Education & Reference - 12 July 2006

But probably 9 out of 10 people don't know who Hideki Tojo is, the 40th Japanese Prime Minister and General of the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2?
I don't remember much from History class in High school to give facts of what he did but Hideki Tojo is considered by the Japanese as the top evil bastard during WW2. As I am sure Hitler is considered in present day Germany.
So why isn't Tojo as infamous and hated in America as Hitler?
I've never quite figured this one out.

And just in case anyone gets confused, I hate both Hitler and Tojo.
I do not share their beliefs nor their lack of sanity. And I am Japanese American so I'm not trying to bash on the Japanese here either.
I'm just curious. If anyone knows the answer do tell.

I went back two years ago to re-do Highers to gain access into University, and found them pisspot easy compared to the Higher English i did in 1987 which was a huge paper, part one in the morning and part two in the afternoon. Now its two hours or so and covers so little that u could pass it without even writing in sentences!

Easy to prepare, get out, and should be able for students to quickly put them away (I don't want to spend loads of money...just for my early finishers).

From K to 6 I was a dumb kid. I got terrible grades and had a 45
percentile on a standerdized test. But the night before I entered
middle school for 7th grade I was really determined to change all that. On the first day of school I was put in classes that are for average 7th grade students but every day after I came back from school I would study things beyond my grade level. And amazingly within 2 months of the school year I had a 4.0 grade average,
was put in honors classes and for a standerdized test I had
a 99 percentile so my math,reading, writing and science skills
were all college level. I got lots of certificates from the state and
by the end of the year I still have maintained a 4.0 GPA and
and my standerdized test score is 99.9 percentile and I have all honors classes and have made the most improvement the state has ever seen and now it is summer and I am going into 8th
grade. But even If I have made extra ordinary improvements
my actions in k to 6th ruined my future
