Education & Reference - 28 September 2006

Please dont think im weird for asking this. This idea is for a research paper i am going to conduct. Even though it sounds impossible, i need some suportting evidences to convey the readers that computer has touched the creation of humans. I have 1 source so far, which is the best chess players were beat by a computer. There is some programed force at work that allowed the computer to think for itself to beat the kings of chess. please submit some considerable answers. some answers i got were "R U O K" and "ok..........." I need some facts that can back up my point of view.

Bill Bennett and Rod Paige on national standards and tests!

Former Education Secretaries Bill Bennett and Rod Paige weigh in on national standards and testing in the September 21 Washington Post:

Forty years ago the sociologist James S. Coleman made clear that there's no reliable connection between the resources going into a school and the learning that comes out. Fifty years ago economist Milton Friedman made clear that in education, as in other spheres, monopolies don't work as well as markets. That's why most Republicans and some Democrats favor school choice in its myriad versions and why many, like us, have also embraced today's other important education reform strategy: standards, testing and tough accountability for schools.

But there's a problem. Out of respect for federalism and mistrust of Washington, much of the GOP has expected individual states to set their own academic standards and devise their own tests and accountability systems. That was the approach of the No Child Left Behind Act -- which moved as boldly as it could while still achieving bipartisan support. It sounds good, but it is working badly. A new Fordham Foundation report shows that most states have deployed mediocre standards, and there's increasing evidence that some are playing games with their tests and accountability systems....

The remedy? As both of us have long argued, Washington should set sound national academic standards and administer a high-quality national test. Publicize everybody's results, right down to the school level. Then Washington should butt out.

Read the entire Post op-ed here.

If the question is "Do I have bad grammar?" Then by all means tear down that induvidual's gentle spirit, but sheesh, they probably dropped out of school so they wouldn't have anyone naggin them like that. Show some respect. People are so rude when the know they are completely anonymous. That's a jerk move.

I have been messing with Yahoo Answers for just a short time & am troubled by the amount of people asking for people to do their homework for them. If they were working a problem and were stumped & asking for help that would be one thing but most I have seen are just posting their problems asking for the answer.

Does this concern anyone else?
