To help kids learn how to read, all children’s TV shows should be captioned
Also, to help deaf kids enjoy tv, all children’s TV shows should be captioned.
It would also help remove the negative stigma that seems to surround putting on captions
To help immigrant kids learn the local language, all children’s TV should be captioned. I wasn’t really an immigrant per se but my English was bad and awkward until I was about 8 or 9. Before then watching TV with captions on helped me learn what normal conversations sound like and American phrases/idioms. Basically, I wasn’t really a native speaker until I learned English from captions.
I didn’t speak English a lot as a kid, but because of closed captioning, I’m able to run this blog with ease! 🙌
Captions are also useful even for people who just dont have good hearing :)
It’s also good for those with comprehension issues. Both hearing and seeing the words written out make it easier to understand what’s going on.
“He raised the thirty years of experience, so let me just talk briefly about that. You know, back in the 1970s I worked for the Children’s Defense Fund and I was taking on discrimination against African American kids in schools. He was getting sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination in his apartment buildings. In the 1980s, I was working to reform the schools in Arkansas. He was borrowing $14 million from his father to start his businesses. In the 1990s, I went to Beijing and I said ‘Women’s rights are human rights.’ He insulted a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, called her an ‘eating machine.’ And on the day when I was in the Situation Room, monitoring the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting the Celebrity Apprentice. So I’m happy to compare my thirty years of experience.”
I didn’t want to do another liveblog of this debate but Donald was just talking about illegal immigration and he said he wanted to send “bad hombres” back to Mexico
He’s shouting down the moderator again, and this guy works for Fox News too
We’re maybe 20 minutes into the debate and he’s already said “bigly” twice
He’s basically going through his greatest hits here
Hillary suggested Trump would be a puppet for Putin and Trump started yelling “YOU’RE A PUPPET” repeatedly
He said he wasn’t Putin’s best friend and fact checkers immediately uncovered tweets of him saying he wishes he was Putin’s best friend
Apparently he thinks he won the last few debates and his strategy is still just to shout louder than Clinton
I was about to talk about his economic plan but he’s spent the last 30 minutes shouting over her and then she said half a word during his response and he yelled “EXCUSE ME, MY TURN”
Clinton mentioned his poor treatment of women and he interrupted her to say “gimme a break”
He’s saying the Clinton campaign hired actors to pretend he groped them, and claims that Clinton and Obama hired goons to incite a riot at his rally
The moderator, who I’ll remind you works for FOX NEWS, has had to say “sir, it’s her two minutes” several times
He said “nobody has more respect for women than I do” and the moderator had to tell the audience not to laugh
She pointed out he mocked a disabled reporter, which there is VIDEO OF, and he said “wrong”
He’s shouting over the moderator who is telling him to stop talking
He just admitted he doesn’t pay taxes and said it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault because she didn’t stop him
He just took back his promise to respect the outcome of the election even if it’s not in his favor
He keeps cutting off the moderator and telling him to be quiet
She was pointing out that he always claims things are rigged against him, and that he even made this claim about the Apprentice not getting an Emmy. He interrupted her to say he should’ve gotten the Emmy.
The moderator has had to say “please let me finish my question” several times
He just praised Assad again
He just referred to Syrian refugees fleeing for their lives as a “Trojan horse” orchestrated by ISIS
I think the moderator maybe needs to learn to say “no, you don’t get a response on this”
You know what I was being unfair to the moderator, he just said exactly that and trump went ahead and responded anyway
I was typing another thing but Trump just called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” for saying she and Donald, as rich people, would have to pay higher taxes as long as he doesn’t, as he has bragged about EARLIER IN THE HOUR, figure out a way to get out of it
While I was typing that he basically told her to listen to her husband on the subject of Obamacare
He just said African-Americans and Latinos have “no jobs and no education” and suggested they should vote for him to change that
The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 is building a border wall of taco trucks around the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas to protest against Trump’s racist and anti-Mexican remarks, as well as, the unfair treatment of his immigrant workers. The hotel itself treated workers horribly.
