I read Boulder students protest pledge, under God.
Well while I was reading this article i actually again got a little mad. Even if you don't believe in got or don't belong to the church that really is no reason to not stand or do the pledge. Even people from other countries stand for our pledge when we do it. I have no problem for atheists or people that don't belong to religion but are open to it, I just feel that two words shouldn't keep you from doing something that has been done since the beginning of our country. At the beginning when the U.S. was created they gave you the right of religion and the idea of god in our pledge or on our bills wasn't meant to be apposing it was there just to say that our country was made for good, justice and mabey that we were just plain lucky. In any case I do not believe that two words should keep people from the pledge but since it is free will I guess they have their own judgment over the matter.

Are we learning what we need?
For this blog i read A Fundamental Disconnection?
This was a very interesting blog and it really made me think about the future in store for us. The topic about this was what we are learning in high school compared to college, and how we Arne’t learning the way we should how we are covering to many topics. This actually made a lot of sense to me, during my time during school. More noticeable in math, that we go through different topics almost three times a week and its kinda bad. Although we do go through a lot of topics and learn a lot during the year we don't spend enough time to get any of it really stuck in our heads so we are less prepared for the finals or CSAP. This way of teaching was probably taught to the teachers while they went to get their degrees in college, as opposed to the ones that went to get the college degrees. The blog really made me think about how we might learn different in college but i think because we have been through learning all of our lives that it wont be different enough to make it much harder, and who knows by 2011 when we graduate from high school we might only learn from videos or the computer.

local news
For this blog i read Boy, 7, who starved to death has no headstone. Rocky mountain news.
This story i had kind of mixed feelings the entire time i was reading through it. What happened was the kid was stuck with his stepdad who starved him to death, both the mom and step dad are being charged with murder. This story was very sad and i cant belive any one could do that to another human being. The fact that they would starve him instead of giving it to the biological father really makes me mad and I do belive they should be punished to the full extent of the law. This was a well written article even if it was over a very sad story.

education
For my education blog i read is it ok to be a techologically illiterate teacher? On the fischbowl.
To be truthful i actually found this one to be funny but it still brought up some thoughtfulness in me. This blog was more about critisizm about teachers trying to teach without technology which is a basic part of daily life. It made me wonder about teachers that might have to teach how to use some of the technology today and not know how to use it themselfs. Although I dont think I have put quite as much thought into the topic as he did it is quite an intresting question and might raise quite a few intresting ideas of the future. In this blog it also stated some things about socially acceptable like not being able to do math is socially acceptable but not being able to read isn't, the thought that technology could fit into that factor is kinda strange. I never considered computer use or cell phone use that important in daily life. Well even though this blog over education made me think a lot and somewhat confuse me it's an intresting topic even though I think it was meant more towards criticizm.
