Teachers-Training And Children!
Being a teacher in the USA:
It is not easy being a teacher in the USA. Some children here seem to have little or no regard for whoever stands at that Chalk Board. Much less listen to or obey some of their instructions.
And some children (especially young boys), who are taller and bigger than their class teacher, feels that he can do anything, and his teacher dare not challenge him, and disregard some of their instructions.
College Aspirations:
How many Secondary School graduates can afford to attend a four or two year college in the USA today?
I guess no many, for the following reasons.
* If you are from a lower income or working class background, especially a Single Parent who provides for your needs.
Chances are, even with scholarships, you may never be able to attend college full time for four years straight.
* The Semester fees are enormous, the cost for text books are always raising, especially at the end of every Semester.
* Computers, travel, snacks, and other personal essentials add up on a daily basis.
* Most colleges want their tuition fees up front, especially if you are a freshman or woman.
So it does not matter how brilliant a child is after High School. He/she must be able to provide tuition fees, or get loans in order to attend any two or four year college.
And when he/she graduates, is left with several thousands of dollars in (student loans with interest), to pay for decades after graduating from college.

The New Consumer Protection Agency Czar!

September 17-2010:
The New Consumer Protection Agency Czar!
Elizabeth Warren (Asst. Advisor To The President, and Special Advisor To The Treasury), is now The New Consumer Protection Agency Advisor.
She has made it quite clear her intention to just setup the Agency, but has no aspiration to become Head of that department.
Fearing that the Republicans will not favor her in that position, and will frustrate the process as best they can, to prevent her nomination to that position.
QUESTIONS:
* To whom would she be subordinate to?
* Would this agency be autonomous?
* Could this agency bring Legal action against any Business, Bank, Broker, or Insurance company if it can be proven, that they have defrauded some consumer/s or have used misleading information, advertising, or jargon to exploit consumers?
* Would the employees of this agency be Federal Employees, which would allow them to access or receive Federal Health care benefits, salaries, etc?
These are salient questions which need answers right now!
