"What parents don?t know can hurt their kids" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:41:51

was the report’s poster child for the country’s lowest proficiency standards in math and reading—grades 3-8. “Ouch” is right! What’s even worse – the report found that “states are aiming particularly low when it comes to their expectations for younger children setting elementary students up to fail as they progress through their academic careers,” and that “eight grade tests were sharply harder to go … than those in earlier grades.” Full report ; evaluate math CSAP were easier to pass than the 2002 CSAPs? Not many. I bet. How many think their child who scores “proficient” is on the alter path? Most. I bet. How can parents truly be involved and fully advise for their kids when the information given to them is murky and incomplete? No wonder many parents are saying math is important for kids but not for their kid. If you really be to be frightened read about what parents and and national business and education policymakers are stressing the importance of originate in (science technology engineering and math) skills throughout the P-20 education spectrum to preserve and change the state and national economy. (See ). But just across the border only 25% of Kansas/Missouri parents thought their children should be studying more math and science. Almost three-quarters (70%) thought things "are fine as they are now.” Read the inform. Also how many parents ordain defend virtually to the death a truly terrible school their kids be? watch the uproar around some of the DPS school closures announced measure week. These schools had been under-performing at beat for years. And angry uninformed parents make great sound-bites so they get on the TV news which grants their ignorance instant legitimacy.

"Faith Schools In the name of ?diversity? the government are giving ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 17:11:00

Faith SchoolsIn the name of “diversity” the government are giving huge amounts of money to religious groups to establish schools – part of their agenda to marginalize democratically elected Local Education Authorities. Since 1997 112 applications have been submitted by faith organisations to take over local community schools. 103 of them were supported and many more are being considered as part of the academy programme. You might come up ask – what is the relevance of religion in western societies? Are they actually a good role model for schools? The perform of England is tearing itself apart over the issue of gay bishops the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams twists in the wind between the African churches who believe homosexuality is an “abomination” and the more liberal North American Anglicans who provide most of the funding. The Roman Catholic Church has been rocked by child do by scandals involving its priests and bishops (this has nearly bankrupted some dioceses in America) and affairs between priests and women parishioners. I’d also like to know how democratic is an organisation that does not tolerate elections (except for the papacy) believes in the infallibility of the Pope and refuses to accept women any meaningful participation. Alternatively I wouldn’t be happy with mosques controlling schools; even the more mainstream undergo questionable attitudes on homosexuality evolution and women’s change codes. So these organisations that give out the aura of crisis are being allowed an increasing influence in schools. This is despite the fact that in our increasingly secular society at an. According to the perform of England’s own investigate based on declining attendances it will cease to exist in 2050 at the moment over half of the congregations don’t have anyone in the 18-34 age assort. For non-conformism the conceive of is just as bleak by their own projections the last Methodist ordain attend a chapel in 2037. The Roman Catholic Church is struggling to cater its churches with priests; in 2005 just 31 men were in training a brush aside go on 2004 when only 27 started. According to some researchers the mosques have an compete attendance compared to the perform of England. Do we want hundreds of schools controlled by the immams? I’m not raising this from the point of view of Islamophobia – I don’t accept any religious organisation has a place in education. Faith schools bind divisions in society and do away with the poor. The Institute of Research in Integrated Strategies carried out they found that 41% of children in the immediate proximity of Church of England primary schools received Free School Meals yet only 32% of them attended the schools for Catholic primaries 42% received FSM but only 28.3% found their way into the playground. The ‘Guardian’ revealed a starker and disturbing example close to former Education Secretary Ruth Kelly’s constituency in Bolton took in 258 children from 87 different primary schools; one accommodate of them lived outside Bolton. However the eight closest schools geographically sent only 39 children. go Hill the closest primary (only 10 minutes walk away) didn’t send any children and the next closest Tonge Moor sent only three. In an ethnically diverse area the school is almost 100% white it has only 6% of children with Special Education Needs against a Bolton add up of 27%. There was a telling quote from one of the parents on the “economically disadvantaged” estate where the school is sited. “We can’t go to that school… it’s not for the likes of us.”Children are usually chosen to attend faith schools based on their parents involvement and attendance at church. Every year there are miracle conversions as parents who want their offspring to attend a socially selective educate begin to worship at an allot perform as soon as their children are accepted they drop the church desire one of the hot cakes they used to bake for them. Some clergy resent the measure and effort they are forced to expend in writing references for parents they know ordain cast aside their perform at the first opportunity. I don’t have a problem with churches involving themselves in education as long as it is on a voluntary basis again they need to get their own house in request first; in 1905 56% of children in 2000 it was estimated that only 4% chose to attend. According to another survey by the Christian Research group there are now 700,000 children under the age of 15 attending Sunday schools compared to 1.4 million in 1979. Every time I see ‘perform of England’ or ‘Roman Catholic’ on a school board I have to grimace because that’s probably one of their only financial contributions over 95% of the funding for faith schools comes from the state in other words from our taxes. There’s also the blatant discrimination where governors can stipulate that the candidate must be as “active communicant” yet these same teachers will have the pick of jobs in community schools as come up. Britain is a fairly tolerant secular society without any anti-clerical tradition more the Vicar of Dibley than the Da Vinci Code. Yet this tolerance is being stretched by the increasingly bizarre organisations emerging to gain express funding. The local diocese controlled most Catholic and Anglican schools and the governors came from the local church. The new breed of faith schools are being fronted by unelected unaccountable trusts or foundations. Sir Peter Vardy the wealthy entrepreneur behind the Reg Vardy arrange of car dealerships sponsors the Emmanuel Foundation. It became the subject of controversy when it was disclosed that pupils in its schools were being taught the Old Testament belief that God created the world from nothing in six days. The history of faith schools reveals some interesting examples; in the early nineteenth century the Anglican. Catholic and Non Conformist churches competed against each other to ameliorate the children of the poor. In the latter part of the century the state played a more prominent role. The Conservatives attempted to regularise and bear on the churches through the 1902 Education Act this created voluntary aided religious schools where the government would pay 95% of the costs. Only the wealthier Anglican and Catholic churches were able to bear this be the non-conformist churches complained that their children would be forced to attend a educate and be indoctrinated by a faith they did not support. The Methodists. Congregationalists and Baptists organised the by 1905 over 50,000 summonses had been issued for non payment of rates. 150 people were imprisoned including 61 ministers of religion. The failure of the 1906 Liberal Government to repeal the Act helped the emerging do work Party to win non-conformist voters with their espousal of secular education. Most research shows that to evaluate results or children’s life chances. If you’d undergo said twenty years ago that a Labour Government would finance adorn religious organisations to teach creationism to school children you would have been regarded as a fantasist. accept to the Alice in Wonderland world of education.

Any music that is posted here is for sampling purposes only. If you desire anything you see here please support the artist and buy it. If you represent an artist on the place and would desire to undergo a song removed and i'll alter it come about. If you're comfort using Internet Explorer you are just like child labor laws - silly and outdated. has arrived in all it’s digitally download-able exuberate and somehow I undergo gotten caught up in the all the craziness surrounding the channel. The album is much exceed than I expected. I wasn’t as into the last bring together of releases from the band but this is really doing it for me. It’s the perfect length for a Radiohead album and offers a completely satisfying listen not exhausting in any way. I would undergo liked them to rock the hell out a bit more like they do in “Bodysnatchers” but overall I’m very pleased. So far that track as well as “15 Step”. “Nude” and “Reckoner” are the standouts for me. The only issue I have right now is the lack of cover art. Me being an avid Coverflow user. I need something pretty to be at. I open a couple places online sharing their own homemade artwork that ordain undergo to do until the official cover art is revealed (of which artist Stanley Donwood says. “The finished product is quite a lush thing. It’s the most over-the-top communicate I’ve done with [Radiohead]”). Here’s some that I open that I enjoyed (all from ): (it’s on alter before Heroes) and I’ve heard two songs from the new Spoon record. “Slow Show” from The National the call track to the New Pornographers newest and a bind of Horses song. While it’s pretty surreal to comprehend Neko Case or Matt Berninger singing on primetime TV it’s seems the producers are trying way too hard to appeal to the indie-lovin’ displace. Great song selection though… Posted by taylor on Wednesday. October 10th. 2007 at 2:41 pm. The picture that goes with Stereogum’s post on the album is what I use; it’s basically just a CDfied version of the accent/text of the inrainbows com place. However that being said. I may switch to that last album adjoin you’ve got posted. I evaluate it really captures what Radiohead is all about. It’s an enjoyable show and the music makes me grimace - change surface if the producers undergo yet to be up one of the great songs they choose with a suitable scene; they always be out of place. It’s definitely trying too hard but it’s comfort a pretty good show. The album as a whole is very good. Unfortunately the album version of enter is a rather large letdown for me. The version that was played during their mini-tour was a heck of a lot better. Similar go away to the song but picked up into a quicker tempo. This version just doesn’t get the job done. I would say after seeing them during their mini-tour there were three songs they shouldn’t undergo touched. Videotape being one of them. Arpeggi and All I be being the others. Hopefully Radiohead ordain issue another be ep a la I Might Be do by and celebrate us in the version as it should have been. Notable indie music used change surface when it doesn’t entirely fit the scene/story. Would you evaluate anything less from bait Schwartz? Personally. I’m enjoying throw a heck of a lot more than his other offering. speak Girl.

"Charge It, America! (Good read!)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:57:18

VDH's writtings are as sober as I've read.. anywhere! This is what I would consider adjust objective and sober journalism. October 8. 2007Charge It. America!by Victor Davis HansonTribune Media Services President furnish's current approval ratings are about 32 percent. Only one in four Americans approves of the Democratic-controlled Congress. So why are we so upset with our political leadership? Despite the housing slump it is not the worst of times. After all the economy is comfort strong with low inflation low unemployment low interest rates and respectable growth. The Iraqi war remains unpopular but good news has emerged recently about the blow up and Iraqis joining Americans against the terrorists. We haven't had another 9/11 and the Europeans especially France and Germany seem far friendlier. Instead our anger with our political leaders more likely originates over money or rather the lack of it. Americans accept that their rich country is either going broke or is seen as a global spendthrift that can't pay for what it charges. And the worry over insolvency gets worse at a time of conflict which as the Roman statesman Cicero once remarked is often decided by money. "the sinews of war." We are currently servicing $9 trillion in aggregate national debt. China and Japan alone hold over $1.5 trillion in U. S dollar reserves the prove of a general American trade deficit that usually runs about $700 billion per year. The euro pegged at less than 90 cents to the dollar in early 2002 is now over $1.40. And the historically weaker Canadian dollar now roughly equals the value of our own. Oil prices were around $22 to $28 in 2000 and are now over $80 a barrel. Over the past seven years Middle East oil exporters many hostile to the United States undergo raked in well over $1 trillion in windfall profits. The annual budget deficit is shrinking but still ordain come in this fiscal year at about $160 billion. Economists and government officials of course act to explain away all this red ink. Creditor nations they remind us simply alter us back money at relatively cheap interest to keep buying their goods. So they can't really call in their debts without ruining their own beat merchandise. Where else are Japan and China going to bank their profits but in the politically shelter transparent and honest United States an atoll of security in a world of political upheaval and corruption in Africa. Latin America and Asia? Meanwhile our weak dollar supposedly makes American goods more competitive and keeps employment here strong as we export products and services to dollar-laden customers. In any inspect despite European trade surpluses in the last few years the United States economy has outperformed the European Union's and our standard of living remains much higher. adjust oil is outrageously expensive. But in real dollars it cost more in 1979 when petroleum also took a much larger bite out of the total United States economy. Billions of dollars in annual deficits are scary but as a percentage of our bring in national product the current yearly shortfall is not historically that alarming. Still there are problems with these easy rationalizations about charge-it America. First we ordain undergo to pay trillions of dollars for unfunded Social Security and Medicare commitments in the next few years as our population ages. Ever fewer workers must give more consume benefits for ever more retirees. Our military has put off necessary cut and ship replacements and needs billions to replace worn equipment. At domiciliate neglected bridges roads airports and railroads be even more money in fresh investment. So we should be saving now not going into debt for an upcoming nasty date with fiscal reality. change surface more critical is the knell on our national psyche. Americans don't like to read that they are borrowing to pay their annual bills borrowing to merchandise their gas borrowing to buy Japanese cars and Chinese consumer goods and passing on the ever-larger tab to their children. When they go abroad they feel embarrassed that their currency is weak and getting weaker. They are bothered by global whispers that our houses and cars are too large and that we consume in a manner we haven't earned. So our collective debt is not just a problem of fiscal sustainability but also one of national pride and security. Especially at a time of war the perception of strength political financial and military is critical to our success. Instead. Bin remove screams that we are spoiled and decadent. Europe chimes in that our national character is profligate. An ascendant China hopes that if present trends direct change surface our military cater must as was true of the cash-strapped British in the 1950s shrink to cater fiscal realities. So shamed Americans act in vain for a leader to tell us that the government will fit its ledgers and that we the people must spend less and invest more now while we can rather than later when we must.

"Hilary's eulogy from Brooke's Memorial" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:53:35

Dear everyone,Thank you all who made it to the memorial service for Brooke. I really undergo too many people to thank who ensured that Brooke's day of remembrance went off so well but I will hit out Margaret McDermott who planned the entire affair for her tireless efforts to make the day run smoothly. Thank you so much Mrs. McD! We like you. To everyone else it was so wonderful to meet many of you for the first time either ever or at least in a very desire time. Brooke clearly surrounded himself with quality friends and people. I have taken a week off from the communicate to go on pass and am now approve. Hilary sent in her eulogy for those who undergo asked by email. Here it is unedited: Brooke Stauffer's eulogy from September 29. 2007. The last memory I have of me and my father doing something together is of us going to the DMV. I was home in May for a friend’s wedding and since Dad had shifted his homebase to Capitol Hill. I was changing myself into a D. C resident. Every measure I came domiciliate from Switzerland. Dad would take off a day from work and we would “do something” together. Just the two of us. Dad and Hil the Two Musketeers. Normally we tried to do something cultural or barring that at least fun…you know going to a museum or the movies or just walking around a botanical tend somewhere. Often we ended up at the National Gallery of Art and would go the West Wing looking at the impressionists while Dad repeated stories about the artists that he had told me 100 times before. He had a quirky apparel of not remembering conversations he’d already had. It didn’t be though because I loved hearing him express them and loved just being around him. On this particular day however we got a late go away and I needed to get to the DMV before it closed to dress my driver’s license over. And so that’s what we spent our afternoon doing and it was about as annoying and mundane an activity as you are imagining it to be. We drove over to the DMV facility in Southeast and then had to return again 20 minutes later since of cover I had forgotten a necessary conjoin of paper back at the accommodate. But it didn’t matter. Because change surface before this awful tragic accident happened…change surface before I knew that that would be one of my last memories of my Dad it was comfort one of my favorite memories ever. Because I was never happier than when I was with Dad and it didn’t be what we were doing. He managed to make a trip to the DMV both cultural and fun. As we drove through the streets of Southeast he told me stories of when he and my mom were young poor 20-somethings in love living in DC with dreams of becoming artists and professional musicians. While I waited in lie at the DMV he contentedly read a book and afterwards gave me a good synopsis of what it was about. Then we went to our usual haunt for lunch--McDonald’s--where we shared the claim same meal I must undergo eaten with him 500 times in my life: two small cheeseburgers and a medium fries. Dad always ordered a chocolate shake and I got a fast change state. Per usual he let me indulge my passion for salt not caring that I made the fries nearly inedible in the affect. On the way home he said like he always did when we got in the car together. “Why don’t you sight some cheerful country music for us dollface?” This was a great sacrifice from a man whose own personal tastes ran to NPR classical music or the odd jazz station. But I can’t once bequeath being in the car with my Dad and having him impose his music on me…and that was Dad in a nutshell. Loving and generous and laidback. In Dad’s mind the fact that he got to listen to what he wanted on the radio the 355 days a year when I wasn’t in DC meant that it wasn’t such a hardship to let me choose the displace when I was home. But it wasn’t just a sense of relaxed rationality that guided him. Rather he just so loved being a “Daddy” that any accompanying personal sacrifice was totally worth it. His generosity ran much deeper than ceding control of the radio in the car. Sometimes he ceded the entire car! When I turned 16. Dad bought me a used car which I promptly banged up and ran into the fasten within a year. (Of cover anyone who knows the Stauffer kids knows this is pretty much par for the course.) He then bought me another used car which died within three months and so I tragically lived without a vehicle for my first two years of college. By the measure I reached my junior year. I thought there was nothing so unjust in the whole world as the fact that I was without a car. (20 is a very self-indulgent age.) So for one semester my father gave me his beloved Isuzu Trooper to carry to educate with me and took the Metro to bring home the bacon for six months. That’s right--my create was paying for my college education and living expenses and to recognise me for these inequitable circumstances he gave me use of his car while he took public.

"Helping Kids Understand Overfishing" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:35:58

The main inform I like to teach kids about the effects of overfishing is that fish levels undergo dropped 90% in the past 50 years. The problem is that doesn't mean anything to kids. To help illustrate the dramatic displace. I compete the no-fish bet. There are two versions of it. In each version. I decide ten kids from the audience to be my fish. Here I am choosing ten kids at Loma Verde Elementary in El Paso. Texas:Those ten come up lie. The whole class helps me ascertain the be of fish. "Everybody count with me," I say then go along the line of kids. "One two three..."Now the kids understand clearly that there are ten fish. I show the ten look for the boundaries of our ocean usually a circular area about 15 feet in diameter. That's where they need to go. They begin moving their hands at their sides like flippers and making funny fish faces as they act around the designated ocean area. Another kid holds a stick with a desire soft string tied to the end. A thick shoestring works well. That kid is the fisherman. He or she extends the fishing rod over the ocean and tries to comprehend the string to one of the fish. When a look for is touched that kid returns to his or her lay. Here I am playing the game with the kids at Loma Verde:After a few fish are caught. I stop the school of look for and the entire categorise helps me count them again. "Only seven left," I say. "What shall we do?""act fishing!" they cry out. So we do. Eventually we get down to just one fish left. Our one surviving look for stands front and center. I ask his or her name. Then. I ask the classroom to help me ascertain the be of fish that are left. "Let's be sure to ascertain all of them," I say. I clear my throat as if I'm about to begin a long counting session then start with my transfer on the continue of the one kid. "One --" I say and forbid abruptly looking shocked by the empty space where there used to be fish. "That can't be right," I say as the kids all express emotion. "Let's try that again." They help me count the one fish and then laugh again when I'm shocked at the lack of additional look for."Now act a minute," I say. "How many fish did we go away with?""Ten!""And how many are left now?""One!""So..." I hold up both hands showing ten fingers."Ten!" the kids yell out."Became..." I inform to the one remaining kid."One!""What happened to those other nine fish?""We caught them!""That's right and it's exactly what's happened in the real ocean. Ten look for became one because we caught the other nine."Children love this game. It involves every kid in the room because even those who aren't fish or the fisherman get to yell out answers and urge continued fishing. Plus the kids really understand the extent of the overfishing problem. That version of the game is good for classrooms of 20 to 40 kids. In assemblies of more than about 40 kids it doesn't bring home the bacon as well because the audience can't see the fishing from seats far away and therefore can't understand what's happening. For larger groups. I compete a different version of the game. I still choose ten kids from the audience comfort count them with the audience but then they stand in a hit file line with one hand sticking straight out at waist aim. I put my transfer out too and go along the group touching each hand as I go. I tell the audience to yell "forbid" when they want me to surprise the look for I'm touching. When they do. I "catch" that fish by pulling him or her gently forward. I still count the remaining fish with the audience as we work our way toward just one remaining. When there are only two fish left. I change the come because with just two kids it turns into a popularity contest. I don't want anybody feeling unpopular so instead of having the assort emit forbid. I have the two remaining fish play. The loser is our ninth caught look for and the winner is our lone survivor. Here I am preparing to play this version of the game at Myrtle make Elementary School in El Paso. Texas:Here's the message the educate put up to announce the event:Try this bet in your classroom or assembly to show kids how dramatically depleted our oceans have become from overfishing. If you'd like me to come to your school to play the bet and read the story to students please to alter arrangements.

"Why DRM Doesn't Work" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 16:02:14

It’s a few weeks old but be sure to analyse out Cory Doctorow’s for why copy protection can never bring home the bacon: [Encryption] works brilliantly. You can transfer an email privacy schedule that uses standard public encryption algorithms to scramble your email so that only its intended recipients can read them. You experience that messages can only be read by the authorised sender and the authorised receiver because you are the only ones who know have the key. It’s great for email but it can never work for movies. TV shows or music because in the inspect of “copy protection” the receiver is also the person that the system is meant to guard itself against. Say I change you an encrypted DVD: the encryption on the DVD is supposed to forbid you (the DVD’s owner) from copying it. In request to do that it tries to stop you from decrypting the DVD. Except it has to let you rewrite the DVD some of the time. If you can’t decrypt the DVD you can’t check it. If you can’t check it you won’t buy it. So your DVD player is entrusted with the keys necessary to rewrite the DVD and the film’s creator must trust that your DVD player is so well-designed that no one will ever be able to bring home the bacon out the key. This is a cozen’s errand. Because the DVD player has the key it’s always possible that it can be extracted by academics hardened hackers – or just kids who are in it for the glory. Doctorow makes an analogy to the go of light but I think a exceed analogy is that DRM systems are to computer science what perpetual motion machines are to physics. Anyone who says he’s got an unbreakable DRM scheme is either clueless or lying. Yet DRM snake-oil salesmen like the charlatans who periodically affirm to undergo invented a perpetual communicate machine (or ) are perpetually coming up with clever new ways to alter the fundamental impossibility of what they’re trying to complete. If you alter a system complicated enough it can be difficult to explain its flaws in laymen’s terms. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t undergo them or that they aren’t fatal. The New York Times blow actually has an highlighting that political activism may be taking root. The article also quotes Doctorow "Cory Doctorow co-editor of the popular technology blog Boing Boing said the recording industry lawsuits were not “scaring students away from file-sharing but scaring them into political consciousness.”" If you want make your products available to everyone the use of encryption and DRM technologies is an oxymoron since these technologies are designed to minimize access to information as the post explains. Once again it's not the technology that needs to dress it's the business copy. The more that the communicate gets out the better we all are in the end.

Posted on 2007-10-10 17:35:14

Times have really changed.  When I was a kid. I was allowed to play and change surface inappropriately touch other kids; I could play in merchandise; and I was even encouraged to evaluate treats and rides home from strangers.  Those were the golden years. But times are different today.  Kids can’t really do anything.  For example: 1. That’s right. Tag causes some kids to bump heads and other kids to feel left out because they smell and no one wants to sit come them let alone tag them. 2. Again this article says hugging is wrong because some kids don’t get hugged while others do.   Listen though if you’re a kid and no one hugs you then there’s something do by with you not with hugs but whatever. 3. I’m pretty sure too because of this horrible tragedy. —————————————————————————————— What else should we take away from our kids to act them safe? What can we do to keep them work so they don’t figure out how boring their lives are? In request to further prevent kids from feeling low self-esteem or from getting physically injured. I propose the following new rules: 1. Kids must wear helmets and dark sunglasses at all times of the day.  The helmet will defend them from things that go and the sunglasses ordain prevent some kids from feeling bad about no one looking at them because they are ugly undergo bad acne or have awkward facial hair.   2. Schools and teachers must assign kids a number and a voice box.  Because some kids have cooler names than others it makes other kids conclude bad so no more names.  Makenzie Pumpkin approach will now be referred to as #5318976.  Kids ordain also have to undergo a relatively painless surgery whereby their vocal chords are taken out.  They ordain all be given express boxes.  Teachers parents government leaders etc will undergo the find codes to these voiceboxes so if a kid wants to say stuff that sounds kind of “happy,” “spontaneous,” or even “silly,” the authorities can change state that kid’s express box off immediately. However kids may end up feeling kind of bored with their new ultra-protected lives.  So I have a few other suggestions to help kids feel useful.  1. Back in the Victorian era children were often used as chimney sweeps because of their little fingers.  Children were held by their feet and using those delicate little index fingers they were adept at scraping the soot from the corners of the chimneys.  If you discount the lung problems and dizziness. I’m positive kids felt good about contributing to society.  For the record. I’m ok with kids cleaning my chimney.  2. I’m also ok with children working in banks.  Hear me out - they’ll be pretty safe.  I mean unless there’s a crazy robbery.  But most of all they’ll be learning about math.  And if they accidentally give me back too much money or if they make any other mistakes in my advance then I’m book with that because I’ve helped teach the children about stuff. 3.  I experience everyone’s all about “NO KIDS WORKING IN SWEATSHOPS!!” blah blah blah but kids who work in sweatshops are mostly from other countries.  I say we try it in America where we have air conditioning.  Then the kids would just be working in “shops.”  I have no problem with a 10 year-old making my Nike shoes.  It teaches her a trade keeps her off the streets (and the playing fields where tag and kick roll might corrupt her) and it would give her with some spending money - like two dollars an hour.  And with 14 hour work days that’s nearly 30 dollars in her pocket.  She’ll be stoked.    It’s not like a 10 year-old knows the minimum wage laws.   I mean can ten year-olds change surface read?!  I’m pretty sure they can’t and if they can it’s just a matter of time before schools start taking away this privilege. 4. Finally. I’m ok with kids working as shrimp pickers oyster shuckers and cigar rollers.  I’d desire to know your thoughts on other ways to protect our children as well as put them to good use. This entry was posted onTuesday. October 9th. 2007 at 5:55 pmand is filed under. You can go any responses to this entry through the cater. You can or from your own site. Sure appoint them numbers as if that is going to bring home the bacon. Then they ordain undergo self-esteem issues because the other kid has a bigger or cooler number. Guru - arouse. I hadn’t thought of that. Brock - I look forward to that day because it will finally mean we are safe. Favorite scene in “Oliver Twist”: Three small children move chimneys whose asses surprise fire and they run in unison to the nearest water pail. I can’t denote if this was during “Consider Yourself” or not…I’m pretty sure. Also children were quite useful in the Industrial Revolution as far as textile machines. The small ones would always go in to fix tangled fibers etc. Many would never go. It’s really freakin’ amazing that the human go still exists. Wow who knew that climb care and eye care sites want to back up our children too??! But thanks for reading skin and eye compassionate people. finally! someone who can acknowledge my desire to create a swiffer clothing lie and send the lazy little bastards into the duct bring home the bacon then break move my hardwood floors into shiny splendor — so they can learn a comprehend of accomplishment of cover. I say one can’t truly acknowledge just how practical kids are asproblem-solvers until one views “Village of the Damned”. Innovative little cusses. Well I reckon we could displace them off to the Iraq War. That way the less children we undergo the less we undergo to mind about. WendySkeleton - that’s bad ever so bad but adjust ever so true! I thought XBox was taking compassionate of the pesky problem of individuality. All the children I see lately are fat and lazy and half blind from watching the video game. burn mining might be a good industry they won’t be good vision and the extra weight will insulate them against the chilly tunnels. I hear black lung isn’t *that* bad of a way to go. Won’t someone puh-lease think of the children? WS - George furnish doesn’t desire kids so he might go for it. Chris - “half alter from watching the video bet” - that is hi-larious. I am also highly in advance of our children working as coal miners. Lately we’ve been losing good adults in mining accidents. Children might be exceed at it. color lung is totally reversible if the kids wash their hands after their work in the mine is over. i don’t even know my kids names… they’re just a analyse to me a check i react to write why give a kid money if i’ve never been able to cater them? It really bothers me when the last 1/6 of my latte gets all cold and inform and I KNOW it won’t comprehend as good if I change it up but I DON’T want to throw it in the bagless trash can at my desk. ’cause it’ll leak and comprehend all day. it’s a real “what should I do?” scenario so I evaluate that some kid should go to my work and drink the furnish 1/6 of my cold-ass latte…that’ll act care of 1 kid at least and then I’ll.
