US English

[edit]

To those who are wondering why this article is written in US English, it is because the main editor, like so many actors, does not use an "accent" when performing. I am more concerned with the message than the accent and would rather the article be consistent than not, since it is more apt to be mistake-free if I just go ahead and write. Once I'm done working on the article (meaning making edits on a regular and, especially, frequent basis), if it's so troublesome to you to see those US words in there, then help yourself, but I work very hard to write well and have been complemented on my efforts for years and in different venues, so I will continue to write as I always have. Thank you for your indulgence. Please don't let a minor detail keep you from enjoying the story. Anna Essinger was a remarkable woman. Would that all those in various countries who have a gazillion ideas and untested theories about how to "fix" education (the debates in the U.S. and Germany come immediately to my mind), and especially in the U.S., where they are wasting enormous amounts of time, money, talent and children to breed some robotic prototype of a person who spits out measurable data at every turn, could take just a few minutes to see what Anna Essinger did with her 900 pupils, many of whom grew up to make names for themselves in their own fields and beyond. The only tests I can remember reading about were the Cambridge ones at the end of their schooling. And let them note how the teachers were treated, too.<end rant/> Marrante (talk) 13:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
