Kevin Ross

It is hard for me to imagine only knowing how to read your name from birth to early adulthood.
I cannot even fathom the idea of being an illiterate young adult.To me this problem should have been completely avoided.It does not specify if Ross lived with his father but I think if he had a strong and intelligent male influencing him in his early childhood this would have never happening.
Kevin Ross shouldnt have focused all of his time on Basketball.He should have spent more time on his educationand studies instead.He could have asked teachers for help instead of letting this problem get out of hand.I cant see any excuse for letting this happen.The only reason I can see this happening is that the teachers did not care,which to me apparently must have been the case.
Kevin Ross was succesfully educated by a woman named Marva Collins.Marva Collins is an american educator who uses more than conventional methods to teach.She has said a number of qoutes including."Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed" and "The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another." She founded westside preparity which has become sucessful as well as recieving a national humanities medal.
