Parents Monitor Students

This NYtimes article that i recently just read, is talking about a program where the parents can actually monitor what the child is doing with the school work and what not. This program comes at a time when children want to manage their own life and do what they want to do, but ParentConnect allows the parents to hold a tighter grip on what their child is up to.Depending on the software, parents can check pending assignments; incomplete assignments; whether a child has been late to class; discipline notices; and grades on homework, quizzes and tests as soon as they are posted. They can also receive e-mail alerts on their cellphones.In rural, urban and suburban districts, they have become a new fact of life for thousands of families. At best, the programs can be the Internet’s bright light into the bottomless backpack, an antidote for freshman forgetfulness, an early warning system and a lie detector. With this program their is no secrets between them and their kids concerning their education. I think that this program is a total invasion of privacy. I think parents should know when their child is cutting class or when they are about to fail, but having them know every little thing their child does or doesnt do is a little overbearing. Children derserve their privacy, and it will just make them not want to tell their parents anything when the parents are constantly interigating them about their school work.

GLOBAL WARMING YO

Global Warming is happening all around the world.Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice free summer by 2040 or earlier. Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910.An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wild fires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts. The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.The population of polorbears and expected to decrease because of such amounts of water and no land left. The sea level is also expected to rise and that could cause major floods on the all the costs. Poorer countries are much less able to withstand the devastation caused by extreme weather events, and climate change is likely to increase such events. For example, global warming could increase the number of people impacted by flooding by 20-50 million. Up to 37% of God's land-based species could be committed to extinction by 2050, making global warming the largest single threat to biodiversity.

The earth is getting warmer because of the Greenhouse effect. The Greenhouse effect is the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass throught but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.
However, there are ways to stop global warming like, Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl).Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner. Also you can Take a shower instead of a bath.

A 21 year old girl Rin, recently used her cellphone to create a novel and is now thurned in a best selling novel. After cellphone readers voted her novel No. 1 in one ranking, her story of the ragic love between two childhood friends was turned into a 142-page hardcover book last year.As the population of people who had cellphones grew, cellphones had been an integral part of their life starting from high school. They punched out text messages with their thumbs with blinding speed, and used expressions and emoticons, like smilies and musical notes, whose nuances were lost on anyone over the age of 25.
