I am trying to find the source document for the lesson on possessive nouns where the phrase “The job of a president is not easy” comes from. It is difficult to maintain a level of credibility with those you are trying to enlighten when the source document (Text, workbook, etc) cannot be offered.
Hello Tom,
Not sure having the actual source would be more convincing because most progressive types would love this assignment and delight in it. They do not see the indoctrination or bias. There are many links with this particular story…and I believe there is an actual copy of the lesson.
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
