What I’d really like to know is the actual terms and benefits the proposed federal health insurance coverage will provide to citizens. There has been much speculation over how citizens will leave their employer’s health coverage for federal health coverage since it will be so much cheaper. But with a cheaper coverage, are people really getting the same benefits as private insurance companies offer? Before we all decide to go for the cheaper coverage the White House needs to come up with a coverage plan. Maybe by that time people will see that the federal plan isn’t nearly as good as the one they have now.

Let us know your opinion.

Regarding an Article from the Wall Street Journal:

Wasn’t one of the major selling points for the stimulus package to help people who were falling behind in their mortgage payments? Apperently some of the major banks didnt receive the memo until last month. And even when they did get the memo, the time it takes to get your mortgage modified may take three months if not longer. Congress’ new plan for modifying mortgages Doesnt seem to be much of a relief, seems more like of a headache at the moment.

There are a number of proven methods for schools to utilize for achieving high academic standards for its students. There are also some promising techniques to overcoming challenges for those student populations whom historical have been under achieving.  It will not be how you do it that brings recognition but whether you can show the students are achieving academically.

I am projecting that for the next 10 years education will be one of the largest growth areas in the nonprofit sector.  This means if your in education and your students are failing that it is time for drastic change or close your doors.  For those who have been thinking about moving into education now is the time to implement that plan.  The first goal should be a high school diploma for every student.  The second goal should be an associate degree for every student.  Anything short of these two goals is to admit that the student will most likely lead a life of economic struggle.

Massachusetts, while strict in its approval of charter schools, is a good model to look to because it has created many high performing schools.
