Should Americans de-emphasize speaking ability?
1. Should you expect ethnic minority group members to become more assertive and outspoken participators in small groups, even though this is not highly valued in their communities?
2. An anti-Bush website claims that, when commenting on gains in student achievement since the enactment of his “No Child Left Behind” legislation, George W. Bush produced this blooper in 2007: “As yesterday’s positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured.” How would you determine whether the quotation is a hoax or the real thing?
