  Fred Franz Former Training in Ancient Greek

  by Wild_Thing in

  has anyone been able to verify that fred franz received the minimal training in ancient greek that he claimed gave him the expertise to translate the bible?

  you would think that would be fairly easy to verify or disprove in this day and age.

  what college did he attend?

  I have a link to some information regarding Fed Franz's transcripts. Including scans of the actual transcripts.

  I am still of the opinion that he belongs in jail. He pleaded guilty ! Why are we even considering whether he is racist or not. He is a thug!

  ... well, obviously not rey (daisy ridley) from the latest star wars films.

  she's a complete mary sue.

  but, before hollywood tried to force sjw propaganda down our throats, there were lots of powerful, legit female characters in film.. here are some of my favourites .... ripley (sigourney weaver): i though this character was great.

  Still a self confessed criminal. So why release him? Nobody has explained this yet. Isn't this the whole issue here ?

  Well it is fact that he has a long criminal history isn't it?

  For example his conviction for fraud.

  In November 2012, Robinson was charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by misrepresentation in relation to a mortgage application, along with five other defendants.[48] He pleaded guilty to two charges and in January 2014 was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment.

  Interesting I am surprised that some here would be interested in leniency for a drug dealer who entered the U.S. Illegally. This man is not a good person.

  "October 2012, Robinson was arrested and held on the charge of having entered the United States illegally. Robinson pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court to using someone else's passport to travel to the United States in September 2012, and was sentenced in January of 2013 to 10 months' imprisonment.[36][37] Robinson had used a passport in the name of Andrew McMaster to board a Virgin Atlantic flight from Heathrow to New York.[38] He had been banned from entering the USA due to a drugs offence. He was detained by authorities in New York as an illegal immigrant but left the USA the next day using a passport in the name of Paul Harris to travel back to the UK"

  I admittedly have trouble relating to the problems of inner city schools. I was raised in a relatively affluent community in a area where schools where top notch. The school system I attended even had it's own broadcast tv station way back in the 70's. My only educational handicap was being the child of Jehovah's witnesses. My own children where raised in a suburban area with good schools. It sounds to me like it is not so much underfunded schools it is distracted , unprepared and unsupported students. I was looking at New York expenditure per pupil. It is the highest in the country. unsurprisingly they scored third in student performance. However the correlation between how much is spent per pupil is not directly correlated with student achievement. Look at Alaska they spend the third highest of any state per pupil. Student achievement in Alaska ranks 4th worst of any state.

  Great teacher , I find what you say very interesting. It would seem that poorly educated children grow up to have poorly educated children due to economics. In other words if you do not have education success it is far less likely for your career to afford you the opportunity to get out of deprived neighborhoods. Hence, your children will not get the best education possible. You say they are tired, unprepared, and preoccupied. How do we change this vicious cycle? I am not convinced throwing money at the problem will remedy it. I have some teaching experience, but it was limited to the graduate level with very motivated students. I am curious how you would solve the inequality of the educational experience. You have far more expertise in the education of children.
