Looks like Schiffty to me. Then again, the clip is short and I don't know him personally. Yet. even the gait w/the slight slump of shoulders looks Schiffty.
Oh man David Wynn makes my head hurt.
Umm, I zipped through those SRA booklets halfway through first grade. From then on, I brought my own books and hid them inside of whatever book we were supposed to be reading but which I had already read. There were no GATE programs in my small-town school, although they did bump me a few grades up during reading class. I remember reading Ivanhoe in fifth grade, FFS. /t
IDK I'd say they were great, but they sure did allow a kid to work at his/her own pace w/o having to endure the sound of others being tortured to read aloud when clearly they could not.
I have thought about Nancy's snakey "fuck me" clap at the SOTU from time throughout the Impeachment hearings. And I have wondered if it is possible if Nancy could've flipped, clandestinely. No real sauce on that, but I do wonder…
Well, I never cheated, and frankly, was too self-absorbed to notice if others did. But I did feel sorry for the kids who struggled, although I never, ever, thought I was "smarter" than they. Smarts come in different packages, after all, and to this day, I'd rather interact with people who possess common sense over book smarts. I just had a gift for reading from the start, maybe because I was read to every night as a toddler, IDK. But when phonics were formally taught, it was like the last piece of a puzzle coming into place. Reading saved my life in many ways, has taken me to places around the world without ever having to leave my bedroom.
p.s/ I am not short.
Oh wow I just remembered this is Superb Owl weekend.
Wrong, I do not have a reddit account.
