Songs of the BC Public Education System, 2011
Songs of the BC Public Education System, 2011
-produced by Under-Funded Records, BC. -featuring the collective voice of BC Teachers -special guests: George Abbott and Christy Clark Despite our significant court victory on Bills 27 and 28 last April, the government still refuses to restore the learning conditions that were stripped from our collective agreements nearly a decade ago. Without the firm limits in place, the government was able to take the equivalent of $336 million away from public schools every year for a decade. Nearly six months have gone by since this legislation was ruled unconstitutional, yet students are still waiting for the support and resources they need. In the absence of the firm guarantees in collective agreements and corresponding funding, conditions for students and teachers have steadily declined and the system has been robbed of the funding that's desperately needed. If those firm collective agreement provisions were in place today, we would have approximately 3500 more teachers in the system, teachers helping to provide our students with the support they need.

Liz Losh and Henry Jenkins - Mobility Shifts | The New School
THE NEW SCHOOL | www.newschool.edu Mobility Shifts | Mobilityshifts.org Liz Losh and Henry Jenkins - Can Public Education Co-Exist with Participatory Culture? Losh and Jenkins offer a progress report on whether and in what ways the public schools and universities are going to be able to absorb or meaningfully deploy what Jenkins calls "participatory culture." Rather than an abstract discussion of a theoretical construct drawn from their supposedly opposite positions studying fan culture and institutional rhetoric respectively, the two will discuss concrete experiences of young people acting appropriately or not, inside or outside the classroom. What might a participatory learning culture look like? What policies make it hard for even supportive teachers to achieve in their classrooms? What stakeholders would need to be engaged in order to change the current cultures of our school? How might participatory learning take place beyond the schoolhouse gates? What is everyone afraid of? Liz Losh is the author of Virtualpolitik An Electronic History of Government Media-Making in a Time of War, Scandal, Disaster, Miscommunication, and Mistakes and the Director of the Culture, Art, and Technology program at Sixth College at UC San Diego. She writes about institutions as digital content-creators, the discourses of the "virtual state," the media literacy of policy makers and authority figures, and the rhetoric surrounding regulatory attempts to limit everyday digital practices.

Santorum: Government-Paid Religious Schools?
Santorum: Government-Paid Religious Schools?
"Christian schools" would be one form of government-funded education, per Rick Santorum. He wants to get rid of national or even state standards for the quality of education, and have each parent decide what curriculum the school should give each child. How would schools and teachers deal with this? Why would government funds be used to pay for religiously-based schools?

High School Students from Macedonia say YES to a year in the USA
High School Students from Macedonia say YES to a year in the USA
On Thursday, August 12, Public Affairs Officer Angela Aggeler hosted a large reception for high school students from Macedonia about to depart for the United States for a year-long high school exchange program. The program is called YES -- the Youth Exchange and Study program -- and is supported directly by the US State Department. We greatly enjoyed hosting the event -- and enjoyed even more the individual stories of the departing and returning students. Also invited were the parents of the departing students as well as the returning high school students from last year's YES program. The beautiful weather and relaxed ambience set the stage for the departing students and their proud parents to learn more about the experience. YES was established in 2002 to provide scholarships for high school students to spend an academic year in the United States. Macedonia joined the program in 2009. Students live with host families, attend high school, engage in activities to learn about American society and values - and help educate Americans about their countries and cultures. The goals of the program are: • to promote a better mutual understanding between cultures • to learn leadership skills • to foster lasting personal ties and Upon their return, students apply their now leadership skills in their home countries. Many students become involved in community service activities including clothing drives, mentoring younger children and English teaching and much more. This scholarship <b>...</b>

US Textbooks: Muslims Discovered America
US Textbooks: Muslims Discovered America
Saudi-funded textbooks being used in America's K-12 classrooms. Teaching, among other things, that Jesus was a "Palestinian," the state of Israel never existed, and that the Muslims discovered America before Columbus. At this rate, perhaps even Saudi grade-school textbooks, complete with jihadi and dhimmi declarations, will come to instruct American school-children. ooo OOO ooo "Public Schools Teach the ABCs of Islam," by Erick Stakelbeck for CBN News, October 9, 2008: CBNNews.com - Several recent studies have shown that American students are alarmingly ignorant about US history and world events. Experts have contributed the problem to everything from failing schools to substandard teachers. But what about content? For instance, did you know that Muslims discovered America? Or that Jerusalem is an Arab city? That's just some of the "history" that students in America's K-12 classrooms have been taught in recent years--with the help of taxpayer money. A new report by the non-profit Institute for Jewish and Community Research finds that American high school and elementary textbooks contain countless inaccuracies about Christianity, Judaism, Israel and the Middle East. The Institute examined 28 of the most widely-used history, geography and social studies textbooks in America. It found at least 500 errors. One book ignored the Jewish roots of Christianity, saying the faith was founded by a "young Palestinian" named Jesus. Another stated as fact that the Koran was revealed to <b>...</b>

Pidgin: The Voice of Hawaiʻi
Pidgin: The Voice of Hawaiʻi
Born on sugar plantations and spoken by more than half of Hawaiʻi's population, the Pidgin language - part English, part Hawaiian, with pieces of Chinese, Japanese, and Tagalog mixed in - captures the essence of multi-ethnic Hawaiʻi. Pidgin: The Voice of Hawaiʻi profiles this working-class language from its rise from plantation jargon to a source of island identity and pride. In the 1920s, English Standard Schools - government funded public schools that refused to admit Pidgin-speaking children - fueled anti-Pidgin, anti-Asian sentiment and left behind a legacy of shame in speaking Pidgin. Drawing on a variety of sources, including archival, academic and other expert commentary, interviews and performance to shed light on this colorful language, the documentary charts how over time, Pidgin speakers have been moved to take pride in their language. Learn more about Pidgin: The Voice of Hawaiʻi on PIC's website: www.piccom.org/programs/pidgin-voice-hawaii Available until September 2013 through APT.

State Blood Milk Addiction - True News from Freedomain Radio
State Blood Milk Addiction - True News from Freedomain Radio
www.libertopia.org The reason that political action will not work is that it is simply a numbers game -- here is the proof. Slightly over half of all Americans 52.6 percent now receive significant income from government programs, according to an analysis by Gary Shilling, an economist in Springfield, NJ That's up from 49.4 percent in 2000 and far above the 28.3 percent of Americans in 1950. 1 in 5 Americans hold a government job or a job reliant on federal spending. A similar number receive Social Security or a government pension. About 19 million others get food stamps 2 million get subsidized housing 5 million get education grants. For all these categories, Mr. Shilling counted dependents as well as the direct recipients of government income. (also, free daycare from state schools) Approximately 85% of the state's 235000 employees (not including higher education employees) are unionized. As the governor noted during his $83 billion budget roll-out, over the past decade pension costs for public employees increased 2000%. State revenues increased only 24% over the same period. A Schwarzenegger adviser wrote in the San Jose Mercury News in the past few days that, "This year alone, $3 billion was diverted to pension costs from other programs." There are now more than 15000 government retirees statewide who receive pensions that exceed $100000 a year, according to the California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility. Many of these retirees are former police officers <b>...</b>

BBC : Chinese School (Young pioneers)
Episode 3 - youtu.be Education in the People's Republic of China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years. The government provides primary education for six years, starting at age six or seven, followed by six years of secondary education for ages 12 to 18. Some provinces may have five years of primary school but four years for middle school. There are three years of middle school and three years of high school. The Ministry of Education reported a 99 percent attendance rate for primary school and an 80 percent rate for both primary and middle schools. In 1985, the government abolished tax-funded higher education, requiring university applicants to compete for scholarships based on academic ability. In the early 1980s the government allowed the establishment of the first private schools. China has had a major expansion in education, increasing the number of undergraduates and people who hold doctoral degrees fivefold in 10 years. In 2003 China supported 1552 institutions of higher learning (colleges and universities) and their 725000 professors and 11 million students. There are over 100 National Key Universities, including Beijing University and Tsinghua University. Chinese spending has grown by 20% per year since 1999, now reaching over $100bn, and as many as 1.5 million science and engineering students graduated from Chinese universities in 2006. China published 184080 papers as <b>...</b>
