Which areas would you like to see Government cut backs in?We Answered:
1. Without lowering defense spending by a dime, we could clear up 15 billion dollars a month just by getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Lets do that first.2. Then, lets fire a whole bunch of unneeded government employees. There are way too many. Have you ever been to a govt office? Mostly they just stand around and chat.
3. Lets cut back on pork projects, like Palins bridge to nowhere. You know, the pointless ones. And I'm sure Dem's have them too, so don't just vote me down because I used the P word.
4. Lets quit spending so much money putting Spanish everywhere. How about we just have one copy of each form and each sign, and make it in English.
5. Lets quit housing so many criminals. You know, the ones that kill other people and are just waiting to be killed. Or the ones that constantly commit crimes, and are in jail so much that they don't know how the real world operates. China has a good policy I hear. It's called the one bullet policy.
All this from a fairly liberal guy.

What was the specific teaching technique by which we all learned how to read when we were young?We Answered:
I don't think there is one method, but if your professor is fishing for an answer my guess is he is expecting phonics.I have found that having a full range of technique knowledge is the most useful way to approach reading education.
I have seen that the auditory learners thrive on phonics because the sounds are easy for them to remember but that that does not always equal good spellers. In fact, consistently the worst spellers I have worked with are the ones that lean way to the auditory learning style, yet they are the top readers.
By contrast, the visual learners find it faster and easier to read a whole word at a time rather than memorize all those spearate sounds. They struggle more with reading, often making wild guesses at words or unique connections such as reading "tin" as "iron" (one of my first graders kept doing this because his siblings are studying chemistry at the moment and he has knowledge that tin and iron are both metals). These visual learners do hit problems when they come across new words to read; however, they are fantastic at writing compositions with few spelling errors and they catch the errors of others faster than the phonetic-oriented auditory learners.
So, through personal experience, I am in disagreement with many if the stereotypical ideas that are currently out there about phonics and sight reading. I think the two techniques each have their own set of pros and cons and that learning styles play a more significant role in the successes and failures of each.

In the school system, when should students begin learning the basics of financial literacy?We Answered:
Kindy!It is never too early to learn the value of money and money does not come from a hole in the wall - unless you put it there first.
My children have learned that buying candy now stops them getting that "play station" at the end of the year. They know that you need to earn money. These concepts can be taught at an early age. A problem that you have is that these lessons are seldom reinforced at home - even in economic times like today.

Helping a child with aspergers learn literacy?We Answered:
My son is four and has high functioning autism, and that's a little bit different than Asperger's.Anyway here is a website that my son really likes.
It helps him with letters and words.
This program really isn't a download.. it's more online than anything.
My son also likes the pbskids.org website.. cause he loves PBS channel with shows like Martha Speaks, Curious George, and others.
He also likes playhouse Disney games also.
Strictly in terms of learning programs, I like Starfall the most.
