Hah? By Sharon

Just what exactly are you saying? Did you get this off a graduate thesis or something? I work full time as a sub and I guarentee you that if you tried using some of language in the classroom whether elementary, middle, or highschool every one will be dumbfounded. The only thing kids understand is plain English. For example, once I used the word facilitate in an eighth grade classroom. NOBODY knew what i was saying, so I had to take the time and "translate" that one word for the kids to understand.
