If this person is truly 17, they are trying to present themselves as an adult conversing with adults. There are seeking a dialog. Attempting to use language to fit in. I don’t think the expectation is that every word will be attacked and analyzed. There is an assumption that we’ll look for the meaning.
If you re-read the first post, he shared *his* experience and asked for input and other thoughts. He never claimed to be superior or all knowing. His point was that concentrating on passing the WASL was leaving students ill-prepared for higher education. At least in his case. And that without self-education, he would be floundering.
It seemed he was just questioning if there was a better way. Why all the personal attacks? I still think it’s a good thing that he’s trying to converse. Why can’t we try back? And Caduceus, I’m very fat because of illness not allowing me to exercise. I don’t eat junk food. I look fully functioning when I’m out in public and am someone you would assume to be lazy. I am not. So be careful who you judge. I’ll stop defending you :)
