Answer 1

there is a presidents poem, memorize the beginning

check it out:

George Washington leads them, the great and the true.
John Adams succeeds him and Jefferson, too.
Madison follows, and fifth comes Monroe,
with John Quincy Adams and Jackson below.

The term of Van Buren to Harrison's leads;
Tyler, Polk, Taylor, then Fillmore succeeds.
Pierce and Buchanan, and Lincoln in turn,
is followed by Johnson and Grant we discern.

Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur, and Cleveland we score.
Then, Harrison is followed by Cleveland once more.
Then, comes McKinley and the full dinner pail,
and one called "Teddy" who to Cuba, did sail.

William Taft his government began
and Woodrow Wilson, a marvelous man;
Harding, Coolidge are next in the rhyme.
Then, Hoover and the people had a very hard time.

F.D.R. was great in both peace and war;
Truman was striving for what we were fighting for.
The former General Eisenhower
brought the Republicans back to power.

John Kennedy's victory in the race
was for the New Frontier in the "Age of Space."
Lyndon Johnson led the people -- the free and the brave,
with a goal to achieve and a country to save.

Nixon swore to uphold our creed
of liberty, life and every man's need,
but by Nixon these rules were ignored.
So, to take his place was President Ford.

Then, came Carter with a cheery smile
to run our country "Southern Style."
Then, Carter's smile left his face,
and Reagan came to take his place.

"Dutch" stayed two terms, and Bush filled his station,
bringing with him a "kinder, gentler nation."
However, only one term did George H. W. Bush fill
when along came Clinton, known as Bill.

Eight years of great economic changes took place,
but Clinton's impeachment brought him disgrace.
The new millenium arrived with a close election.
The Electoral College chose George W. Bush as its Presidential selection.

G.W.'s term had barely begun when a national tragedy occured.
The terrorists' 9-11 attack on the U.S. of A. 'round the world was definitely heard.
Such barbarism brought onto our great nation
a sense that there needed to be retaliation.

It was in war with Iraq, the U.S. mightily did go
with determination that terrorism we might overthrow.
Then, through many challenging moments, the President held firm,
and he was elected for a second term

First Fifteen Presidents

Answer 3

I do not agree that adoption is a valid alternative to abortion. However, it honesty doesn't matter what is in this article. There are SO MANY instances of poor choices by UK Social Workers that they really need to replace most of the upper echelon. Much of what they are doing is on the edge of illegal. Poor parents are trapped - they have no money to get a solicitor to explain to them their rights and options and Social Services simply ignores these people or lies to them and then tells them 'too late, child is now adopted.' Yes, we have the problem in the US. Clinton's argument pushing adoption was in response to Social workers deliberately preventing the adoption of children in foster care in order to preserve their jobs. My best friend was in 17 different foster homes from the age of 11 until the day he turned 18. Why so many moves? Every time the foster parents asked about permanent guardianship or adoption, he was moved. Now, the primary reason for his specific situation was because they wanted access to his trust fund, but this was a common problem even for poor children. Unfortunately, we have a reverse problem. Some states, such as Ohio, focus on single women with no family support - they get the children and place them for adoption without ever telling the woman she never had a chance. They want those federal dollars they get for every placement. Basically, baby selling. This was not the intent of those federal dollars, but that is what they have become - cash prize for placing a child for adoption.

Answer 4

Make up a song or hum a catchy little tune that you will remember.
Instead of saying the words say the Presidents names and what they were famous for. Example: George Washington was the father of the nation, John Adams was a patriot, Thomas Jefferson was the father of Independence, John Q Adams was his father's son....etc.

If you sing something it makes it easier to remember.
Remember how you learned your ABC's? I bet you still sing that song don't you. :-) So go ahead and make a new one just for the Presidents.

Answer 5

Try mnemonics (memory tricks, for example a meaningful sentence that reminds you of each name in the list of Presidents in the right order, with each word of the sentence cuing you to say the name of each President).

The mnemonics site that I provide as a source has some mnemonic sentences for various groups of Presidents.

Answer 6
