I think anyone without an agenda looking at the video evidence would be hard pressed to call Nielson's treatment of the questioner as anything but respectful. Do you honestly see it differently?

And now, like the Wicked Witch of the West, you have a crystal ball that allows you to see that a bill just introduced is destined to become law.<br /><br />Not that that would be a terrible thing based on the trial evaluation funded by the Corporation for National & Community Service.The randomized, controlled third-party evaluation of Minnesota Reading Corps, conducted by National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, found that elementary students tutored by AmeriCorps members achieved significantly higher literacy levels than students without such tutors and that the impacts were statistically significant even among students at higher risk for academic failure.<br /><br />The evaluation showed that:<br />- The average kindergarten student with an AmeriCorps tutor performed twice as well as students without one.<br />- The average first grade student performed 26 percent better than the expected level for on-track students.<br />- Students with higher risk factors (such as dual language learners and students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunch) significantly outperformed students who didn’t receive tutoring.<br /><br />I think everyone would be better served if you stuck to the facts instead of jumping to erroneous conclusions based on your skewed presumptions and amusing yourself with astoundingly childish monthly "awards."<br /><br /> Concerned Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13011813115826601287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355813287115620632.post-53313600582474336752015-02-17T16:25:02.833-05:002015-02-17T16:25:02.833-05:00Dear Concerned Dad:

And if you're going to make a Lucifer reference, you should focus on Ezekiel 28:17, “Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.” Lucifer apparently became so impressed with his own beauty, intelligence, power, and position that he began to desire for himself the honor and glory that belonged to God alone. The sin that corrupted Lucifer was self-generated pride.
