Hum, that's news to me. Private schools are more disiplened (this is proof you aren't even qualified to discuss the subject - and for God's sake don't try to claim it's a typo) and are ahead of public schools academically. I haven't heard of any teachers or other students being beaten up in private schools lately either which means students aren't in fear and there is a better learning atmmosphere.
Pulling shit outta of yer ass again.
Public Schools Outperform Private SchoolsAfter accounting for socioeconomic status, race, and other demographic differences among students, the researchers found that public school math achievement equaled or outstripped math achievement at every type of private school in grades 4 and 8 on NAEP. The advantage was as large as 12 score points on a scale of 0 to 500 (or more than one full grade level) when the authors compared public school students with demographically similar 4th graders in conservative Christian schools.
The Lubienskis also used NAEP data to conclude that regular public schools outperformed independently operated, publicly funded charter schools in 4th grade math and equaled them in 8th grade math.
Finally, the Lubienskis used their longitudinal data to find that public school students started kindergarten with lower math achievement than demographically similar private school peers. By the time they reached the 5th grade, however, they were outperforming those same peers in the subject.

It was a typo. How many times have you noticed me misspelling anything? disipline.....There are you happy? And as for the rest you can just take you're charts and graphs and stuff them since you don't seem to grasp they can be made to look like anything the person doing them desires by omitting certain data.

You really don't get it do you?
I get it more than you do. You want to talk about figures and data being changed so that would mean someone would try to inflate them. You don't get that if reported and changed someone can be sued but you can't even spell discipline correctly and quit saying it was a typo. My 8 year old can spell that. You don't get what schools do to try and improve education so kids can compete in the world with others. I do and quit saying they need to learn the basics, we are never going to get ahead if stuck in a rut.
Let me repeat this once again slowly. They pick and choose which information to use they don't change it. They aren't lying they are misrepresenting by only giving part of the picture. It happens all the time. So I guess you're perfect and have never been in a hurry typing something and left a letter out or inserted the wrong one and , of course, you have never misspelled a word either. I will be watching your posts closely from now on and if you make one spelling mistake or typo it will be made note of by quoting and being highlighted in red in huge bold print.

I am pretty good at catching my spelling mistakes and don't need you to point them out. You see I have spell check on my phone, tablet and computer and I also go back and use the little edit button that is great when typing. You should give it a whirl some time. It will help you immensely!!
The thing is that you spelled discipline wrong twice. The first time could be a typo but then you went back and spelled it wrong a second time. That is what was so funny.

Well guess what...I don't use spell check so having a one word typo in several ain't too damn bad now is it? You see, I went to school and learned to do things without crutches such as spell check and calculators. That's really some accomplishment that you can spell words correctly using your spell check I'm so proud of you...... :rolleyes: What crutch did you use to help you learn to use your spell check anyway?

You use a crutch to help you spell things and you're gonna diss me over one word in many? What would your spelling be like if you didn't use your spell check? I use no spell check, in other words I have to think about what I'm doing and not rely on something or someone to do it for me.
Now as far as being accurate charts, yes they are accurate and yes the information in them is accurate but they can still use only the charts from places that benefit their particular agenda because they aren't giving false information for certain areas they just aren't giving the entire picture. If you can't do your own thinking to spell a word no wonder you can't grasp what I'm saying.

I don't use a crutch but it helps when a word shows up and corrects it if the word is spelled incorrectly! It is as simple as that. I actually happen to be a very good speller.
You are so wrong about anyone changing graphs and charts because like I said no education department is going to be be caught having false data and get in trouble for that. Hard for you to understand that isn't it?
oh, so you don't even have to check to see if a word is spelled wrong because it's done automatically for you.......Well isn't that special. How do you know if you're a good speller or not if your words are automatically corrected? Doesn't that mean you don't have to think about it?

Nope. I don't have to think because it only will correct a word if it is spelled incorrectly and since I rarely misspell words I don't have to worry about it. I would explain how autocorrect works but it is above your intelligence level. The graphs and data isn't skewed but we are still waiting on data from you! Where is your data that private schools and home school kids out perform public school kids?
You seem to have hard time understanding that they can't give skewed data either since it would be a school departments ass on the line.

One error because I'm hurried and distracted and I'm nailed to the cross for it and you say you have no problem spelling but yet you use auto correct to make sure you're spelling correctly.....hum....I'd say you're not too confident in your spelling if you use auto correct to back you up. Why bother to find out if I even have the option of auto correct if I haven't used it in all these years I don't figure I need it now. What I have underlined in your post is exactly what I'm talking about Purplelady, no one has to think anymore because of all the crutches available to do their thinking for them and they aren't even aware of it.

Obviously, you have no clue how autocorrect works because it only hits on a word if I spell it wrong and corrects it! The times that has happened has been very rare! I am very confident in my spelling abilities since I always made A's in that subject. Like I said, autocorrect and how it works is above your intelligence factor. We all know you haven't shown data like was asked and who can't think?

You're the one using it to make sure you spell things right and I'm not using it and have one misspelled word in many and I'm the dumb one????? Do you realize that makes no sense what-so-ever? Why do you use it if you're so confident? Evidentally you do misspell words occasionally and thought you needed it or you wouldn't use it either.

Because on a tablet and a smart phone, it is a feature that is installed and cannot be removed. I don't have to check my spelling! Like I said it only hits if a word shows up wrong. For instance, if I spell grammar, it will often pop up words very similar to grammar.All technological devices these days have them and not many ways of getting rid of them. I don't see the need to explain autocorrect to someone who doesn't understand how technology works and the devices that they are placed on! I am very confident that I probably could out spell you any day of the week and not need a device to do so! It is not anyone's fault that your devices don't correct spelling mistakes or that you would have corrected your spelling mistake since there is that little edit button. That is what most of us do!

Spell check and autocorrect are two different things and yes, you can shut autocorrect off if you know how because some friends of mine have smart phones and have theirs shut off. I do not have a smart phone or iphone by choice not because I don't know how to use one. I do have a cell phone which is carried in the car for emergencies. If people want to talk to me they can call my home phone and if I'm not home they can leave a message. I have a digital camera to do videos and pictures and when I get home I plug it into my pc and take them off. If I'm online I'm either on my pc or my laptop so I have neither spell check or autocorrect and don't want, or need, either one.

You cannot shut autocorrect or spell check off on my phone or my tablet, I have checked and it is not allowed on that feature plus my cellphone is our landline. . I type and don't pay attention to either one of them because like I said it is rare that I make a spelling error.

Then you're admitting you do make them occasionally I take it. So it is ok for you to make a spelling error occasionally but if I make a typo because I'm hurried and distracted I'm dumb but you're not even though you have a device that corrects yours for you? Well aren't you just too special?

I also can go back and correct my spelling error using the handy little edit button that is on here. Now, see how easy that is and that way I corrected my mistake before anyone else has! See how that works! You seem to have a hard time understanding that the device doesn't catch all spelling errors so I proof my spelling and correct those mistakes if I made any! That is why, the edit button is handy and yes, I am special because I am that good! Jealousy doesn't become you!

So you can even correct your mistakes you never make with a handy little crutch on the forum huh? I guess you haven't found the button to correct the error you made in this post though. Oh wait, there isn't one for that, or maybe it was next to that handy little spell check button you told me about and you didn't see it. I'll give you a chance to proof read and find your error before I correct it for you. Now if it isn't an error you can explain why because I'm sure, with all your knowledge and experience, you know. Anyone else may feel free to point it out if you would like.
As for the jealousy thing I do have a question. Why should I be jealous of you because you use crutches to help you spell? Are you sure it isn't you who are jealous because I don't and still make few spelling errors or typo's?

No mistake in spelling but that is okay. I am sure you thought I spelled helmet wrong or Illinois. Why would I be jealous of someone who refuses to get with the times, common core and things that will help our kids! You need to understand that common core is here to stay same as making sure our teachers are well prepared to do their job!

I didn't say it was a spelling error. I'm sure Ex, BoD, PH, or Locutus would be happy to correct it for you if you can't find it since they're always so glad to point out HH or my mistakes.
As for common core you still have not explained to my satisfaction why making something simple into a complicated jumble of crap is better. Sure it looks impressive on paper but why take all those steps to solve simple problem? To me that doesn't make the kids any smarter it just makes them take more steps to arrive at the same conclusion they could have arrived at using less steps and, therefore, taking less time. I'll choose the person who can figure out how much insulin I would need to bring me too before I go into a coma using the short method before I'd pick one using the common core method.

No, you made the claim of a spelling error and not grammatical errors. I make those big dea!. No device is going to correct grammatical errors but your claim was spelling. Everyone under the sun makes grammatical errors. Yes, it has been explained that kids who can't get the basics, often can get the higher stuff taught to them. Kids in kindergarten are being taught Geometry and Algebra. Why? To teach them to compete with kids abroad. We may never be able to really compete with them but we need to try and get them where they can compete. I have explained that my 13 year old son couldn't get the basics of Math and no matter how hard my husband and I worked with him; his brain isn't wired for basic Math but he can do Trig Algebra and Quad Equations. I can't even do those and you do realize that we use that type of Math everyday!
You want to keep kids in a rut and they are never going to be able to compete if we don't get with the times.

By the way, it would be myself that would have to catch the grammatical errors and I don't, you didn't make the claim of those. Like I said everyone under the sun makes those and it isn't a device that would correct those but the person making the statement. If I had wanted to have been an English major, I would have gotten my degree in that, I didn't. I chose Social Sciences instead!

What frustrations? I have none, life is great and we are still waiting on data for you to show how common core doesn't work and your so called data that private and homeschooled kids out perform public school kids!
Now, you made the claim that I made an error but you didn't say grammatical error, and everyone makes those, had you made that claim I would have said yes, I make them every day, so what? You made the so called claim of spelling errors. Does it suck when you know you can't admit that you didn't allude to which one? I am sure in your infinitesimal mind you don't see how wrong you are!! By the way, I could point out the grammatical error that you made but why should I?

Well howdy stranger. Where the heck have you been? I know we dont always see eye to eye on things but I miss ya when ya don't get on for a while.
As a person that likes to put his thoughts into words, I tend to type at a very rapid pace. This means I can at times, overlook misspellings and grammar mistakes. I know this about myself and use the tools available as an editing process. (Yes, I typically re-read everything I post; preferably before posting and sometimes afterwards. I hate misspelling and grammatical mistakes with a passion, so I try to correct myself as best I can. I am not always successful).
If this is a crutch then so be it. I prefer to call it the proper utilization of technology to impose adherence to humankind's rules of communication.
The fact is, this personal process I have developed came about as a direct result of my college years. I at first struggled with putting my thoughts to paper, but discovered that writing them out, then editing them afterwards, took less time than trying to get it right the first pass through. And I became proficient at it in short order so it is quite natural to me now, and spares all of you the mental anguish of trying to make sense of the gibberish my initial efforts can sometimes become.

That's all well and good but you also don't belittle a person who makes one mistake, whether it be a typo or omitting a letter, and call them stupid. If I were composing a business letter or something of that nature I would use the spelling aide available in Word or whatever program I was using and most probably the setence structure aide to make sure the coorespondence looked professional but for a forum I don't feel the need to go to those lengths. I am usually multi-tasking when I'm replying to something here and don't feel the need to be perfect constantly. Life is too short to be sweating the small stuff so why berate people for making one mistake then brag because they use a tool to make sure they don't and call me lazy for not doing so then go on to tell me I don't even have the intelligence to use one? This is a place to have fun, give an opinion, and interact with people not school. You compose some amazing things PH and I understand why you want them to be professional but I'm just replying to posts and therefore don't care if they look professional which is why I use ain't, gonna, and leave the "g" off the words that end in "ing" all the time. I just flat don't want to be professional all the time and there's nothing wrong with that. It isn't being lazy or stupid it's being human and relaxed for a change. You'd be surprised how much simpler life becomes when you get over the feeling you have to be 100% on and impress people constantly. I got over that about 15 yrs ago and it feels great. :wink:

Very well said, I have found that if you want people to believe what you are conveying than you will do what it takes to make yourself sound believable and write that way also!

I'll respond by saying this to you, as was said to me back in high school by a school administrator whom I admired; "Perception is reality to 99% of the people. To them their perceptions of you or your situation
is the reality, so one must make every effort to ensure your words and actions provide the perception(s) you desire." . . .
I'm just a laid back person who doesn't want to have to feel like I'm under the microscope constantly anymore. I had to be that way for too many years and I'm just over it. I don't figure one letter missing out of a word because I'm distracted and in a hurry is the end of the world or a reason to call me or anyone else stupid and belittle them, it's only a mistake. I admire people like you who can put their thoughts into words so well and wish I could also do that but that's just something I never was good at so, yes, I may be misunderstood at times but, hey, just consider the source and I'll either figure it out or I won't. Laugh with me not at me I guess is what I'm trying to say.
