American Idiot

Does Michael Moore's overly outlandish claims and statements actually give some credence to the points he is trying to make?

What did you find in his article to be true?

Do you agree that we are a nation of Idiots?

Idiot Nation

Does anyone else see the significance of newspaper over the Internet? Or news programs on tv? Should we be forced learn a foreign language? Would you agree that the only way to get a mass involment in politics is of their was some kind of give a way or some sports lIke atmosphere?

Idiot Nation

1) do you think that Moore just says things to get himself in the spotlight?
2) do you think that just because we don't read the news paper that makes us stupid?
3) do you think that Bush's grades at Yale really have anything to do with how well you run a country?

Idiot Nation

1) Do you believe our challenge is to make politics as engaging as sports?
2) Would you agree that our problem is that adults who pay students tuition are no better than the students on how much they know?
3) Do you think that we shouldn't be required to learn foreign languages as stated in the article?

Idiot Nation

Do you think people are really this stupid?

Do you feel Moore takes his argument to the extreme?

How do you think you would have done on this test?

Idiot Nation

I personally did not like this article. I don't like his negativity towards our way of life and think he is just bitter about his own life. He basically says high school is some kind of sick joke, I personally loved high school, he probably just had a bad experience and is generalizing it. I also thought it was ignorant of him himself to say things like "As Americans, we have quite a proud tradition of being represented by ignorant high-ranking officials", our country is pretty well off, I think our leaders deserve credit for it. Would you agree with this?

What kind of priority do you think we place on education in America?

On the other hand, something I really do agree with in the article is the fact that teachers are not given enough credit, respect, or even pay. He makes a good point saying something like, a teacher is someone other than yourself that your child will spend a whole lot of time with and the teacher will really influence them, therefor wouldn't we want the teacher to be the best. Since teachers don't get paid much, they are desperate for teachers and don't always get to hire "the best". Would you agree that teachers should be paid more and given more credit?

Idiot Nation

1) Does anyone else think Michael Moore is a bit full of himself?
2) Do you think he over generalizes a lot?
3) Do you think the problem with education is a lack of caring on both the students and teachers part?

Idiot Nation

1. Why is he so negative towards our way of living?
2. Is he being fair to those who love sports?
3. How many of you guys actually read for fun?

Debt by Degrees

1) Will our college debt ruin our chances of being happy?
2) How long does it take the average college graduate to pay off their debt?
3) What is causing this "bubble"?

College Debt

Congress is constantly trying to improve our tests scores so we look good in comparison to other nations. Why not make higher education free? Is paying $80,000+ for a piece of paper worth it? If you knew you could do well without a degree would you still go to college?

Debt by Degrees

Do you think college is a scam, and a rip off? or do you think it's worth it?

Do you think some one with a degree and some one with out a degree can be successful?

What struggles/sterotypes do people without degree face?

Blog ABGW

Paraphrasing can be used in a paper?

Why does some Plagiarism still occur?
