		<description><![CDATA[The International Baccalaureate (IB) program enumerates four “ways of knowing”: sense perception, emotion, language, and reason. Ironically, however, the IB program only uses three, consistently neglecting to use its common sense. Particularly in its Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) program, the IB program is ridiculously unreasonable and detached from reality. The IB program&#8217;s idealistic demands and [...]]]></description>

Lately I’ve been thinking about the differences in between school systems.  Where I used to live, France, the teachers were strict. They did not hesitate at calling us stupid, idiots, or (and this was not rare) mentally retarded.  The system was rigorous.  We had a college-type schedule, having two hours of French on Monday, none on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays, and then three on Fridays.

If you were absent for a test, there were no retakes.  You just got an ‘absent’ on your report card.  The schools weren’t afraid about holding people back.  ‘Left-backs’ were much more common in France then they are here; the French feel no sympathy for you in school.

As you can see, the American school system is almost a complete opposite of this system.  Teachers here don’t call you idiots; they manage to imply that you could have done a better job and they are disappointed in you.  They are much nicer in general.  My meanest teacher here, in this country, is nothing compared to my math teacher in France....

When I first learned about communism, as a little fifth grader, my class learned that, under communism, everyone is (or at least should be) paid the same.  Then came the crucial flaw; there is no motivation. If a postal worker is paid the same as a hardworking lawyer, there is no motivation for [...]]]></description>

Books. A friend, a foe, that REALLY boring one your English teacher made you write an essay on.  They are all around us, so why don’t we learn about the process of writing them.  If fiction books are so important, why doesn’t MCPS curriculum teach creative writing?
In English class essay writing is pushed [...]]]></description>
