You must understand that school is simply a social-engineering center that wants to dictate the beliefs of young children. Creativity must be halted to ensure that popular belief maintains and that people cannot see through the false facade of bankers, politicians, and many other severe issues.

How long have schools in New Orleans been transitioning to charter schools?
"Over the last however many years, the charter school movement in New Orleans has transitioned many schools into charters." I need to fill in that "however many years".
Since the public school system began reopening in 2006 after Katrina. Before that (for 30 years) the public school system was run like Marion Barry’s Washington DC.
Building the Go-Kart (High School Senior Project Video)
(Music By Juno Reactor)
The first video thats related to this is the entire video. this is just a demo.
heres the Specs:
This project was done for a graduating grade at my high school. the grade on it was a 98% and i got a 95 on my speech (which was 12 minutes long.) this was the video i showed during my presentation.
this project took a total of 2 to 3 months of work, and i started with ordering a set of go-kart plance from Don’s DIY Den (diyden.net.) The go-kart was origionally designed for a 5 horsepower motor, but i put in a monster 18 horsepower twin cylinder motor. it wasnt the BEST idea because the ngine is on the side and it is kind of off weight. other than that and the crappy breaks, there are no real problems with it.
The frame used mostly .095″ one inch square tubing, and for the braces and brackets, i used 1/4″ sheet metal.
All of the parts in which i did not build or find from friends, i obtained from northern tool (northerntool.com.) some parts like the front wheels and steering wheel, i got from friends or yard sales. i got the engine from my stepbrother Tony moore who i thank dearly. the engine is $1400 brand new. it was used in Iraq to power a giant frige. tony bought it to grind up horse poop. and i got it for free.
This thing started up the first pull and yes, i know the mixure is off, but once we got this thing working, it topped out at about 50 MPH, andhad real nice handling. not that great of a turning radious, but good handling.
the clutch was actually a belt clutch and i welded on a sprocket, and it worked perfectly. it is a single speed which is similar to second gear. im DYING for a two pully centrifugal clutch system so i can get all my horsepowers out. either that or some shifter clutch five speed
i have done substantial work since this video. the front shocks DO look bent. theyre not. single A-arm suspentions do move around like that. i admit it does look dumb, SO i put some real beefy shocks up front, and it did give it a four or five inch lift. and now it doesnt look bent anymore. it went from lookling like
this:
/-\
to this
|-|
Rob and i welded on it using some TIG a lot of MIG, but mostly flux chore welding. i used PAC to cut some pieces and i used a hydraulic sheer to cut and bend a lot of the bracings, mounts, and brackets.
this project took a tootal of $700 dollars. its a good price considering the fact that the motor is $1300 brand new.

#60 – Top Rated (This Month) – Autos & Vehicles
#48 – Most Discussed (This Month) – Autos & Vehicles
(UPDATE 11/1/07)- I found this project to be a big dissapointment to my highschool career. its honestly one of my biggest accomplishments i will ever complete in my lifetime, and i was not accredited properly. the school had an award ceremony for the best senior projects. it was narrowed down to the special edd kids, the dance kids welding stuff, and so on. it was completely rediculous. a girl got an award for learning how to dance. a kid got an award for learning how to play drums. every single award was like that. no big accomplishments at all. and no award for me. all this was done with my bare hands. i put more effort into this than most of thie kids didn on theirs in the 3000 student school. and the schools system wasnt professional enough to even notice my project.
even though i felt like it was a horrible waste of time when i didnt get any awards, its still an accomplishment for me.
the gokart is currently sitting out in my backyard. it still runs good, but i still need to add one or two support rails on the frame. the torque of the motor and the poorly designed chain guard snapped the chain. once i get off my lazy but, i might fix it.

What are good schools for Master’s degree of Physics in California?
I am interested in PhD in Physics but since my undergraduate degree was in something else, I am planning to earn a Master’s degree before applying to PhD schools. Does anyone know any university in California with a good placement rate into a PhD program? Should I consider out of state schools?
Here’s a link to all of the graduate level physics programs in California: http://programs.gradschools.com/california/physics.html
It seems to me that you should be able to find something without going out of state.
The California State Universities’ highest degree is the master’s (the only Ph.D.’s offered are in conjunction with a Ph.D. granting school — and none of those are in Physics.)
Good luck
What are some good engineering schools I should apply for?
I’m interested in majoring in engineering (either electrical/mechanical/materials) – and I’m planning on appling to the following schools:
1) MiT
2) UPENN
3) Carnegie-Mellon
4) CalTech
5) Stanford
6) UC Berkeley
7) UT Austin
My question is: What other good engineering schools should I apply for? And since most of the universities on my list are top-tier, what "back-up" schools should I apply for?
Princeton has a fantastic engineering program is number 18 in the country.
Purdue University is number 6 in Engineering. We have a VERY strong engineering background. It’s actually one of the more affordable universities of engineering.
What We Saw at the DC School Voucher Rally
On May 6, 2009, concerned parents, students, and others gathered in Washington, D.C.’s Freedom Plaza. They came to voice support for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, a school-voucher program authorized by Congress in 2004 (as the seat of the federal government, the District is overseen by Congress). The program gives 1,700 students up to $7,500 to attend whatever school their parents choose.
The program is wildly popular with parents and children—there are four applicants for every available slot—and a recent Department of Education study found that participants do significantly better than their public school peers.
Yet working with congressional Democrats and despite President Barack Obama’s pledge to put politics and ideology aside in education, the Obama administration effectively killed the program through a backdoor legislative move. “[Education] Secretary [Arne] Duncan will use only one test in what ideas to support with your precious tax dollars,” says the president. “It’s not whether it’s liberal or conservative, but whether it works.”
Shortly after last week’s rally, President Obama said that he would allow students currently enrolled in the program to finish up through high school, but that no new students would be allowed to enter the program. Thus, a president who exercises school choice himself, has consigned thousands of low-income students to attend massively underperforming D.C. public schools.

How come at schools that require uniforms people are mroe prone to judge?
At private schools that require uniforms (ive attended 3) there seems to be more conformity. Eveeryone seems to listen to the same music, has the same hairstyle, if you stand out its bad. But as public school, you don’t stand out?
Do uniforms increase conformity?
Yes and no.
School uniforms are intended to increase solidarity. If someone does not possess a strong sense of self, they can rely on the symbol of the school to make them a better person.
However, this is only a theory. Studies in public and private schools with and without uniforms show the same amounts of prejudice and bullying. Also, there are many studies that suggest that schools with uniforms do, in fact, have higher levels of conformity.
So the answer to your final question is yes, but as to the music they listen to and the hair they wear, I’m afraid that’s just the spirit of the times.
Sniper School part 1/5
Travel to Fort Benning, GA, where soldiers fresh from basic training are trained in marksmanship, intelligence gathering, camouflage and survival in a grueling 5-week program. These soldiers are the Top Guns from their units. They’ve been selected to enter one of the Army’s most difficult training schools sniper school!
Sniper school is part boot camp, survival school and psychological stress center. If these soldiers graduate, they will become part of one of the most elite groups of U.S. soldiers.
