Good article. I liked the comment! To make positive change, there is a formula that can work. 1. The center of curriculum revolves around the Common Core State Standards. 2. Common formative assessments are developed and analyzed measuring the students' abilities of the standards. 3. An engaging and relevant content curriculum that matches the skills we are teaching our children. 4. Use proven research-based instruction in the classroom. It sounds easy, but we tend to focus too much on content and testing as opposed to skill development.

Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.

The annual anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 passed with much fanfare as it has been passing ‎for last ten years. Taking stock of things as an ordinary US citizen, you will feel that as an ‎individual, you have lost much and as a country, the United States has lost even more than you ‎do. The first blow that the incident of 9/1 caused was restrictions on the personal freedoms ‎specifically if you belong to Muslim and Indian community, having your surname or first name ‎sounding Muhammad, Mahmood or Ahmad. You go through constant hassles and mental ‎torture of eves dropping by the security agency and then bickering and slander by the all and ‎sundry as if you are a walking anathema in the United States. Thought this is not common and ‎widespread, yet it is a fact that several Asian and Middle Eastern Muslims have testified. ‎ The second fallout is decrease in tolerance and misuse of the freedom of expression. Again the ‎most of the victims are Muslims even though one has been living in the United States for ‎decades. A home to so many freedom loving persons, the United States is no more considered a ‎safe haven for several migrant Muslim communities. They are no more tolerated in the same ‎way as they used to enjoy freedom before the 9/11 and second is attacks that should be called ‎vicious attacks like the fellow Terry Jones and recently filming against Islam and Prophet ‎‎[PBUH] are quite on the rise. It is sheer misuse of freedom of expression that different anti-‎Islamic demagogues are spitting their venom using social media and other platforms and ‎creating physical violence. The consequence is that the Americans specifically ordinary ‎Americans are becoming targets of the ensuring violence as it has happened in Libya and Egypt ‎the other day.‎

* Need Flash! MU.S.EU.M's aim is to offer some reflections on internet related to the heritage of the European ancient civilizations by creating the "Virtual museum of the European roots" which we envisage as a e-service and take as a pilot project for the prehistoric collections held n trust by the partner museums. This web site documents how Europe is founded upon a common ancient matrix, which is consequential to the rigid boundaries, to continuous migrations and interactions and to a plurality of cultural roots and imprints.
