The first year of school brings together 3 of society's most basic institutions; teachers, school systems, and families.  For beginning teachers, the first year will be a transitional period of applying teaching methods, developing relationships with students, faculty and peers, and parents, along with classroom dynamics that will test every teacher’s interpersonal skills.  For students, their first school year will be full of anticipation and the excitement of making new friends.  For parents, their child’s first school year will be a parting of sorts, as they will be separated for the first time and parents thoughts turn to wishing their child was still young and depending on mom and dad for everything.

Each of these groups would find the website http://www.educatevoice.com  to be insightful and informational regarding the first year of school.  Articles address teachers, students, and parents with interesting dialogue from each point of view.  Readers will find these articles well worth the time to investigate.

Each country's head of state must have the mistaken notion that Obama is going to be America's next president.  Information is free for the taking and Barrack's head is taking it all in.  How does one downplay the significance of one's opponent in a general election?  According to Obama's game plan, it involves acceptance of his reality of dialogue and run! 

The media would have you believe that millions of supporters around the world gather to back Obama's messages.  If we buy this notion, what does it say about America?  It says that America wants to "dialogue" its way into the political regimes that threaten our way of life.  Obama's American dream is talk and run!  As if America doesn't have the economic, political, or military might that it once had. 

Why does America need a public speaking debutant for it's next president?  Is it really saying that other countries would rather have an America to "talk" its way out of confrontation?  After all, we were talking our way out of war with Japan on December 7, 1941!  We tried to "talk" our way out of Vietnam in the early 70s!  We have tried to "talk" our way into a peace in Kosovo!

Obama doesn't get it, America! 

If we buy into his "game plan" then we are saying to the world that America is lazy and would rather quit than stand up to the forces of terrorism and despotism!  How in God's name did this guy become the Democrat's chosen candidate for president?  Liberals want to negotiate their way out of everything that is difficult!  It doesn't work, America!
