What I mean is that I am anti people taking the word &#8220;literacy&#8221; and placing it after another word simply to make it sound more important or &#8220;21st Century.&#8221; The other day I read something where &#8220;attention literacy&#8221; was used.

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s be honest about something. We continue to perpetuate a culture that believes an individual is born with some inherent trait that allows them to be &#8220;good&#8221; at Math. We even talk to kids about how well they do in some subject areas as opposed to others. This is all straight bunk. Even worse, we [...]]]></description>

First off: it probably wasn&#8217;t all that important to begin with. Does it worry me if students don&#8217;t retain important information and big concepts from year to [...]]]></description>
