Strip clubs, marijuana eyed during budget crunch - CNN.com - 0 views

Budget News

shared by Mary Richards on 29 Jul 09 - Cached

One of the more controversial ideas is to legalize the sale of marijuana, as proposed in a bill introduced in California's state legislature by Democratic State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano this year. The bill proposed taxing pot by $50 per ounce. If legalized, marijuana could become California's No. 1 cash crop, bringing in an estimated $1 billion a year in state taxes.

  I've never understood why Uncle Sam didn't do this years ago. What a great way to increase tax revenue. And, if there is a true concern over marijuana use (gateway drug and all that) what better way to put it out of the reach of kids by increasing the cost?

"There's a lot of misinformation out there about legal rights and responsibilities in the digital era. This is especially disconcerting when it comes to information being shared with youth. Kids and teens are bombarded with messages from a myriad of sources that using new technology is high-risk behavior. Downloading music is compared to stealing a bicycle - even though many downloads are lawful. Making videos using short clips from other sources is treated as probably illegal - even though many such videos are also lawful. This misinformation is harmful, because it discourages kids and teens from following their natural inclination to be innovative and inquisitive. The innovators, artists and voters of tomorrow need to know that copyright law restricts many activities but also permits many others. And they need to know the positive steps they can take to protect themselves in the digital sphere. In short, youth don't need more intimidation - what they need is solid, accurate information."

OH my. What a nightmare. The more I read this the angrier I got at the attorney who would think that this was the right thing to do. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Poof! 'Template writing' on FCAT shows up in 12 districts- - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 20 Jul 09 - Cached

Writing exams from 49 schools were found to have "template writing" -- instances in which students from the same school used identical or similar phrases on FCAT essays, such as "Poof! Now I'm in dragon land." The patterns were discovered when the exams were scored. Some educators blame the problem on FCAT, the state's high-stakes test, and the pressure to score well. The phrases found repeatedly seem an attempt to showcase colorful, creative writing, and they might be viewed that way if they were used by individual children. But when many youngsters in a school write the same way, the department suspects that rote memorization, rather than good writing, is at play.

  What do we think of this practice? Do we think it's "legal?" Fair? Or, is it just a sign of the enormous pressures brought on by those tests?
