does this bother anyone?

How is it we could invade a country like Iraq, but do nothing about other areas of the world where perhaps arguably we have atrocities happening on an even higher level? While the argument has been made that terrorists were supported in Iraq the truth is that terrorism is given its support by other countries with more religious natures. Let me be more explicit about this for a moment. An invasion of Afghanistan or pressure on Saudi Arabia (who might have made a mistake when it said the religious clerics could be in charge of education--duhh!) , perhaps even an argument could be made that terrorism could best be handled by eliminating the causes of terrorism. Just a thought--but erhaps we could really address the endemic causes of religious strife, borders enacted under colonial rule, or even GASP, the palestenian Israeli conflict. My hat is off to the current Israeli leader for trying to handl,e the situation. Let me know what you think.

3/19/04 -- Federal Rules for TeachersAre Relaxed -- Education Week

I don't know about anyone else but I feel more relaxed already. It's not the overcrowded classrooms, lack of textbooks, lack of computers, lack of copying and other supplies. Don't those things lower the acheivement of our kids?

Ok so this has been a very exciting begining to the week. My kids get geometry which begs the question why? With everything else they seem to struggle. The simple and obvious answer is that geometry is visual. Duhh! Perhaps sice they grasped this so well looking at the subject from a visual standpoint makes sense as I develop the lesson plans for other subject areas in math as well.

I will try to bring up in my Masters Program Class at PACE on Tuesday evening.

Forgive me it has been at least two weeks since my last blog. I have been crazy busy with the kids, lesson plans, and setting up things for the internet. Hope everyone is doing well.
