Murder Suspect, Caught and Deported from Rocky Mountain News.
This article really interested me as I skimmed through the headlines on Google Reader. Coming from a Mexican family, I feel somewhat connected to this story. Honestly, I'm appalled with the United States right now because of Immigration. I feel that so many poor people are coming from the Latin America's to find work, so that they can support their families, and we deny them respect they deserve. This entire country is built on foreign families coming together, and becoming a melting pot. However, I think that it's good we have the ability to find fugitives from entirely different countries. How safe do you feel now? I think it's great that we have so many capabilities available and that science has greatly advanced, it gives our future generations a great foundation. Our kids, and our grandkids will live in time much more civilized and probably more advanced than we can dream of. Also, I think it's amazing that America is playing by the rules and actually cooperating with others, that's something we don't do well.
What Do You Think of Tests? from The Fischbowl
How many tests have you taken this week? Actually, how many tests have you taken this year? I hate tests, and if you are anything like me, you do too. I don't think tests actually represent how much you know, there are just too many kids that freeze up under that pressure. I'm sick of teachers insisting on giving us pointless tests, why aren't there just frequent quizzes? Quizzes aren't worth as many points, and they are as important. I think it's better to get rid of tests altogether, they prove nothing. Grades would be higher without them, and the learning wouldn't decrease at all.

I wouls say that i take an average of 2-3 test and quizies a week. I agree what is the real menaing of doing these test. I think that it would be fear that the teachers give us take home test becasue even if they are take home test than we still have to have that information writen some where in are notes, and this could possible make us think more about that topic than just remembering it for a test.
I think that tests can be very helpful. I just wish they didn't effect grades. I wish that teachers could just give you a test to see what you knew, and help you more with what you don't understand. I guess sometime sthey do that, but the majority of the time they just give you a test, you see your grade, adn they're onto the next thing, and whether you understood it or not, you're expected to know the material inside and out and retain it, aklong with keeping your grade happily.
