i have a 14 year old who due to almost being killed after being jumped by over a dozen kids after school, and not being placed into a safer school by school district had to repeat the 8th grade.

the problem is that i enrolled him in a charter school that was not any better than the public schools in our area and i had to transfer him into catholic school after the first trimester. he is now failing at his new school as well.

he does not want to study. i've tried everything but he has no motivation. i paying a private tutor whom i'm thinking about getting rid of.

i was thinking about using the software that is used by teachers and tutors to help my son. i figured it would probably be more on point if he sees the progress that is being made and if he has to move along with the program instead of sitting down and pretending he listens to his tutor.

can anyone recommend a good, i mean GOOD software

package?

It has to have 3 reasons/arguments to support thesis- why your thesis is right. and atleast 2 other theories why they are not correct(if i did this wrong plz help me =] ) MY THESIS IS THE ROSENBURG SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE DEATH PENALTY

and if i can add any other paragraphs and help me with topic it will be greatly appreciated!!!



ok..these are just my body paragrapghs right now..



Ethel Rosenberg should not have been executed. She might have been innocent for all we know. The only reason she got convicted was because Ruth Greenglass testified against Ethel. They do not have concrete evidence that Ethel typed the notes for the atomic spy ring. But we now have evidence that she could have been innocent. In June 12, 2001, David Greenglass confessed that he committed perjury in the Rosenberg Case. Greenglass said “he does not remember who in fact typed those papers. Greenglass himself would not apologize for his role, saying he could not sacrifice his wife and children for his sister” (http://english.pravda.ru/world/2001/12/06/23023.html). This shows how Ethel Rosenberg’s innocence was revealed. These are the reasons why Ethel should not have been executed and not even be arrested at all!

The trial might not have been fair. There was a lot of political air at that time because of the cold war and the red scare. The Rosenberg’s lawyer, Emanuel Bloch made many big legal mistakes during the trial. Mistakes such as “moving to impound Exhibit 8--a Greenglass sketch purporting to show a cross section of the implosion-type atom bomb, thereby in effect acquiescing in the prosecution's charge that the sketch was in fact the "secret of the atom bomb" and also not cross-examining Harry Gold, who in later trials was found to be highly unreliable”( http://www.rosenbergtrial.org/). The judge’s decision has also been influenced by the prosecutor, Roy Cohn. This shows how the trial for the rosenberg’s case was unfair.
It does not make sense why the Rosenberg case was charged so harshly. They received the death sentence while the other atomic spies got only about 14 years in prison. Klaus Fuchs “spied for many more years than the Rosenbergs, provided far more sensitive nuclear information to the Soviet Union, and was caught, confessed, tried, convicted, and sentenced in the United Kingdom, received 14 years in jail, which was the maximum penalty in that nation for passing military secrets to friendly nations” (www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/rosenb/ROS_CT4.HTM). Many believe that the reason why they received the death sentence was because of the pressure and paranoia of the people in America. Because of what the Rosenbergs symbolizes, the communists. But it is still not a good enough excuse for sentencing them to death.

The panic and paranoia of the Red Scare, Cold War, and the Korean War played a huge role in the case of the Rosenbergs. Almost everyone in the United States was scared of becoming a communist country. America was also afraid of being bombed by the USSR.

If you can, you'll get best answer and correctly answer a question required for understanding of higher order logic:

In the land of Xodarap there is a palace. You are stuck on a one way road in this land. You are trying to reach the palace so you can escape Xodarap. You know there are two types of people that live in Xodarap - people that ALWAYS lie and people that ALWAYS tell the truth.

On the road you come to a fork, at this fork a native of Xodarap is standing. You do not know if he is a native that always lies or always tell the truth. You do not know which way leads to the palace. He says he will answer one question and one question only.

What question do you ask the native to find out which way leads to the palace?

He always forgets which numer to add and from which to subtract. In addition he counts more and in subtraction he cuts down extra lines which results a wrong answer.
