Snake Found in Toilet

At Woolner Avenue near Jane street and st. Claire west on Tuesday ,October 25,2011 at about 10 pm Ramdat Punwassie found a one meter long Python snake in his toilet,He claims that he wasn't scarred to find the snake in his toilet because he Say's that in his home country there were big snakes so he See's the snake and closes the door so he can call 911. And later the police come to remove the snake and 9 hours earlier the same police came to remove a 3 foot corn snake from the wall,when the police came to remove the Snake from Ramdat apartment they found that the snake travelled to the bathtub.If i was in his position i would be a little scarred because i don't know a lot about snakes so i don't know if it is poisonous or not ,but i know that if i don't bother the snake it wont bother me so i would just do what Ramdat did because you would be stupid to attempt to get the snake out yourself.And if you see any snakes in your house or apartment or condo i wouldn't be surprised because last year 6 snakes were reported missing but only 3 found so be careful and keep your eyes open for any snakes.

Nelly furtado's donation good or bad

Nelly Furtado did not do the right thing by giving the 1 million dollars to the free the children foundation.She should have returned it to the people of Libya because they need it much more.What she did wasn't bad but it wasn't right , there is a difference like if i found a wallet and it has a lot of money in it with id but instead of returning it to the person it belongs to i give it to someone else who needs it . See its the same thing.Now I'm not saying that the free the children foundation is rich and doesn't need money its just that the Libyans need it much more especially since Qaddafi has not been found and the rebels are bombing and fighting which is leaving a destructive trail behind them and because of this bombing,people are getting injured .So  the Libyans could really use the 1 million dollars.

The free the children foundation has lots of partners which help them get donations but how many donations can you list that help Libya i know that the free the children foundation's partners are kids horizon air Canada, B just B just you b you ,club penguin,ctv,national bank,inventory group,kpmg,me to we,mers,Ontario,Oprah's angel network,rim,skoll ,the keg,telus,Toronto star , and virgin Atlantic.So did Nelly make the right choice i don't know but for me its no !

My Opinion

Public schools full of rich kids raise more money than public schools full of poor kids . Which makes sense because the parents with more money ted to donate a lot of money like $500 and even $ 1000 per student during the 2008-09 school year.Take Rosedale it is just inherently better than one in Malvern. And know there talking about Banning Parental donation to public schools and leaving it all to the provincial government to fund all schools evenly. "The most marginalized 20% of schools...raise less than 1/3 of the funds that the least marginalized 20% of schools raise ."Which is because the schools full of poor kids raise less then 1/3 of the funds because there parents have no time and money to worry about those things .

It is true that the provincial curriculum should be available to all students without a extra dime being paid
. but there is this " While no students should be excluded from participating in any school activity or event based on the ability to pay, some activity or events .Nelson Mandela Park middle school's $16-per-student fundraising in line with Whitney Junior Public school's $1026 wont address the bedrock reason the former is ranked 2.0 by the Fraser Institute and latter 8.6.People have always debated the importance of social inequalities ,but nobody denies importance of  education.

SUMMARY

Public school full of rich kids raise more money from parents the public schools full of poor kids.
For example this week fundraising among the city's public schools were up to $500and even $1000 per student during 2008-09 school, year. Like the school in Rosedale is just better than the one in Malvern. Among TDSB schools ranked by the Fraser Institute based on standardized test scores, the top 10 fundraisers brought in $515 per students and got an average 8.75 out of 10 rating. The bottom 10fundraisere brought in$17 per students , and averaged a 5.3 rating .Or ,looking at it the other way: The top 10 TDSB schools in the Fraser Institute rankings all ranked 10 or 9.9 raised an average rating of $164.45 per student.The bottom 10, with an average of 2.3 , brought in an average of $58.64.The most any of them raised was $234.86 per student 73 schools raised more than that .And one of the 10-out-of10 schools was among the bottom-10 TDSB fundraisers .Great teachers are priceless,and donations mostly worthless without them.

Officially, the provincial curriculum should be available to all students without a single extra dime being paid. but then there is  this " While no student should Be excluded from participating in any school activity or event based on the ability to pay ,some activities or events may require some recovery of the cost for participation."
This is a certainly a good opportunity to consider the current state of our future public education.Fundraising should be spent on the kids who are worst off. Bring Nelson Mandela Park middle schools $16-per-student fundraising in line with Whitney Junior Public school $1026 wont address the bed rock reasons the former is rakes 2.0 by the Fraser Institute and the latter8.6.  People have always debated the importance of social inequalities, but nobody denies the importance of education .

E_learnig for Elementary

E-learning would not help students in elementary and would be a big waste of money. For example if we did an experiment in the Gr.8 class with E-learning and had to use e-learning i know i would easily get bored and go on a different website while using it like facebook,YouTube,msn ...etc. Or get tired and take a nap . And i can do this because its a computer in front of me not a human .

But if there is an actual teacher in front of the class teaching,I learn better because i stay focus . by stay focus i means i don't fall asleep while the teacher is teaching or if I'm bored i don't walk out of class or take something else out Because  the teacher would get mad and start yelling.

Which is why Teachers are better than e-learning!
