    Performance Based Teacher Bonuses

    Your Point is Very Valid, but "Performance" of a teacher should not be the grade of the student necessarily. A teacher's job is to teach and educate, I think a more accurate way to measure teacher performance would be periodic cumulative exams, that don't have to have any on the grade...

    China Sneezes And Usa Falls Down

    War with one doesn't necessarily mean war with all. And may I remind you that no one knew about the horrors of the holocaust, until after the war. There were rumors, and unsubstantiated claims, but no one knew, not even very many German civilians.

    Gay Marriage? Or just legal benefits

    Well... I suppose I must, I guess

    Gay Marriage? Or just legal benefits

    science and religion are different, and in some instances completely opposite. If you worshiped Pluto, that would make sense. If I simply thought that marriage was a scientific definition, I wouldn't care.

    Gay Marriage? Or just legal benefits

    #1 I started this thread #2 you are wrong, and here is why. You propose to make the state change the definition of marriage. This would affect my religious, and therefore, mental wellbeing, in effect harming me. I am fine with your changing the definition of the word, but I propose a new word...

    'US is within our firing range'

    its funny, but that small little sentence completely gave me what I have been missing in some of my arguments, thank you so very much

    'US is within our firing range'

    I suppose you are right, but who are the good guys if we are inadvertently killing innocents?

    Pro-Lifers and Genocide

    Hey, thanks for the lesson in using this thing, but after I highlighted what I want, what do I click? I'm still really unfamiliar with it, so I just did this post how I know how. Also, just wanted to say that I really enjoy debating with you. You don't take any arguments personally and remain...

    Homework Waiver!

    Agreed, but the focus is not on graded homework, the focus here is on passing the test. The teacher assigns homework so that you will understand the material so that you can pass the test. I agree with the reading, thats fine. When a teacher assigns required notes, however, thats when I get...

    Homework Waiver!

    well, thats great! You wouldn't have had to use the system. It's not the school, it's the teacher. If good teachers are gravitated to the private school system, and those schools have less mundane homework... It seems to suggest that homework is a weapon used by bad teachers to get kids to sit...

    Homework Waiver!

    You can't count on kids not falling behind regardless of the system you use. Absolute losers are going to continue to be absolute losers. With my proposed system, there is a good chunk of kids that can be properly motivated to succeed. Well... why do they have to? Because everyone needs to be...

    Mandatory HPV Vaccines

    sorry about that, thanks for the edit

    Homework Waiver!

    anecdotal, but valid nonetheless. I suppose that the waiver should have a liability written on it. Something like: The undersigned agrees that the school is not liable for your child's grades, yep thats right, you must now take responsibility and teach it to him/her I have tests about once...

    Mandatory HPV Vaccines

    uh... no. I would fear a government that makes anything that they do not know everything about mandatory. I fear a government that forces something on me, and my own personal body. my apologies then I gave you the list, those were the names of the shots and their listed ingredients, here...

    Homework Waiver!

    and then they lose it. IF YOU DO NOT MAINTAIN HIGHER THAN A B (B+) IN THE CLASS YOU ARE GETTING THE WAIVER IN, YOU LOSE THE WAIVER PRIVILEGES if a student slacks off, and manages to keep a B+, they deserve it, or the teacher need to take a serious look at the difficulty of his/her curriculum
