Their services are very expensive, and not everyone has the opportunity to turn to them for a service. I'm surprised that not many people know that you can <a href="https://onlinedivorcer.com/online-divorce-nebraska" rel="nofollow">file for a divorce in Nebraska</a> yourself. For this, you don't need to spend a lot of nerves and time. It is enough to fill out the form on the website and get the necessary documents for the divorce process in court.MollyMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12209724602755068526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-20360878774924511252013-03-25T14:51:28.172-04:002013-03-25T14:51:28.172-04:00Common Core may have been invented with good inten...Common Core may have been invented with good intentions. No Child Left Behind may have been invented with good intentions.<br /><br />Problem is, when you simply throw money at someones intentions, the bad people get in line first... Because... that is what bad people do.<br /><br />In both cases we have billions, being siphoned away from public schools (which were already imploding from the property tax bubbles bursting), into for-profit mechanisms that don't have to answer to parents,students or teachers. They answer only to their investors.... <br /><br />It is pretty easy to see where this is all heading... <br /><br />If there were a way to harness the private investment without a profit motive, and put that money into education where teachers were the sole arbitrators of whether a student passed or failed, we might get somewhere for a change...<br /><br />There are two ways I see to do that. Both involve taxes. One is to tax corporations an additional amount exclusively for schools, obviously a messy proposition. The other is to raise corporate tax rates to then write off some corporate taxes corresponding to the amount they choose to donate hands free into the educational system... <br /><br />You are right about the quality being taught... If not already clued in, check out the Common Core being used in Ontario, where it is being used as an augmentation device, and not as an accountability hammer. That distinction seems to be producing results.kavipshttp://kavips.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
