I'm rading messages in the order they come in in, which is from the bottom of my screen up. (Is there a way to reverse that? When I hit ""previous " it gives me the next message, that is the oone that came after, not previously to the one I am reading. It is confusing as hell) anyway, this was a message from the SW list; (part of it) >From: Lorraine Crespin >Wow, lots of conversation about the pledge of alligiance. >When I yaught younger children in past years i did not bother to teach them >the pledge of allegiance. Why? Because it is such an abstract concept for >the >young ones and really requires the teaching of what it means. ... >The teacher before me had taught the pledge in English Sign. I myself >do not sign the pledge in English but rather in ASL. ...and I agree with >Nancy, that the majority of students do >not understand it. There are many underlying concepts and signs used that >the >students do not have an understanding of. Also some of them did not even >know >what the United States of America was ... ###that is so sad. and then here is Miah, who can hear, and he doesn't know who MAo is,,,,, sigh... |
