Through their experiences there were many comparisons to suggest but some stood out more than others; such as, how each writer grew up learning do deal with their family and their English, and on that note what they are doing now to understand how their English language as a second language affects others. The first of the differences was experiences in family life. Each of the writers had very different experiences when it comes to family. Amy Tan had a term she explained as “different English” where Richard Rodriguez had a term he explained as “family quietness”. The difference in the two is that although Amy’s mother did have a hard time speaking the language clearer that the average English speaker she was able to have a language with her family that was English but they had a certain bond with it.
Although the pride in claiming to be Navajo still remains, the culture and practice of the latter seems to be what is in jeopardy. Navajo youth appear to be adapting to the new surroundings and idealisms that most American children face today that differs greatly from their parents and grandparents generations. The value placed on tradition can understandably get lost in translation but does that make the younger generation less of a Navajo? One would venture to think how the relevance of the times we live and the view of our peers is what makes and shapes us into who we are and who we

Common Core State Standards ENG 103 English Composition II Professor Nikkele Shelton October 5, 2014 Common core state standards are a set of uniform expectations for American students in English language arts and mathematics that many feel are not in the best interest the teachers and students.

What types of checks and balances are in place that can detect such problems? The Institute for Educational Sciences states that 13% of youth between the ages of 3 – 21 have learning disabilities. Anthea Lipsett of The Guardian writes, “Teacher training providers rely too heavily on schools to train teachers, Ofsted found. But less than half of the schools the inspectorate surveyed provide new trainees with a good induction into teaching pupils with learning difficulties and disabilities (LDD). Instead, inductions often focus on the priorities of an individual school so that teachers gain experience in the areas of specific concern to their workplace, but not wide enough coverage of learning difficulties to win qualified teacher status, the report warned.
Data on Somalis is limited and have been supplemented using the Advanced Query tool from the U.S. Census. In the 2000 Census, 11,164 people reported Somali ancestry. The 1999 estimate of Somali population in Minnesota was 6,000 with a range of 4,500 to 7,500. The multiplier (3.8) used in the estimates was derived from a small sample of Somali families in a Minneapolis school. According to Census 2000, about 28 percent of Somalis are between the ages of 6 and 17 (unfortunately, single year of age is unavailable).
I also don’t agree with him saying cochlear implants wont work well for young children and there better off for “healthy adults.” I believe that is would probably be easier for children to learn how to use this cochlear implant as a tool because at those young ages they soak up all information they can receive, rather then adults who are sometimes stuck in their ways. I don’t know this for a fact but this is what I believe can also be a circumstance. I do agree with him saying there are a lot of risks for children but those risks can also be just as big as a risk for adults. Like in Kathryn’s article she says you need to look at the big picture and what great potential the cochlear implant can have for children or adults. I also don’t agree with what they both say about the deaf
