Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
Ÿou could hardly prove that nowadays, one way or the other. However, since she has written stuff with more content than that later on in her life, which is obviously attributed to herself alone, i.e. without aid, and she is said to be a genius by some
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
What I meant to say is were these hk's thoughts or just the thoughts and projections of her teacher?

Low Expectations™ are bad for everyone. That is something out of one of the NFB's main slogans (paraphrased heavily, of course ), but it didn't stick with me because of their repeating it every chance they get. What really made it sink in w
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
Def people in generel are trying to learn to write as good as possible, to make sure people understand them. Yes, it's indeed possible that a 9 years old girl can write all that.

Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
A child's ability to parse thoughts coherently is directly tied to the sorts of language and material around them.Keller obviously had a high reading level at nine, so her ability to express herself linguistically was similarly advanced, plus of course,
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy

In Australia, all students must take standardised tests in spelling, grammar, punctuation, reading, writing and mathematics when they are aged approximately nine, eleven, thirteen and fifteen. The tests aren't used to show the intelligence of the stu
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
Hi, I think a nine-year-old child can write at that level of thinking and perceiving.I remember when I was in the third grade, we were told to write ten sentences containing the words bird, flower, trees, spring, and nature. I remember having written
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
Yes, 9 year olds are capable of that, and better. Notice how it seems kinda childish in some places, but poetic in others? And how she was writing about poetry? And how this was way before the 1970s, and all of her reading material would probably have been

Well even today you do find the odd kid with brains, and brains aren't something related to sensory organs . Generally depressing though the modern world is, it's depressingness tends to be more a generalized thing, ie, governments, companies, deci
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
A ton more! Not too long ago, reading Robinhood was done entirely in old English by children! You don't expect any 9 year olds today to know what thee thy and thou are.

Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
Slj, what he's basically saying is how could someone at the age of 9 write such level of thought. Nothing to do with being deaf-blind or anything that's part of this so-called conspiracy, but the level of thought of this writing. It should agai
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
@hhurstseth405:I hope I totally misunderstood your first post in this topic.So, are you calling this nonsense, because you don't believe a 9 year old death blind girl is able to feel and write all this stuff?Are you not caring about all the visual stuff
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy
I don't know a ton about HK but I don't think there's anything to suggest she was a result of a conspiracy. Children at 9 can write that well, especially if they are lingually inclined. It's not like she had a lot to do back then lol
Re: the Helen Keller Conspiracy

I've actually run into helen keller quite often in course of my research. Firstly, the simple answer about whether a nine year old write like that is heck yes! especially at the turn of the twentieth century when the maturity level for children gene

The conspiracy would have to be on an international level... as she's well known not only in the US, but other placeas as well. And simply because you cant imagine a nine year old writing this level of thoght doesn't necessarily mean that this isn&
