    Anyone's opinions on bush aside. The absolute composure for any leader to maintain and not panic or flinch over such news in front of children and maintain themselves is impressive.

    Credit where credit is due bush absolutely managed receiving that news like a champ here. His mind must be racist a million miles a min.

    I was like... But I reread that twice how is there a type o. Im on a new smaller phone so I'm getting use to the keyboard and auto correct has been fighting me lately. So I've been extra vigilant.

    I can't believe I fucking missed that. It took me two MORE rereads to see it.

    My brain just refused to see it as a type o I guess.

    Auto correct forever my best friend and enemy.

    But the real question is do I just leave it? I think I just leave it...

    Not to open the conspiracy can of worms but this implies Bush had no reason to expect a terrorist attack on American soil, which he absolutely was aware of the high possibility of, and allegedly conveniently neglected to do anything about lol.

    It's one thing to expect something, it's another thing to hold your composure around kids when that expectation comes true.

    I don't give a fuck who you are or how well prepared you are. When shit hits the fan NO ONE is ever truly ready.

    What is going on with this reading, is this how kids learn to read in America!? With this ruler smacking and shit? It’s very authoritarian, almost militaristic, not a bit of joy in that classroom

    I'm not 100% sure, but this may be a remedial education course for kids who have been struggling with reading comprehension, which is why it's so rigid. This interaction is definitely not typical for primary school English. At least not when I was in school.

    Not to defend the abysmal literacy rates in America, of course. Standard education here is really more of a suggestion of a standard.
