He can't make sentences, let alone make sense.<br /><br />"Today, African-American and Latino 9-year olds succeed in math at about the same level that their 13-year old peers did in the 1970s." 9 and 13 year olds are not peers.<br /><br />"When education must be, must be the great equalizer." Huh? qué sera, sera? <br /><br />"And for all of you—whether it takes you 3 years, or 4 years, or 5 years... it took me 5 years to graduate from college." Shoulda studied more and played less ball. So why the recommendation to cut $ to kids who don't complete in 4 years, or 2 for community college?<br /><br />"That's what Star Brown and millions of children like her deserves." subject-verb agreement, please.<br /><br />If you can't say something well, better to say nothing at all.laMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516322307725011313noreply@blogger.com
