The scene at the make/cut lists sign gets to me every time. She did a great job portraying scared and nervous, swaying and frantically looking across the pages, on the verge of tears, bringing out that child like fear of feeling guilty for just not knowing how to do something you're expected to know how to do. She feels bad for something that wasn't her fault. I can't place an exact memory but her expressions and body language resonate with something in my childhood.

I love the two girls in this scene, but the way the guy softened after he realized what was going on is also just such a nice addition. He wasn’t being nasty or mean - he made an assumption, and upon seeing he misunderstood what was happening, he gave a smile and a reassuring nod to welcome her.

I also liked how Madonna helped Shirley read. Yes, even though she read and Madonna helped her read the trashy romance novels, Shirley was reading. Bravo, Madonna!!!! The girls were on her for helping Shirley read them, but the point was, she was reading!!!! Reminds me of my Grandpa reading to me "Popular Mechanics", "National Geographic", and "Guns and Ammo". I told Dad the story of the. 357 Magnum and he was concerned about me reading about that. Grandpa just said, "She's reading isn't she? You just never mind!". Dad just smiled, understood, and let him read to me from the magazines. Warms my heart everytime!❤

I remember that scene. Evelyn Gardner was shocked to hear Shirley Baker reading a steamy romance novel, and asked Mae what she was giving Shirley to read. Mae Mordabito told Evelyn that the important thing that mattered was that Shirley was reading, and shooed Evelyn away on the bus. Shirley was intrigued by what she was reading, but didn't put the book down. She must have somehow liked it. It was a good thing Mae DID teach Shirley to read, even if it WAS a steamy romance novel.

I was a volunteer who taught adult literacy classes in the 1980s and 90s. The number of adults in the U.S. who can’t read a newspaper is just astounding. Some of them graduated high school without ever learning to read, write or do basic math. I would have adults in their 50s and 60s who relied on their spouses to read and write for them and then got divorced or their spouse died. Male and female. The goal of the classes was to have someone be able to read at 6th grade level in eight weeks. Most of the students were highly motivated and virtually all were able to meet the goal. These were adults, English was their primary language and they had no learning disabilities. There were separate classes for those who had another language as their primary or had learning disabilities. I didn’t volunteer for those because I didn’t feel qualified to even act as an assistant. I tutored thousands of people over the years and don’t regret it.

US schools just push kids through without actually knowing whether they know these skills and if you're a talented athlete, they DEFNITELY do not care whether you can read or write. My uncle played pro football and when he left the sport, he became a teacher at the university he graduated from (Mississippi State). He talks about how A LOT of the football players are barely literate by the time they get to college. It's really sad.

A few years back I had a couple of labourers working under me. We filled out out FRLA forms every morning without fail and I had to review them. The problem with the labourers was it was filled out everyday by one of them. I told them that had to stop and the other guy was to start filling them out every second day. They didn't say anything but about 1/2 hour later I was summoned to the Superintendents office and dressed down because it turns out that the one labourer could neither read or write. I felt like a bit of a jerk but then the Super threatened to fire me and I saw red. I told him that under the circumstances that man had no business on site and should he choose to fire me I would be talking to the client poste haste at which time he cooled his jets. You see, he did not want it known that someone else had to have written his safety test in indoctrination and passed or he would have been sent home. When I went back to the job I took that labourer aside and apologized since no one had told me. I also asked how he had passed the indoctrination test and he told me he had never taken one which meant that in all likelihood the safety officer himself had completed the test at the supers order.......... I just hope the poor bastard never got killed when he wandered into and area he should not have been in.

The year was 2006 and a I met a guy in his mid 20's that reads at an elementary level if that. He would occasionally read them himself, it was like sitting with your child, he would ask for help at common words like "temperature" and "custody." I usually associated illiteracy with the homeless or old people, but this was a young guy. He had a nice car, clothes, a girlfriend, he even had a job. I never mocked, always helped, and was thankful that I could read and write. ✌️

I have dysgraphia and I get the same anxiety when I have to fill out forms or even write a check. My wife or whoever is with me writes for me. It is not as serious as not being able to read these days but it was hard when I went to school in the 70's and 80's by college I was able to get computer time and use an early version of a word processor.

It was good seeing Don S. Davis in something I had no idea he was in. R.I.P.

KZfaq can now read my mind? I was thinking about Shirley not being able to find her name, literally yesterday. This scene shows true compassion for another.

If you don't understand why this scene matters and you haven't read "To Sail Beyond The Sunset" by Robert Heinlein I strongly, strongly recommend you do so. You will understand.

This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. I’m not religious but I always think for the grace of God (or proper education in this case ) goes many if not all of us. I just wonder how many times the world has missed out on something special just because another couldn’t spare a bit of kindness or give the proper dignity to another. Two of the most fundamental rights we all deserve. Stay safe all

The bitties on radio insulted the players basically because they weren't young enough or good enough to be ball players LOL.

Why don't we have a female baseball league today? Looks like fun!

@brettdeadrick524 Жыл бұрын

Invariably people would make comparison to the male version of the sport in an attempt to equate the two. Revenue would not be there. It's one of the main reasons why the league disappeared in 1954. Women aren't valued the same as men. Right now in college sports Bronny James is the top NIL $$$ maker....and for good reason..he's a 4 or 5 Star Recruit who will likely be in the NBA by 2025. The top female NIL monemyaker is Olivia Dunne....who is a good athlete..but not even an Olympic level Gymnast. Her value is that she's a pretty athlete..not a top level athlete. Yeah.. societies attitudes towards women and their value still kinda sucks.

@@brettdeadrick524 Dont forget she knows how to market herself (Dunne), which brings in more views which makes her more valuable. I'm not sure that is what they were going for in NIL, but i think your social media presence is almost as important as your athletic achievements, especially on the women's side, which shouldn't be the case.

You could argue that people would compare any female sport to a male one. And at the start the women's teams wont ever compare with the men. They don't have the same resources or training as the men's or the same pool of hopefuls to pull the best from. But over time they do improve. Look at women's football for example. I think they don't have women's baseball teams as the USA is inherently sexist. What little support you get for all female teams elsewhere that helps keep them from collapsing you obviously don't get in the USA or a women's baseball team (as one of the biggest sports in the USA) would exist.

@@Jennymlnd well there is also the softball angle. For the most part, women play softball growing up, so admittedly I’d rather watch them play softball than baseball, because I think it’s a more entertaining sport than baseball. I feel like baseball is dying out slowly in the USA. But the biggest thing is, men’s sports have had many decades of building up a following, which women haven’t had yet. American football was fledgling for many years until it took off. I think it will happen in time, but everything is based off eyeballs on a tv, or ticket sales.

I feel that a females baseball league would be considered as a possible minor league of sorts. I'm sure that women would love to do it, but like others have said, it would be extremely similar to the situation with the WNBA.
