For example, in El Salvador kids usually begin learning Algebra 1 in the 4th or 5th grade while kids here in America usually start learning it in 9th grade and some even fail it and have to retake it in 10th grade. In summer 2008 I am moving to El Salvador to complete the 12th grade and I am so worried the kids in El Salvador are so far ahead from the ones here in the USA. The only advantage I probably have over them is my English nothing else. Why is it that american education is so bad? Are the kids to blame who usually join social cliques like rocker, prep, ghetto, emo etc. or are the teachers to blame who some don't teach at all and are more worry about getting a raise. or is it the American Education Curriculum?

One day Bill Clinton went jogging and he saw a boy with a box that said “Free Puppies”. He told his Secret Service he had to see them, so he crossed the street. He told the boy “Those sure are some cute puppies son” The boy said “than you and did you know they are all democrats” when he got back he told Hillary and she smiled. The next day Hillary went on the run with him and they saw the same boy. Hillary said she wanted to see the puppies. After crossing Hillary told the boy they were cute and the boy said “yep & they are all Republicans” Hillary said “you told my husband they were all Democrats yesterday” He said “they were but today they have their eyes open”

I cant play guild wars because it is so laggy. I only have 256mb of RAM, and my video card is a Geforce2 MX (I know it sucks)...im trying to play on minimum system specs, and even when i downgrade the effects in the game, it won't fix my lag. Should I upgrade my video card, or my RAM first to fix the problem? Also, if so, how can I do it in a cheap way (all i want is for the game to become playable!) Thanks a lot!

guys-
if you found out for sure a girl liked you for awhile, and weren't particularly interested, and if after you found out she started ignoring you and not really showing interest would it catch your attention? Also, would it make you more interested?
I know this sounds silly, I was just wondering because the other day my friend was telling me how she had a mad crush on this geekier guy who never had pretty girls like him like she was, and he pretty much rejected her. But once she started ignoring him his attention was caught.

I've been using Excel for some time to figure out my budget on a weekly, biweekly and monthly basis, but I think I could benefit much more from a program or script that would allow a calendar-type format so that I can look ahead a few months and see where I need to adjust according to events on certain dates. Is there a free program available for something like this, maybe one built into Windows? (I'm using XP)

And his kidneys only function at 20%, but they have been that way for about 10 years. The swelling appears worse lately. Basically, the question I am asking is, does worse water retention signal that his kidneys may be failing more? Or is this just a normal sign of diabetes and chronic kidney disease. I don't want to over-worry myself....thank you.

I recently heard about a supplement known as potassium Iodide. I read about where it was given to people who could have been exposed to radiation. Somehow it helps to purify your body of certain types of radiation and pollution. I gave it a shot just to see what it would do. I know you have to be careful in taking this supplement so I went lower than the maximum dose and I didn't take it for more than 3 days straight. It really helped alot! It made a world of difference! So much so, that many people are saying that I should have my thyroid checked to see if there is a problem there. Because after taking the Potassium Iodide my world is totally different! I sleep better and I am much more calm and relaxed and no even half as wired as I used to be. Overactive Thyroid is a problem in my family. My mother, my grandmother, Aunts and Uncles! Just about everyone has had a thyroid problem in my family. Potassium Iodide is part of the ingredients found in thyroid medication if I remember right.
