        The question of how we educate all children is a bit general. There are multiple ways to educate people no matter their race, culture, gender, social class, or financial situation. One of the many ways would be by affecting and implementing this information in places with the most people. This is similar to a computer virus in the way the main goal of hackers is to affect as many people as possible, those who have windows operating system devices get targeted the most as they are the largest population of devices used by consumers. And so, by implanting this information gradually, society can start to be educated and manipulated from a young age without ever realizing it. But this is not exactly easy as it must appeal to human nature. Humans are naturally curious and questioning creatures, and because of this, morals and ethics issues are consistently in question.

You find them in city slums and leafy suburbs, Appalachian valleys and mining towns high in the Rockies” (Pg. 1). Early on stating that in the essence of all civilizations, the education system has always been integrated.

This meant that rather than the school being managed through federal means, the state would prevent government-distrusting, and tax-pinching actions as matters would be handled locally (Pg. 4). This is one of the first signs of public unification caused by the chase of proper education offered ...

  Andy's Literacy History My name is Andy Nunez, and I am 18 years old and a sophomore. My major is Economics. My hobbies include cars, soccer, snowboarding, go-kart, paintball, and airsoft. The reason why I took this class is that it seemed the most interesting and actually something I could learn from compared to the other classes. When thinking back to my earliest experience of becoming literate, I can't really remember a time when I wasn't. It feels as if I've always known how to convey my feelings in words. As many kids once did, I grew up with nothing much but books. Being born in the Dominican Republic, even in a middle-class area, with many things considered luxuries back then, my parents never spoiled my brothers and me. And so I was forced alongside my older brother to be at the top of our classes in our studies. And so since young, I had an efficiency with grammar, as well as spelling. I do also remember when my grandmother would travel from the U.S. to visit...
