Cooperative Learning II _ Parenting
I believe that parents have a non-delegable duty to ensure that their children acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to be successful in life. While our educational institutions may define it as their Mission; we must continue to regard it as our sacrosanct duty.
As you know, I was born with a bible in my hands. When our first child was born, we changed-up the paradigm; placing a copy of Webster's dictionary in his:
Words convey meanings; ignorance to which, we cannot afford.
Take the "N Word" for example; it has been in most standardized dictionaries, as well as "part n parcel" of the English lexicon for decades. Those who suggest otherwise are simply disingenuous individuals.
And as you know, the mere inclusion of the word (in the dictionary) both cultivates and re-enforces its' use.
