Hey Jt. YouтАЩll need to put more bait on that hook for me to bite on this thread. Ah. What the hell. IтАЩll be serious for a minute. The reason why Western public schools are failing their students is precisely because the traditional forms of pedagogical instruction and their central focus on the achievement of key core learning outcomes, have been undermined by decades of financial neglect by Government, outside interference in curriculums, and intellectual & achievement relativism.
I'm afraid you're going to have to be more specific than that. You don't think kids would benefit from learning about a peer who demonstrated grit and agency, and was succeeding as a result? You don't think we need more kids like that? Or you don't think it's a shame that he died so young?
I agree with you. Debate someone. Use logic and facts to back up your argument, not insults. It has been my experience that the left will never debate or refute you point by point. They insult and call you names.
In order to refute someone you need history, facts and logic. the left can't bring themselves to do that. Insults are intellectual laziness.
Have you ever in your life really debate someone you disagree with or do you just insult them? By debate, I mean an intellectual exchange of opposing ideas.
IтАЩm actually just responding to abusive and angry replies sent to me in response to my initial posting. As such, they donтАЩt warrant serious engagement or debate.
You don't have a good sense when You're reading. I can't speak for others, but all-a this is just hot air to me. Yours just has a rank flavor to it, most times.
The "figures" emphasized that of *all* the people who've ever read the thousands of posts here, nobody but You has corrected me on it. Most have more tolerance than You do, obviously.
It isn't just Rory. There are several people who are throwing shit at this article. Don't know WTF is wrong with them. And I'm not sure I want to know. Seriously, WTF???
Look, to be blunt about it: You tell the audience that they're "simple" minded. You tell Celia she's "inarticulate." You tell people they're losing their "grip."
WHere I come from, that's insulting. Mebbe it isn't where You come from. And mebbe You haven't been looking at this comment section long enough to tell the difference.
(Dunno what the Golden Girls would Say. Didn't watch much TV.)
His biography should be added to the required reading list for middle schoolers. We need more kids like him. What a tragedy that he passed.
Youth clearly wasn't wasted on this young man. Here's to dreams and those that pursue them
Just sent links to this article and to the book on Amazon to the principle at my sons middle school with exactly that recommendation.
Let the teachers teach.
You're joking. Teachers?

I'll give You partial credit. For the "intellectual & achievement relativism." Assuming I understand what You mean by that, which I likely don't.
Laugh out loud moment..
Funny retort.
TY Ma'am. <bowing> <crawling down on hands and knees to kiss Your feet>

Gimme a break. I agree with M. Mueller. (Tho I haven't read the book yet, it's just *gotta* be good, right?)

Hey James.
Its clear enough I feel. I kept the prose style simple for the audience
thank you so much. being a bit dense thanks for keeping it simple , you must be the next Shakespeare , just call me Hulverhead
There is only one Shakespeare Jerry. Despite what all those Cultural Relativists will tell you!
And insulting to boot.

If the boot fitsтАжтАж.
" if the boot fits " you know where you can stick it
LoL, Jerry.
A bit second-hand (second foot?) after my mine, but I like it, like it, yes I do, as Mick would say!
I rest my case!
YouтАЩre a very welcome Polecat on this thread.ЁЯЩВ
Have you ever in your life really debate someone you disagree with or do you just insult them? By debate, I mean an intellectual exchange of opposing ideas.
Have you?
Hi Polecat
IтАЩm actually just responding to abusive and angry replies sent to me in response to my initial posting. As such, they donтАЩt warrant serious engagement or debate.
What disingenuous dodge. Typical of a mudslinger.
All you are doing is stirring the pot and it's working. We were foolish enough to answer you.
Nice try turning it around like that.
You *start* with the abusive talk, and then turn out to be the victim of it. I've seen this play before. It ends with more-a the same.
And You wonder why people think Your abusive? Really?
Hi Jt
I hope you donтАЩt write тАШinciteful ExperiencesтАЩ.
You probably meant to say тАШinsightfulтАЩ. Less incitement more insight I sayЁЯЩВ
If that was a joke, I'd laugh. With You, it's very hard-ta tell.
And I spelled it exactly as it reads. Insights? Dime a dozen, right?
Its lighthearted Jt. Just Poking fun in response to angry replies.
You don't have a good sense when You're reading. I can't speak for others, but all-a this is just hot air to me. Yours just has a rank flavor to it, most times.
тАШyouтАЩreтАЩ
Figures. You haven't been around here long then.
Because I do that *all* the time, and only someone as offensive as You would feel the need to correct me on it.
More abuse Jt. Ouch. I didnтАЩt use any тАШFiguresтАЩ either. Were you replying to someone elseтАЩs post I wonder?
*More* abuse. Haha. Nice try.
The "figures" emphasized that of *all* the people who've ever read the thousands of posts here, nobody but You has corrected me on it. Most have more tolerance than You do, obviously.
Or, more likely, it's a troll.
Just because someone disagrees with you doesnтАЩt make them a troll Jon.
I agree. It's the tone of the comment, as well as at least one other you've made here.
It isn't just Rory. There are several people who are throwing shit at this article. Don't know WTF is wrong with them. And I'm not sure I want to know. Seriously, WTF???
Hi Celia. The last refuge of the inarticulate is foul and abusive language.
Sometimes 4letter words just feel good.
IтАЩd bet they do.
You've perfected the abusive language perfectly, so I wouldn't say so too much if I were You, "friend."
JT. Because I disagree doesnтАЩt make my language abusive. Thank you for being a friend. As The Golden Girls would Say
Look, to be blunt about it: You tell the audience that they're "simple" minded. You tell Celia she's "inarticulate." You tell people they're losing their "grip."
WHere I come from, that's insulting. Mebbe it isn't where You come from. And mebbe You haven't been looking at this comment section long enough to tell the difference.
(Dunno what the Golden Girls would Say. Didn't watch much TV.)
Rory, your behavior is boorish. Please, go away.
Denise. No. Happy to be hear to put a bin in your filter bubble.ЁЯШЙ
I agree Golfer. It should be bannedтАжalong with golf
A lazy joke. Mea Culpa !
