Who would I be for a day

   There is approximately 7 billion people in this world. People who are doctors, nurses, heroes, celebrities, who dedcate their lives for other people and more. But out of those 7 billion people there is only one person I would want to be. My mother, who was brought into this world on October 30th, in a small town named Marathon and since that day she has been a strong independent woman and a loving mother to her 3 children. She has become my role model over the years.

   I would wake up early in the day, not because it's a habit of mine, but because I to leave early to make it to work on time. Arriving at work around 8:00, I would begin the task of seeing which Nations is not abusing the money given to them (From the Federal Government) to provide for the reserve like roads, streetlights, schools and instead is using the money on themselves. If they aren't doing there part I have the right to not fund the Nation anymore. Besides the work I have to put up with the other snobby co-workers, who never do any of the work and think they all that etc. I continue this until the end of the day, exhausted I still have to cook dinner, clean the house and make sure their in bed, but not until 5:00 pm when I can leave work.At the end of the day I am tired and just want to sleep

    My mother does work hard everyday, exhausted still has to do the usual parent things. Though she can quit anytime, she doesn't and this is where I respect her independence and know that I can never do what she does (being a single-parent) I admire her strong-will character.

Snake Found in Toilet

    On Tuesday night in apartment 220 Woolner Avenue, located near Jane and St.Clair West, Randat Punwassie spotted a python in his bathroom and suprisingly was not shocked about this.And he did the smart thing to do; he locked the door, called the police and did not cause a panic. Though the strange thing was that later on around 2:00am a corn snake was found in 190 Woolner Avenue


    If I was in the suituation of Mr.Punwassie, I would have done the same thing as him. Lock the snake in the bathroom, call the police, wait for them to show up and take the snake away even if I was scared and shocked to have found it in there.

Nelly Furtado Donates $1M Paid By Quddafi

      The singer Nelly Furtado donated 1 million dollars to Free The Children. This money will help fund two new Free The Children programs supporting girls in Kenya and in the Middle East and North Africa region, the money was given to her by Quddafi in Italy 2007 where she preformed a private concert for him and his family. The money which was from the people of Libya. Now at the time Quddafi was the leader of Libya, though not a great one he was not considered a threat to other countries, so was accepting money from him wrong.
          
        Nelly Furtado is just one of the many people who were paid a great amount of money to perform for him.  Though she did not give the money directly to Libya,because it may be difficult to donate money to a charity that can give the money to Libya. Libya is in a state of change for better or for worse.So instead she is donating to an organization to children in Africa who are in most need of help. And this helps more childern, not to mention Libya is part of North Africa. So did she really do such a bad thing if it involves the children of Libya?

How is this a public school system? (Own opinon)

      If it is mandatory to go to school,and have a proper education then why should certain schools    have a higher education (mainly the rich) and the poor school's do not ? We all live in Canada and in this country, we are all about equality to share with one another. But why isn't it the same thing with our Health care, then why not with our education?

     The answer is simple Money. Money runs the entire school for textbooks,uniforms, gym supplies, etc. If that school doesn't have enough money than it cant function properly.School's in Rosedale tend to do better, because they do have money and lots of it.
  
      But this isn't fair to the less fortunate schools for they dont raise as much money. Even though we know the difference between what is right and wrong and fair. This certainly isn't fair but wouldn't anyone of us jump at the chance to atttend a rich school?

    

   

   

How is this a publc school system?

      Public school's full of rich kids are better off, than public school's full of poor kids. That is according to studies done on the education system. The Fraser Institute  ranked Nelson park middle school a 2.0 while Whitney Junior Park middle school got a 8.6. Now we're looking at differences of $16/per student and $1,026/per student for the month. Most of the money comes from fund-raising in the school, now where does the money come from when fund-raising? The parents, of course.

      The parents money funded the school. For their jersey's, books, gym supplies. the money was distributed evenly amoung the students, but not with the entire public schools.

  
     There were 2 plans on how a school would be funded. Plan A, banned parental donations to the school, as long as the government would be funding all schools to a level where donations wouldn't be needed. Now Plan B would be pooling all parental donations and sharing them evenly to each school. Now everyone has equal rights no matter where the school is, if it's a poor neighbourhood or how much funding the school gets, but education is important nobody denies it. But maybe forgot that when it's our own child needing a bood education. 

My opinon on E-learning

   E-learning is fun, but isn't the best way to learn. Though it does have it's advantages such as; students are more prepared and organized, for less-outspoken people to write their opinions on a message board and the convenience we have to the access to learning from our homes and not have to travel to school to attend classes is great and does have it's uses. But the thing is that we don't really learn much from it compared to the traditional way, with a paper and pen listening to a lecture.

  How come? Because even though today our community has become reliable on technology and students do research on the Internet. Technology is a distraction,e-learning offers more drawbacks than the traditional way of learning. One main concern parents worry is that students with bad study habits may fall behind may be distracted by socializing website like Facebook and Twitter.What’s more is that without the routine of a class, students may get lost or confused about course activities and deadlines.

  Studies show that more than half of the class would skip classes if the notes were online. but if she or he stumbles across a part that they don't get then a teacher is required to help answer their question and this is the fault in e-learning then of course you need to be face-to-face with that teacher rather than email.

 
    Now everyones' learning abilities are different some need hands-on exprince others need a lecture on the subject but both of these require face-to-face contact being taught by an actual teacher not just a podcast of a lecture since you arent really there and invovled and this causes all sorts of problems if you have a question or don't understand it. We may be so far-advanced in technology but we aren't so advanced that we're gonna have virtual schools anyday soon.
