Message: [QUOTE="01Neaggrad02, post: 4163912, member: 1761"] To quote an amazing person.... Abigail Adams, when speaking to her husband John ( a very much under appreciated and respected president...) she said "You do not have to quote great men to prove that you are one" I may be paraphrasing the quote a little... but When it comes to Meg, to use words to try to show off and not inform the general public is not something I would appreciate...... it is something that turns off the vast majority of the public and makes them think that someone is snooty and uppity. Meg wants us to think that she is an intellect. In the past few years I have heard her use words from, most like a word of the day calendar... incorrectly. While I give her credit for trying to increase the vocabulary of the people of Connecticut I do not respect her for her attempts, because again, they are forced and do not do what real educators are aiming for.... real academic improvement [/QUOTE]
