You can't disagree with fact. Either bring proof countering what I said, or be quiet about it. Don't sit there saying I'm wrong without backing. I've provided suitable counter-arguments to everything you've said with nothing in return.

Disagreement is nothing more than you ignoring fact, at this point.

Who said anything about FIRST grade? I said at a younger age. Why would people my age, early 20s or late teens, need to gain reading comprehension? It's something you learn IN school from SPECIFIC instructions.

They don't have comics in school because they are not written to help you with essays. That isn't because they CAN'T, it's because they're not WRITTEN to. How utterly irrelevant.

"They don't help with reading comprehension, teaching you how to write essays and such.". That's your implicit argument here, and it has zero relevance. They don't need to teach you how to write essays...what a silly point.

Furthermore, books don't really teach you how to write essays. Teachers do, or you learn by yourself. You keep putting the cart before the horse. First you say that it's impossible to get into comics if you know nothing about them (Despite the reason you'd get INTO comics being to learn), now you say that you learn READING COMPREHENSION from books?

Here's the deal; you're wrong. You claim comics don't aid reading comprehension, but they can as proven. You say they don't help in the sense that they do not aid you in the writing of essays, true. Not because they cannot, but because they are not written to. I know people who have written papers on Watchmen, for example. The medium gives back whatever you put into it.

Please arrange your thoughts, arrange your argument and then come back. If your next reply has nothing of value, I will ignore it and continue with this thread.

Yeah, precisely what I thought.
