putting time into researching numeracy as well. A student forwarded me
this clip, it is from a B&W television show, but I do not know its
name.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=904562313-15062007>On another path, the self-deprecating way these
Kentuckians pass the video around because it is funny, even though the tag is
intentionally labeled to degrade us, and give those outside of Kentucky a
negative view of Kentuckians... why do we intentionally set ourselves up to be
labeled ignorant?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=904562313-15062007>And one more thing to notice, how dissimilar are the
"incorrect" mathemateers from our ABE students? In my experience it seems
that it is not that the majority of students do not know how to apply
information they know, it is that apply it incorrectly... early misconceptions
in both math and reading become amplified and detrimental to the adult as they
move through life.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
