Imran: I have actually learned very little about the US government in college - I haven't taken a single course on that subject. My high school civics course was actually quite good though, if a little simplistic.

Most people will take the US government class in college. Usually they have a reputation for being 'easy' and fulfill a social sciences requirement.
High school civics is also not required in every district and a lot of times less people will take it, because of all the requirements that do exist to finish high school (college is more open).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

This is exactly why I think the state and federal governments need to get over their "you are required to do this and this stadardized assignment and/or test" fetish and LET THE TEACHERS TEACH!Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Yes, but I'm proposing "you are required to" teach civics

Civics class was a requirement in my high school. Not only that, but the school insisted that seniors register to vote. Since then, I've missed only one election.
As for those who believe in censorship, they'll find out at some point in life how horribly wrong they were in their youth.

I did notice how Kincaid was backing up Freddie Mitchell for being an idiot, but if he was on another team, there would be an "On the Carpet".

I say the third of the kids who are budding dictators, should be taken to new schools, made to wear uniforms, denied all electornic equipment, and beaten if they speak out of turn or misbehave. They should be happy with that sort of discipline.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Of your socialist end . The article makes no mention of how they feel about socialism. If anything we are raising them to be authoritarian.

It is applied to their own lives. WHEN THEY GROW UP! Why wouldn't they want freedom of speech when they grow up, if they are oppressed now?Originally posted by OzzyKP
Is it any wonder there is a lack of respect for the first amendment among individuals forced into schools that blatantly disrespect it? How can someone truly respect and learn an appreciation for an amendment that at best is an abstraction, and at worst is a cruel joke. Students are asked to memorize the amendment, but it is never applied to their own lives. No wonder many are misinformed and cynical.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...

Granted, but then, I'm an old offensive lineman, so I have a soft spot for Dukes. Buck is still living off one pass to Lindsay Scott and the ability to hand the ball to Herschel Walker every play.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

I think you're overanalysing this data...
Every kid must finish High School in US in order to continue their studies, right? Do you still remember how seriously these standardised tests were taken when you were in compulsory school?Last edited by RGBVideo; March 1, 2005, 23:57.Comment
