I understand that I am in the minority when I say I agree with Mrs. Teachers simply need to teach grammar in their classrooms. Noredink is a plague but it can be cured. Noredink is incompatible with students, it is archaic in its teaching style, and students simply do not like it. There is no better word to describe Noredink than repugnant. When a student dislikes something, they either won’t do it or won’t care while they do. This creates a learning environment where students are scared of failure because failure means more Noredink, more copy and paste questions and more frustration. They then use a guess and check system because if you click the help button the question is wrong and you need to get three in a row right in order to continue on the lesson. In a typical Noredink lesson a student will hop in to a checkpoint in an attempt to skip several lessons and finish quickly. Noredink is fundamentally flawed in its teaching style. Students do not like Noredink, but American educators do not seem to care. This program just contributes to America’s education blunders. Noredink consists of sitting on a computer and blindly attempting grammar questions. It is ripped straight from the industrial era and Noredink does nothing to change this. America’s education system is a one-size-fits-all approach to education. Noredink is simply a product of our ancient schooling philosophy. The American school system is archaic to its very core. Making every student use Noredink is like making every male wear size 10 shoes it simply doesn’t fit. Noredink simply doesn’t work for many students, and these students are forced to suffer through Noredink in order to save their grade. It is utterly preposterous to standardize a program that only works for those who learn visually. Neil Fleming, designer of the VARK modalities, claims there are 4 sensory modalities: visual, aural, read/write (verbal), and kinesthetic (physical). It appeals only to those that learn visually.

Noredink is simply incompatible with many students. Repugnant perfectly describes Noredink and the feeling it evokes in every student. For those too dull to know the meaning of repugnant, it means unacceptable or exciting distaste. Noredink is absolutely, unequivocally, and indubitably repugnant in every sense of the word.

This plague, however, does not target the body instead, it targets the mind. A plague of bubonic proportions is spreading through the United States.
