2008-07-16 12:51:00 CINCINNATI (AP) - John McCain is telling the NAACP he will expand education opportunities for children in failing schools. McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, on Wednesday is addressing the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization. In excerpts released in advance of the speech, McCain says that the worst educational problems in the country are often found in schools in black communities and that as president he will provide greater school choices and scholarships for such students. Full Story Here: McCain pledging to NAACP more education options The very 1st thing I have to say is this, John McCain is a damned liar, as President he won’t do one thing more to help anyone than any other pandering politico before him. If there was anything more to be done to help the *plight* of the *BLACK* community, the Dems would have already put those tax draining programs in p...

Bob Barr on the department of education
2008-06-24 14:44:00 Bob Barr on the department of educationJune 24, 2008 12:13 am EST Atlanta, GA -- The federal Department of Education is spending almost $70 billion this year on a function not even mentioned in the Constitution. “The Department should be closed down and the money left with the American people to use for education at the family, local, and state levels,†says Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party presidential nominee. While spending so much money on programs that should not exist, in 2003 the Congress created a small voucher program started for students in Washington, D.C., which has some of the worst schools in the nation. Now the Democratic majority is planning on killing the initiative, putting nearly 2000 students back into the failed public school system. “The only federal education program Congress wants to get rid of is the one doing the most to help poor kids,†observes Barr. But since education is not a federal responsibility, “a better way to promote...

A Blueprint for Design Education 2.0
2008-06-18 06:06:00 I often like to get myself into a spot of teaching, collaborating with and critiquing students. I find it enhances and consolidates what I have learned in my career in Design. I do recommend that designers, especially the senior ones, take some time off work to rub shoulders with people in a learning environment. But I digress. During some of my short exchanges at academic institutions, I noticed that most design educators have to struggle with juggling and managing studio projects and yet still maintain the academic requirements of tertiary institutions. Many times these requirements do no align. So I had and interesting thought. Is it possible that the foundation of structured rigorous learning that academic institutions are built upon, is not really conducive for the more fluid project based and lateral thinking style of a design studio? If so, what if we had the opportunity to create a design program from scratch without any influence of, for example, a Unive...

Violet Affleck Gets An Education
2008-06-11 02:29:00 Little Violet Affleck's not quite so little anymore. The Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck spawn enjoyed her first day of school in Santa Monica, CA and was taken home by her doting mommy. I'm guessing it was pre-school because she's two and some change. There are so many pictures of Jennifer out and about with her little one. If she told me she didn't have a nanny, I'd be inclined to believe her, unlike this one...unless of course she doesn't consider her mother, who is chained to the radiator and forced to care for her famous daughter's twins, to be a "nanny" per se.

Bahamas: Minister Rejects National Lottery Suggestion To Fund Education In
2008-06-09 18:44:00 Education Minister Rejects Nat?l Lottery Suggestion: By Viraj Perpall - Nassau, Bahamas: Minister of Education Carl Bethel has denied that the government plans to establish a national lottery over the next 10 years to fund education in The Bahamas.

Real Estate Optimism or Foolishness? A Move Toward ?Buyer Education?
2008-06-04 16:41:00 The real estate caused global credit crunch shows signs of spreading like a fierce cancer to areas of the economy no one would have expected or predicted only a few months ago. News this week that some major banks are no longer giving student loans to those enrolled in two year community colleges because of concerns those students may be a bad credit risk–which in nonsense, but an excuse being used nonetheless. The chief executive of Wachovia was forced to walk the plank while Standard & Poors sliced the credit ratings for three investment banks, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. In Great Britain, one mortgage lender has issued a very dark and somber report on the near future of the housing market in the U.K. Optimism or Foolishness?

2008-06-04 06:21:00 Working in the education sector was always a weekend activity, not a potential employment avenue. But in an emerging wave, students from the best academic institutes are getting inclined towards making a mark in the field of education.Think of an Indian Institute of Management (IIM) or Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) graduate, and the first thing to come to mind is a plush job either in investment banking, consultancy or IT. However, the likes of Vardan Kabra and Ankita Diwekar-Kabra ? students of IIM-Ahmedabad 2004 batch ? are changing this thinking.This duo conceptualised the Fountainhead Education Foundation ? a custom-designed pre-school and childcare centre in Surat for children between the age of one and five adapted from internationally renowned methods."I got a Rs 7 lakh pre-placement offer from Procter and Gamble (P & G).
