Education & Reference - 27 October 2006

Am I the only one who thinks that education is the answer to most of America's problems. If the government would invest more money to educate its population, things would change drastically. Look at Japan, their education system is top notch and it shows. Education is an investment. While it may not be cost effective now, but in 20 years it will pay off. With smarter people we will be able to make better business decisions. We can help those in poorer neighborhoods and give them more job opportunities. We can better pay our teachers and make teaching a more competitive market. Everybody can remember at least one teacher that inspired them, and what a difference that makes. Just imagine what we could accomplish with better education.

I was watching a movie in my class called "The Big Lebowski" and my teacher gave us an assignment and he asked the class this question, "Notice how the dude tends to repeat language used by various and social figures in the film(i.e when he borrows "This aggression will not stand" from the President Bush). What might the film be saying about language and context? How does the context for a given phrase help determine the language's ideology?

I am having trouble getting my little girl to potty train. She is 3 1/2 years old, can use the potty, but will only use it when it suits her. I have tried everything from bribery, to letting her wear big girl panties, to begging her, and nothing has worked. She just will not give in and use the potty all of the time. Help!

My son who is 10 years old is trying to come up with some sort of petition to extend their recess. This year they had the children start scool 15 minutes early and they are leaving at the same old time but their recess has been cut to 15 minutes instead of a half hour which makes him and other children upset. In his school they changed from having recess after lunch to before lunch. My son and others are upset and came to me for advice. They want to know what they should do to make the school listen to them does anyone have any serious ideas? Thanks in advance.

Why oh why, do Americans (and I mean ALL Americans without exception) not know that the object pronoun is not 'em. It is 'them'.

From George Walker Bush down to all echelons of American society, do they use this abomination of English grammar.

You hear it in American movies, on TV and just everywhere. We know that they know it is wrong, because in the printed word they spell it properly.
