  • I’d like to remind everyone here that, while he was laying the groundwork for the current political climate of the U.S., he had 3 daughters and two wives. He’s old enough that the upper part of his left leg is paralyzed due to polio.

    We are seeing a resurgence of measles, thanks to men like this — who got to live full lives while fucking us all over. Who knows, maybe we’ll see one for polio!

    Cheer for his death if you must, he has already won.

    A few things:

    Words mean individual words

    Correct, we have another word called ‘letters’. As it pertains to this instance, when you take the letters of the word ‘apple’ and rearrange them alphabetically — they are no longer a word. Unless you would accept aelpp as a spelling of apple.

    1. I sincerely doubt this is the first time this child has seen the term alphabetical order, I would be inclined to think the child is a clever smartass depending on the individual.

    2. Either way, the situation is very simple to handle without breaking the childs self esteem.

    ‘I totally understand why you came to the conclusion you did, and you did write the letters in alphabetical order! However, the instructions say to ‘write the words in alphabetical order’. Try again, I bet you’ll get 100%!’

    The child is most likely just wrong. Teaching them to think critically about their failures is not a problem. Treating them as if failure is some pit they need to forever keep from falling into definitely is, and not helping the child learn to navigate failure is infinitely more detrimental.

    Edit: Nothing is more aggravating than being challenged by bleeding hearts who don’t have enough blood left for their brains. Especially when I take the time to break down why their misplaced empathy is wasted only to receive zero response. Cowardly behavior, truly — children will be left anxiety ridden and logically broken if exposed to your methods.




  • Write the following words in alphabetical order (the order that they appear in the alphabet).

    This is not a neurodivergent solution, this is simply incorrect — the instructions are clear. You can try to rationalize why it somehow is correct, you are also wrong.
