    Barak Obama apparently doesn't have a birth certificate according to Donald Trump. It is supposed to be in a vault in Hawaii where Barak was supposed to be born but now we really are not sure. At first i was thinking this is just probably because of the fact that he is going to be running against Obama in the next election but now i'm not so sure. There is a good possibility that he is actually not a member of the United States. Let alone not even legally. If Barak has any sort of birth certificate it shouldn't be that hard to find it considering he is the president of the United States. For some reason they have yet to find it. Either it was never created or somebody along the years had lost it.

    Well then I will make sure to not vote for Obama next election.

    Before he was eligible to become president, things like this should of been figured out.

    Donald Trump just needs something to try and get voters on his side since he has never done anything political before. It would be terrible if he became president of our country in the next election.

    I think that Barak was probably born in the United States and his birth certificate is just MIA as of right now, even thought a birth certificate should not be hard to find. Considering you need it for many things, he should have it in his possession. Donald Trump should be president.

    If the man had a Birth certificate they would have found it by now he is the president of the united states i believe trump is telling the truth and someone should've looked into this better when obama was running for president.

    If Donald Trump was president i'm sure it couldn't get any worse then what Barak is doing now:)

    I believe that Obama was born in the US. If he wasn't then i doubt that he would of became president in the first place because someone would have asked for proof of where he was born.

    How could you run for president without proof of being born here? Come on, what is the U.S comming to?

President Obama Barack Born

    Skeptics and conspiracy theorists have been attacking president Obama with their doubts that he was born in America. Statistics show that 25% of citizens have doubt of his birth on U.S. soil. But, evidence has shown that he is a U.S. citizen. And was born in Hawaii. Proof such as the document of his birth in the newspaper, the birth certificate, and memories of the current governer of Hawaii as Barack was a baby.

    This is good, this will make all the skeptics finally shut up about our president being an American.
  • Angela S on 26 Apr 11
     
    The government can make the people of the United States believe whatever they want us to believe. Just because some piece of paper was copied onto a newspaper doesn't necessarily make something true. I believe that until there is an actual visual of his birth certificate then no so many people are going to believe that he really is a us citizen.
  • brett p on 26 Apr 11
     
    Not according to Donald Trump.

    Ok i understand that we don't wanna start any more problems with terrorist but why wont Obama show us some pictures? I think the Navy Seals should be happy that they killed Bin Laden and release some pictures of him. I do believe that he is dead but i still have my doubts just because they wont show us some proof. If they would release the pictures to everyone then no one will doubt Obama. I think that it will make Obama look a lot better and its right in time since the elections are coming up next year.

Father: Why I didn't let my son take standardized tests - The Answer Sheet - The Washin... - 0 views

shared by Suzie Nestico on 27 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • My wife and I had Luke “opt out” of No Child Left Behind standardized testing (here in Pennsylvania known as the Pennsylvania System of School Achievement, or PSSAs).
  • Last week I did just that. I looked at the test and determined that it violated my religion. How, you might ask? That’s an entirely different blog, but I can quickly say that my religion does not allow for or tolerate the act of torture and I determined that making Luke sit for over 10 hours filling in bubble sheets would have been a form of mental and physical torture, given that we could give him no good reason as to why he needs to take this test.
  • ch a reason for opting out of the PSSA testing will negatively affect the school’s participation rate and could POTENTIALLY have a negative impact on the school’s Adequate Yearly Progress under the rules of No Child Left Behind.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The point was to give Luke some experience in how to conduct planned civil disobedience in a lawful manner.
  • This time, instead of having Luke sit through another meeting, he researched the Japanese earthquake and tsunami as a current events project.
  • I asked Luke what he thought about it all. He just smiled. I also asked him what some of his friends were saying. According to Luke, they did not believe that NCLB and PSSAs were going to be used to evaluate the school. They didn’t know about AYP and the sanctions that came with it. Luke’s friends just thought the tests, “were used to make sure our teachers are teaching us the right stuff.” My guess is that is what most parents believe. Why wouldn’t they believe it? They’ve been told for nine years that we are raising standards, holding teachers accountable, and leaving no children behind. Who wouldn’t support that?
  • That, of course, is the real problem. NCLB and the standards movement is a political bait and switch. Sold as one thing (positive) to the public and then in practice, something radically different (punitive). This is probably one of the biggest reasons I decided to do the boycott—to make my community aware and to try and enlighten them of the real issues.
  • My answer is that the government is not listening. Teachers, principals, teacher educators, child development specialists, and educational researchers have been trying to get this message out for years. No one will listen.
  • Civil disobedience is the only option left. It’s my scream in a dark cave for light. I want teachers to teach again. I want principals to lead again. I want my school to be a place of deep learning and a deeper love of teaching. I want children exposed to history, science, art, music, physical education, and current events—the same experience President Obama is providing his own children.
  • Maybe civil disobedience will be contagious. Maybe parents will join us in reclaiming our schools and demand that teachers and administrators hands be untied and allow them to do their jobs—engage students in a rich curriculum designed to promote deep learning and critical thinking.

    Another PA parent opts his child out of PSSA standardized testing as a measure of civil disobedience.  Word of caution:  This can very much hurt a school's Adequate Yearly Progress and ultimately the school may suffer.  But, what if this movement spread amongst parents?  What then?  Would the government take over the school?  Change is hard.

    These people are going to have a long line of recovery ahead of them. I'm sure a lot of help is going to be there for them, but nothing can replace friends and family that were lost.

    A school in chicago bans kids form taking in bagged lunches to protect them from them their own unhealthly choices. So then that they will eat better and eat healthy and watch their weight. But is it really better for kids to eat the school are they safe and healthy. Students must eat lunch or not some of them both but most of it was thrown away in the trash. Some kids parents think that it is a good idea but others think that its bad. Because what if you are picky and dont like the school linch or what they are severing then what do u do. Also plus what if you have allregys to some foods then what do you do. What would you do.

    Well then thats good at least they are getting somewhere with it all and reaching an agreement
  • Dominic W. on 12 Apr 11
     
    $40 Billion is a lot of money to just take away. They should atleast take it away in increments so people can adjust to it easier.
  • Stephanie A on 12 Apr 11
     
    I don't get why they are cutting budgets from the school's all around the world. I think that is so silly because people put us though school to learn and now there thanking them from us. So i guess they what us to be stupid and not get good jobs. A lot of people will lose jobs if this happens.
