My Thoughts on War

Do you believe we should be the worlds police? We are defending Lybia and our troops are getting hurt out there and we're getting into everyone elses buisness. it has always been that way. The war in the Middle East was all about oil, there were no beneficial causes for us to go in the war. If there werent any oil there, i doubt we would have gone to war. When there are conflicts going on in different coutries, us Americans always have to step in and intervene on everything. I just believe that if we focus on our own country maybe things will be a bit better for us instead of worrying about other countries, even though that sounds a little self centered, but we are kinda in a recession right now

Reflection on Discussion

I feel that the discussion on Health Care Reform went very well, we talked about alot of important issues that are going on today with schools and education. Almost everyone in the room voiced their opinion except for a few students. This was most likely the best discussion we have had all year. We talked about how private schools are harder on the students than public schools and the teachers are not on contract, so they can be fired at any given time, so they try harder to do their job. Maybe if there were no contracts then teachers will try harder? because i have had a teacher my junior year that just sat on his computer everyday and gave us busy work and probably just planned stuff for his Basketball team, and that was my experience with a horrible teacher. There are alot of issues we need to solve with our education, and it is going to definately take some time.

Charlie Sheen

I have been thinking that i will really miss Two and a Half Men and the media really needs to give up on Charlie Sheen because he is not going to change one bit and he is going to stay the same but he is very entertaining at what he does. I personally think he is pretty cool and his show is hilarious and i love to watch it all the time so i think he should be a role model to people. :D

Subway bigger than McDonalds?

It seems like its unbelievable but Subway is actually considered to be the biggest retaurant chain in America as of now. They have surpassed McDonalds mainly on advertising their products, that is what has been keeping them on top of everything. Another thing that has helped them would be all the commercials they make for the products. I just decided to make this post because i thought it was interesting how it has become bigger than McDonalds, and that is a huge accomplishment for them to be more poplular. Subway has to represent hommie.

teachers being paid based on test scores

I want to share some thoughts on teachers salaries being based off their test scores. I feel that teachers should not get paid for how good their students do on tests because i feel bad for the teachers who are in a bad area and all their students just dont care. Someone cannot force a kid to do well on tests if they dont want to. I just believe teachers salaries should be based on other things, not how well kids do on tests.

i cant find a source for this :O but i wanted to post a blog about it
