Touché. That'll teach me to only read the first few definitions (http://dictionary.reference.com/dic?q=cohort http://dictionary.reference.com/dic?q=cohort)
I see it now, all the way down at number 5! Everything they said about my generation was true. :)
Here's an amusing coincidence. I was a student at JJ Hill Elementary school in St. Paul, MN in the late 80s. This was the gifted/talented magnet back then, I don't know if it still is. I see you're affiliated with Minnesota's gifted/talented educational program. Can I somehow blame you for my inability to read all the way to the fifth definition? :)
- tokenadult 18y agoThe Gifted and Talented magnet school in St. Paul now has the name Capitol Hill. I don't know if that is a successor school to the one you remember. In general, I'm not sure how schools have been teaching reading in specific places in the relevant generations, but I would agree with the critics who say that reading could have been better taught than it usually was in school over the last few generations. http://www.amazon.com/Why-Johnny-Cant-Read-about/dp/0060913401/ http://www.amazon.com/Why-Johnny-Cant-Read-about/dp/00609134... http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Read-Thinking-Learning-about/dp/0262510766/ http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Read-Thinking-Learning-about... http://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Dyslexia-Complete-Science-Based-Problems/dp/0679781595/ http://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Dyslexia-Complete-Science-B... http://www.amazon.com/Early-Reading-Instruction-Science-Bradford/dp/0262134381/ http://www.amazon.com/Early-Reading-Instruction-Science-Brad...
