Inconvenient Truth raises questions in B.C. school district

Inconvenient Truth raises questions in B.C. school district

I'm showing it tomorrow.

All of its claims may not be based on scientific fact...but the underlying principals are.

Through it, I hope to generate some meaningful discussion.

So, what does it mean if the big three (Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Pulaski County) are all on the list of schools who "Need Improvement" according to the federal government. Students are to be proficient by 2013. If this holds, all schools in the state will be on the List pretty soon!

Gore and U.N. Panel Share Peace Prize - washingtonpost.com

Gore and U.N. Panel Share Peace Prize - washingtonpost.com

"The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity," Al Gore.

...Moral, sure, okay, I'll buy that. Leave the environment in good shape for the coming generations...

...but a spiritual issue? What the crap, AL? How in the name of common sense is this a spiritual issue?

Please, someone tell me...

That's it, I'm moving to Canada...A country with no Identity...

"Be careful little eyes what you see"

Today's THV - KTHV Little Rock News Article

Let's not jump the gun on this one...Recently someone shared a story that will make you cringe. The teacher was falsely accused then released. The law says...Guilty until proven innocent...but if proven guilty...bury 'em.

We (educators, ministers, anyone dealing with children) are one lie away from unemployment! That is why it is so important to distance yourself to a certain extent.

I feel for the guy if he IS innocent. Actually, it is a lose-lose situation. If he is proven guilty than an innocent child is scarred...if he is innocent he loses all credibility (even though he is innocent).

Sad, very sad.
