voters want more from schools

In this article Americans are concerned about what is being taught at schools and don't think the United States are preparing students with the skills they will need in the future. By Dave, 2 cents worth. 80% of voters say the skills that are needed for the 21st century and the future are different then what they used to be 20 years ago. New things that voters think should be taught more are critical thinking and problem solving. I think that everything should be taught and not just a couple things because in the past we had to use everything we knew and in the future we will have to use everything we know. Some of the things are science, math, problem solving, English, etc. Everything is used in this world and that's why we have it. In the future we will need all the skills we can learn even though they seem like they're not useful. Every skill plays it's part in the world. Students are the future and they should know everything they can. http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/2007/10/12/voters-want-more-from-schools/

Wildlife officers kill bear that claws homeowner

In this article a bear that went into a garage and clawed the homeowner was shot and killed. The Denver Post. My question is why would you kill the bear that went in the garage and clawed the homeowner. Its called a bear of course its going to attack its an animal. We did take over their land so if they can't find food in the territory we left them of course they're gonna go off to find some food for themselves somewhere else they're not just gonna sit there and wait for food to fall into their lap, they need to eat too. Plus when we took over some of their land the bears didn't come out and shoot the people which is what we do. When they come down some are taken back but others are shot and killed so what can a bear do up against a gun. They need to do what ever they can to survive just like anything else and for them to come down means its because most of the time it is necessary. But im not saying dont kill any bears but we should limit ourselves because what we do to them affects us to.

Im Relaxing...

In this article dave is at a hotel where he thinks there is no internet. He asks the guy at the front desk if they had internet. The guy told him they do but it was down. 2cents worth by Dave. This article made me think about how internet is so useful to everyone. People can do anything online like research, see how the temperature is or find an adress no matter what it is you can probably do it online. This made me think of how the world be if we never had internet would we still be as advanced or would we be slower at things. Like this blog wouldnt' even exist and this assignment would have never been assigned. I think we wouldn't be as advanced because millions of people use the internet around the world and without it everything wouldn't be the same. So we should all thank the internet because its a part of our everyday lifes.
