In the article "BACK TO SCHOOL" written by Gary states that elementary school English teachers don't think about what curriculum students are taught, they just teach what they are given.

• Elementary school english teachers just give irelivent vocabulary word for students to learn.
• Near the end of the article Gary tells us that the high school now does a word of the day program and uses it in context, this helps to eliminate out of the blue words.

• "While I was alarmed by the lack of consideration given to context and meaning, two pillars of vocabulary development, my experience at the high school was even more horrific." -Gary "BACK TO SCHOOL"
  

The Fedral Gvernment's in the Clouds...

The article "The Federal Government's in the Clouds" written by suscribefire, chose a miss leading title.

• When I first read this title I thought that the article was about the government keeping secrets and day dreaming.
  
• Most people don't actually read the article and just get the information from the title.
• This is important to me because it shows that beloved authors are not as good as we think
