I would like to work from home, but for a legitimate company. If you know anything about this one, or if you know a good company to work at home for, please let me know.
the assignment is all together worth 50 points but the one question is wroth 30 points! this is for my education class.
assignment- this is an election year and as young voters and or future teachers you should have first hand info. on the educational position that the republican and democratic presidential candidates have. look up each one of their positions on education reform and critique it.
so i went on both the candidates sites and went under issues and then to education and read their views and explained what they wanted to do and i tried to critique it but i think i ddidn’t… here is what i wrote.
Republican candidate John McCain’s education reform policy wants to build on to The No Child Left Behind plan by maintaining the current emphasis standards and accountability however he does not believe in focusing on state averages. John McCain wants to provide schools with quality teachers by encouraging alternative certification programs by devoting five percent of Title II funding money to states to recruit teachers whom graduate in the top of their class’s 25 percent tile or those who participate in alternative teaching recruitment programs. Alternative teaching can be quality teachers but if the certification is rushed then teachers might not be as prepaid as those non-alternative teachers. Additional money should be given to students in college who are majoring in teaching in the form of grants and scholarships. John McCain would also like to give 60 percent of title II money to award teachers directly who teach in failing schools bonuses and for teachers that teach in math and science and teachers who demonstrate student improvement. McCain would use 35 percent of Title II founding would go to principals and teachers in order for them to focus on their school needs. This will allow the principal of the schools have more control over what the money is spent on to improve their school. Under McCain the D.C Opportunity scholarship money will increase from $13 million a year to $20 million a year and benefit nearly a thousand more families that make an average income of $23,000 a year. The program helps parents take their children out of failing schools and place them in a better learning environment. Five hundred million dollars in current federal funding would help to build new virtual schools and support online courses not just for dual enrollment for college students but for regular class and enhancement classes. John McCain would give $250 million through a completive grant program those supporting states that expand online AP math and science courses and computer courses and tutoring support for students in public schools and foreign language courses. This program along with his $250 digital passport scholarship program will allow students to have credit recover courses and SAT/ACT prep courses. The virtual passport program would not only apply to public schools but to charter schools and home schooled students.
Democrat Barack Obama education reform plan includes keeping the NCLB act but changing the act so that there is more funding for it but schools are not ranked by standardized test. Obama believes like many other teachers believe that most of the school year is wasted forcing students to prepare for standardized test and not spend focusing on learning the material on an affective time scale. Obama would like to make math and science classes better by recruiting math and science degrees into teaching. The U.S has the highest developed country drop out rate so Obama plans to invest in personal academic plans and teaching teams and parent’s involvement and mentoring in middle schools. He also wants to double the founding for after school programming by double which will not only give kids with parents that work late or live in bad neighborhoods a safe environment to play and get help they may need with homework. Obama also wants to invest in summer learning programs to help students get extra help for those in low family incomes. Obama supports programs such as GEAR UP, TRIO and Upward Bound. Programs like this make it possible for low income families to consider planning for college. Obama makes knows that in order for students to do well the teachers must also be well educated. Obama plans to create new teaching service scholarships that cover four years of undergraduate or two years of graduate and high-quality alternative programs to help prepare more alternative teachers. In order to better prepare alternative teachers Obama will expand on mentoring programs for alternative teachers. This allows new teaches with less experience in the field to be paired with a more experienced teacher that will help them make their class room time more efficient. By paying the mentoring teachers extra money to mentor new recruited teachers more teachers will be better prepaid to teach. Like McCain, Obama wants to increase the pay of teachers who work in more poor schools. Obama wants to ma

Before I even ask anything, please leave if you are here to insult or otherwise post objectionable material here on Y!A. You WILL be reported. Now that that’s taken care of, if you are enlightened, then please proceed:
I don’t understand everyone’s abhorrence for democratic socialism. It seems to me that there is a social stigma against the democratic socialist form of government due to the communist regimes of Soviet Russia, PR China, North Korea, and other failed governments. However, people do not realize that communism is NOT socialism, and socialism is NOT democratic socialism.
In my humble opinion, the US public needs to become enlightened and reconsider the situation and analyze it in an objective manner, relying on science and ethics (morals).
The democracy currently present in the USA is a system that only perpetuates poverty; the people at the top stay at the top and the people at the bottom stay at the bottom.
People who grow up in impoverished, gang-ridden cities, such as Watts or Compton, have little to no chance of growing up to be someone in the world. If you grow up in a household where you have very little money for food at home with a single mother and three brothers, while being subjected to a substandard educational system, then you will almost invariably end up in a gang, and/or steal or sell drugs for money in order to help feed your family and make a living. Even if you do try to get an education (considering you can even afford school materials), your education will be sub par compared to the middle and upper class students; and how do you expect to both go to school AND make a living for yourself? People say that “America is the land of opportunity,” and that “anything is possible in the USA,” but do these statements hold true for those who grow up in the conditions I described? You tell me.
In a socialist society, everyone could elect representatives and every family and individual would inevitably receive a minimum amount of money with with to live comfortably and healthily (most healthy products are extremely over-priced) and there would therefore be no “ghetto” neighborhoods and everyone could afford to obtain an education and succeed in life.
And NO, the problem is NOT that you award necessity instead of work, because there would be a minimum income cap, but there would also therefore be room for improvement in income with education and competition. The difference is that there would not be the elitist super-rich that exists today due to the imperialist capitalism that began over a century ago with the British Empire.
Here is an excellent point that someone made in another answer (not my info), so take this into consideration as well:
“War, poverty, exploitation and oppression are products of the capitalist system, a system in which a minority ruling class profits from the labor of the majority. The alternative is socialism, a society based on workers collectively owning and controlling the wealth their labor creates.
It is the right governmental structure for a post-industrailized society like ours. But capitalists have fought the people of the US about this for years and has won. People really can’t even think outseide the bounds of capitalist mind control, they can’t envision a just society.”
So true, so true.
However, we all know that this type of government can never be established because the elite of the world would never risk letting something like that happen, for it would decimate their power and grip on the world economy.
Hi guys.
A friend and I are interested in starting a forum, blog, or website (or a combination of any of the three) to hopefully attract people and generate a nice income, even if it is small. We’re both teenagers, so even if the idea fails, it’s not like we’ll lose much. We just have a few concerns:
1. What’s a good, popular topic to center our website around?
2. Should I just use Google Adsense, or should I use another adservice? Or a combination of multiple services?
3. What are ways, other than ads, that we can generate revenue?
4. What’s the most reliable & cheapest hosting service? I understand that it’ll vary depending on if we want a blog/forum/just a website, but a general idea would be nice.
5. How much knowledge of php/html/css do we need? I understand that we can just use dreamweaver or something, but I don’t really like the idea of using WYSIWYG programs.
Thanks.
I would like to work from home so I can go to school. I have 3 years of administrative assistant experience. I would like to work from home on my computer but I don’t trust those “work from home and earn a million a month” bull **** ads. Can you help?
I am a second year architecture student form South Africa.
I have the opportunity to work somewhere in Holland for the second simester of next year as a manditory 6 month practical.
The only problem is, I don’t know how much they’re going to pay and if I will be able to eat and maybe, just maybe have a good time now and again. The university may pay for our lodging, but that’s not a given yet. My parients can’t afford to pay anything other than getting me there and I have no savings to speak of.
Here it’d be easy to find work. We’ve been given a list of 30 firms eagre to hire us, and there are only 20 students that need to be placed. I still live at home so whatever they’re paying would be pocket money.
So, what I want to know from somebody actually in the know, will I be able to survive financially?
A chance like this doesn’t come around too often. I really want this to happen.
