Hypothetical question for you: Suppose you have full control over the primary and secondary education systems of your nation (that is, everything up to, but not including, college/university). You may entirely rewrite the curriculum to include whichever subjects you want, and cast out whichever you feel are worthless. What would you include? I'd start by casting out a lot of English literature and analysis and refocusing on composition, rhetoric, and argumentation. I'd also expand the teaching of world history, particularly the history of the past few hundred years -- I'd like a populace that understands why our nations have ended up the way they are.

I've never been to the U.S.A. and I'd like to ask if those who live there consider English to be a foreign language ?

For the first time in many years on the Internet, I am experiencing the pleasure of discussing God, outside of the Judo/Christian box that most people force on discussions of God. In part this is because of the quality of people attracted to SF(n), it is also because the moderators and owner have allowed this discussion to take place. This is a huge difference compared to being banned for speaking of God as a fact, and totally preventing any discussion of God that is not in the Judo/Christian box. It is the essence of the meaning of freedom of speech, because it gives us the freedom to investigate truth. I know there was concern about allowing discussion of God in …

Recently i have started somthing of a wild fire in my office. To make a long story short i have rallied up the employees to submit a formal review and restructure of the way this company's pay is.

I was wondering if anybody has any idea's comments ideas etc. And is this the best way to accomplish this task of going up against a corparate juggernaut? If you want more details just ask.

My current situation is that my two roommates will be moving out near the end of July. New leases start on August 1st. However, I will be graduating in December. As such, if I choose to stay, I will need to get new roommates. However, the bigger problem is putting the bills in my name, which would involve electricity, gas, telephone, and Internet. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, because maybe people will ditch the apartment the first few weeks. Furthermore, because I'm not staying a whole year, I'd have to transfer the bills to someone else come December, so that might deter keeping the roommates around. I took an active role on ditching television, because I…

Hello there, I'm an avid reader of the forums. I'm confused by the management...is this forum now run by some sort of Scientology company? thanks

I know some of you like to read science fiction and I had the idea of what is the most outrageous or surprising idea in science fiction for a habitat for life that has ever been portrayed in science fiction but is also entirely possible? My vote goes to the smoke ring in the book "The Integral Trees" by Larry Niven life evolving in a weightless environment inside a gas ring around a neutron star. We know gas rings are possible, Titan forms one, admittedly a tenuous one, around it's primary Saturn, but in this book the gas ring is far denser owing to the neutron stars huge gravity well, an oxygen nitrogen atmosphere, small asteroids and rocks orbiting inside the ring,…

So yesterday, I found out my father was going to be sent back to Iraq a week earlier than usual. So I talked to one of my best friends about it.... he implied that I should get over it. So I got angry at him and told that talking to him was a waste of my time. I then signed out of facebook and took one of those "angry naps." When I woke up about an hour later, I felt terrible. I mean, just awful, you know? I shouldn't have snapped at him like that. Plus, now I'm not even sure if he knew what he was implying...So I apolgized to him, but he wasn't back on facebook, which is weird for him, because he usually signs back in around one o' clock, even after we sometimes have a f…

I am really enjoying the thread about what is the best school curriculum, but through the history of education, the purpose of education has changed many times, and the purpose of education is not being addressed in the thread about curriculum. Why spend the money to educated anyone?

How effective is social control by means of gossip and reactions to the knowledge gained through gossip? Are people subconsciously prone to behaving in ways that maintain a good reputation or is there a great deal of freedom to behave as you please and enjoy a happy social life regardless of what others say about you to each other?

How much alcohol do you recommend people to drink? http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/mar/07/safe-level-alcohol-consumption Also, did anybody recently here in the news about the link between alcohol consumption and breast/colon cancer? I think it's unsafe but how can we get rid of this tradition when alcohol is so embedded into our culture? And for the record, I blame Jesus, what the heck was he thinking turning water into wine... ...very irresponsible for him to have done that I think.
