This is a url Zareth found when researching her essay question http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/10/columbia.noose/index.html As Tupac says: Something will never change/ that's just the way it is...". However, the "way it is" is not the way it has to remain. If the law is enforced when hate crimes are committed, then perhaps this might deter what seems to be a resurgence of racially motivated crimes.

I vaguely remember learning to read because it was such a long time ago. I must have been seven going into the first grade. I do remember that the school district was incorporating the phonics system into the curriculum. Class schedules were being split up into morning and afternoon sessions. The ideal was to make the class sizes smaller during the reading lessons. I was split off into the early bird class, which meant that I came to school early on certain days and late on the other days. My Mother wasn’t too happy about the changes. The phonic concept taught students to sound out the alphabets over and over again. We didn’t start sounding out words and rerading sentances until we had the alphabets mastered. One of the text books I remember was Dick and Jane. I remember the name of the book because it tends to be used in many jokes for those of us that are products of the sixties. I don’t remember any difficulties learning to read. My parent read to me a lot when I was young so it seemed like a natural process.
