		<description>I&#039;ve really noticed that fixing credit activity really needs to be conducted with techniques. If not, chances are you&#039;ll find yourself destroying your ranking. In order to grow into success fixing your credit rating you have to make sure that from this moment you pay your monthly fees promptly before their booked date. Really it is significant for the reason that by certainly not accomplishing so, all other activities that you will choose to adopt to improve your credit rating will not be helpful. Thanks for discussing your thoughts.</description>

		<description>If you’re still on the fence: grab your preferred earphones, head down to a Ideal Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which 1 sounds far better to you, and which interface makes you smile additional. Then you’ll know which is appropriate for you.</description>

		<description>Hey Sharon, what a surprise today.I was catching up on reading my &quot;regular blogs&quot; today and came across the mention of your great grandfather going to school in Jonesboro Maine. I live in Jonesboro, a small town of just over 500 people that just celebrated our bicentenial. This ofcourse included a look into the towns history and sharing of lots of old pictures including the old school (no longer standing) where I presume your great grandfather attended. I have been reading and enjoying your blog for about two years now,I had no idea you had ancestral roots in my town .</description>

		<description>Good stuff, Sharon, as always. You might be interested in a K-5 curriculum for the post-carbon era put together by two undergraduate students working on an independent study project, with minimal advice from me. It&#039;s posted on my blog: http://blog.ltc.arizona.edu/naturebatslast/2009/05/k-5_curriculum_for_the_post-ca.html</description>

		<description>OMG, Sharon. That is so awesome. I love reading that kind of stuff. The value in those books lies in so much more than their financial worth as &quot;antiques&quot;.</description>

		<description>What a thought provoking column, and I agree with the comments that link education to citizenship in a republic, an intrinsic value that, alas, we shrugged off long ago. Small-r republicanism demands civic engagement to counter corruption and keep government centered on the people, not on professionalized institutions.

		<description>Interesting column - the history of compulsory er government education was to pull people away from their religions to which people were loyal and turn them to wards (harsh term on my part) of the state er dependent on the state and good citizens.  There was no focus on academics.  Our education system came from the Prussian (German) system.  To me...it has worked.

Before compulsory education there was no such thing as adolescents.  Young people were productive in their teens or earlier.  Kids came to school knowing the basics because they were taught numbers and reading at home.  They knew the importance of education.  In addition literacy was much much higher than it is today.

The books of John Taylor Gatto and Charlotte Iserbyt (lives in Maine) shed an incredible amount of light on the history of compulsory education in the US.

Just my two cents worth...

Sharon -- I love your blog!! Keep up the great work!
