Snake in the toilet

On a late Tuesday night a man on 220 Woolner Avenue found a python in his toilet. The animal control officers believe that it was most likely someone's pet that escaped.

If that was me I would have ran out of the washroom, put a lock on the door, and would have called animal   control. Then I would have called the owner of the apartment and complained about people having snakes in the apartment and not being able to control them.

Nelly Furtado donating 1 million dollars to Me2We

I believe that Nelly Furtado should have not donated that money to Me2We because that money is not her own. She had gotten that money from Mammuar Qaddafi for performing for him and his family at a hotel. That money was stolen from Libya by Mammuar and it was not his own money so she should have not even accepted it. I am glad Mammuar was chased out of the country he is an awful leader and this is one of the examples, he uses the countries money for his enjoyment Libya is way better off without him.

These are some of the reasons that Libya is a poor country, Nelly needs to give back the money that Mammuar gave her for performing. But technically that money is hers because she exchanged services for it, and it was pretty generous to donate it to charity. But the act is still unforgivable, Libya needs that money and it is theirs but they can't have any access to it? That is outrageous! I think Nelly should give back the money to Libya and this whole ordeal could be over.

Public school system

Public schools in rich neighbourhoods filled with rich kids raise more money from parents than public schools in poor neighbourhoods filled with poor kids. Were not just talking about an extra $100 dollars we are talking about up to $1000 more per student. Basically if you live in a better neighbourhood and you are rich you will get a better education than a poor student in a bad neighbourhood. People want to ban parental donations to the schools and they want the government to fund all schools to a level where donations wouldn't be needed. The top ten fundraisers got an average of 8.75 out of 10 on the Frasier Institute's test and the bottom ten fundraisers scored an average of 5.3 rating.

Although there is no straight-line correlation between fundraising and the education kids are getting. The most any of the top ten scorers fundraised was $234.86, 73 schools that had lower test scores raised more than that. Also one of the top ten schools was among the bottom ten worst fundraisers.


I do agree with Chris Selley, everyone deserves to have an equal education. They should ban parental donations to public schools and maybe raise taxes a little so that the government can fund the schools so that donations wouldn't be necessary. Or they could also just pool all parental donations so that every school gets an equal amount of money to fund it so nobody gets a higher education than the other person.

Every school should have the Pathways to Education program so that all the students end up going to high school and not quitting because they are getting bad marks in a poor funded school. People debate the importance of social equalities but nobody denies the importance of education, the time is now to stand up and change the ways of the school board so that every school is equally funded and nobody ends up with a bad education.

Would E-learning work well in elementary school

E-learning would not work well in elementary school. First of all most kids under grade four don't know how to use the computer properly. Also most kids don't have access to a computer or some families won't be able to afford it, and it is very expensive for the schools too, universities spend millions of dollars on e- learning elementary schools wouldn't be able to afford that.One fact about e-learning is that students learn more with a real teacher than with e-learning.Another problem with e-learning is that students won't know how to talk to people if all they're doing is watching they're computer all day.


On the other hand e-learning isn't so bad, some people would actually prefer it.Say for example if a student misses some notes or is absent one day they can review the notes they missed online.Also e-learning has forums which help the less outspoken kids participate and get better grades because they participated. Another way e- learning can be helpful is that it helps less organized kids become more organized because there is no clutter of paper everywhere you don't have to bring anything home from school just get to a computer and get started on work.E- learning has more cons than pros and therefore it would not be effective in elementary school.
