reading, math, science, history, grammar, or spelling. It is often difficult to motivate students. That’s where good teachers excel. However, schools now make it difficult to be a good teacher because of all of the testing done today that has little to do with learning and everything to with funding. I think smaller class size helps because it allows teachers time to individualize learning. However, infant (elementary) schools in England once had as many as 60 students in a class and with parents volunteering to work with individual students and small groups were able to assure that every child received instruction. Parents aren’t welcome in most American public schools these days. I am a former public school teacher and retired three years ago after working for twenty years with children and adults with developmental disabilities in a county agency and as a newspaper reporter and freelance journalist parttime. But I advocate homeschooling. My nephew was homeschooled this past school year abd I had the pleasure of working with him while his homeschooled teacher (my mother who was also my Kindergarten teacher) was on vacation for two weeks last fall. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had as a teacher. His eagerness to learn and engagement as we explored his favorite subject, science, which was also one of my undergraduate minors. Now, I work parttime with a private agency and fulltime as a writer. I’ve written a number of curriculum guides for staff working with individuals with developmental disabilities. I’d love to write learning material for schools, but unless the lessons accommodate the current mandate that no one can fail, schools won’t purchase the material. Failure is not option, even when children can’t read, write, or compute. And critical thinking us completely out of the question.

As a Negro male I think it is offensive that people of my race can sound so stupid. Before you start in on my use of Negro there are only three distinct races Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. No such thing as African American, and how do blacks know they all came from Africa? I am an Negro American and have never been nor have I wanted to live and associate with Africa. Look at much of Africa and their culture today it hasn’t changed in thousands of years. I didn’t grow-up as an African but as a black man in Louisville KY, born in 1950, to American parents, as were my grandparents.

“The English language is one of the most complex languages to teach people.”

You got to be kidding, when a child grows up in a home they aren’t studying a foreign language it is the words they hear mom and dad speak then repeat them back. No studying to it, blacks have no EXCUSE, they have been two hundred years and still don’t know English, GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK. Blacks need to grownup, but people like SOME HERE are not their friends, because they make liberal minded excuses for stupidity thus holding them back. My mother would have beat me to death if I had spoke Ebonics. I’m not a smart person by any means and grew-up around ignorant talk like ebonics but my mother would NOT allow it in our HOME, God bless HER memory.
