Grace, in this public forum you write, "...There was used as an adverb..."

All this concern about proper and formal manner smacks of elitism--ways to discriminate between them and us. I am afraid that this kind of distinction leads one to kick others while they're down. This is not an association that I enjoy.

I can only guess that you are a right-wing fiscal conservative, trying to convince others not to pay (any) taxes for the education of the untouchables. No matter how effective public education is, there will always be something to complain about. I support your right to voice your concern, though I deeply disagree with tactics that harm those with the least in order to save bucks for for those with the most. I suspect that this is the deeper agenda--cut funding for public education so taxes go down.

As I've said before, I've studied the research objectively and am certain that educational practice in the public classrooms of California is much better now than ever. Is it good enough? Maybe not, but it's improving.

I am sorry that I don't have the time or energy to respond in full to points you have made. And yes, I realize that as J. Derrida said, "It is the ear of the other that signs."

Best wishes
