small rant abt my class
Me and my class read something about yellow fever in English class a few days ago, and we were all supposed to circle the words we didn't know. I circle the words I don't know which isn't that many. Then after we read it my teacher says to say what words we circled and she'll write them all on the board. I kid you not my class didn't say 10 or 20 words, no it was 33. I literally just counted.
And you might think "Ok well there must've been a lot of hard words". Yes there were some like, consternation and malignant. But most of these words I feel like the kids in my class should know. Some easy words are outcast, Reaction, Unsanitary, Quarantine, Immunity, and Solitary. WE ARE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. Half of those words are about sickness, one is even quarantine, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALL WENT THROUGH A FEW YEARS AGO. So I feel like by now my class should know these words because they are old enough.
