Education in Massachusetts

Education is one of the most difficult issue in Massachusetts. the problem start since Elementary school and High School. According to Michael Levenson, a Boston Globe's correspondence the problem is not a secret."Declining enrollment, an imbalance of resources and performance among schools, disappointing MCAS scores, lagging achievement among student of color including a troublesome drop in minority students at the city's elite exam school, Boston Latin." We can realize that students in Massachusetts are more likely drop school to work as a cashier in Mc Donald, Burger King or any other fast food place. Why? because they have more chance to get hire than an adult immigrant. Another issue, at the age of 16 they can take any decision they want and their parent cannot blame them. A few of them think school is for life when they reach High School and sometimes their parents do not have enough resources to pay a private college, as a result they struggle with a two years Community college and they have to work to help themselves. My daughter frequents Public School since she came to the United States, the first time she went to school she felt discriminated because of language. When she dropped the barrier of language, she met other problems in the midst of the other students. The problem as myself I realize, students in public School have to much time or they are neglected. When I test my daughter in writing or math, I realize that she needs a lot of improvement. However, her report card sometimes shows me the opposite. She went to take the exam for Boston Latin, her result gave an average of c+. However, her report card sometimes is better than that. To sum up, education in Massachusetts need to rethink from Elementary School. Accept children to work at the age of 16 is one of the problem the Government need to change because children cannot wait to reach this age to start punching. If they know they have to submit their High School diploma to work, they will make more efforts and maybe after High School they will have another way of thinking. This law must not be for immigrants, only for children who go to High School in the US. The Public School and The Private School must follow the same program, they must have the same rules and at this point we can trust when they say "No child left behind"

Financial Aid Need to Rethink

The education's way in the United States is the best choice to succeed in the real life. The Government does everything possible to help someone reach a better level of his or her choice. However, life is so expensive in the United States Massachusetts for instance that causes everybody particularly the single parents, forsake the education in order to help children to reach their goal. The Government disposes financial aid for some people who cannot afford the private college, nevertheless; that cannot help enough because the rules to get financial aid is incompatible to the real life. For example, you have an income limit for the year to get financial aid, even you earn a few dollars over the limit you won't get it. Nonetheless, the amount of dollars you earn over the limit sometimes cannot even pay one class at Bunker Hill which is a community College. For another example, you need to take full time classes to get financial aid, that means, it is become difficult to do your homework when you work full time in an unskilled job and the result sometimes is a failure. In addition, you can even live properly in Massachusetts with an unskilled full time job. United States is a country open for everybody in everything particularly Massachusetts, but this States is so expensive in everything that makes everybody needs help and that makes help become hard to find. That is the reason why it is easier to find help in education because not everybody runs after it. When you find financial aid as a single parent for example, other factors like rent become a barrier to forsake the education because you cannot work to much to get financial aid and you cannot live in a States like Massachusetts with the amount limit they ask you to earn to have it. I think the Government must include other factors in financial aid to help people who want to have a better education reach their goal.

God's Characters in Religion's World

As you learn, Religion is a part of a culture. Every people whatever their culture and language share religion as a common factor. Many religion throughout the world proclaim God, but different way. This difference give God many characters by the interpretation of some verses in the Bible. When you read "Sinners in the hand of an Angry God", the author submits the character of God upon the wicked, the non believers and the evil. He took some example from Genesis to Revelation to prove the angry character of God from the beginning until the end. When you read the narration "Whom I have to Choose" from Elizabeth Ashbridge, she presented another character of a faithful God. She used to prejudice the Christians before even talking to them, and became a preacher by the will of God. It is all the misunderstanding that we find in the Religion's World today,when somebody interprets a chapter or a verse different way from another, and that give God different character. If we take some times to visit the Religion's World, you will realize everybody proclaim the same God and sometimes they use the same Bible. However, when we analyze their studies, we can ask ourselves how many Gods exist? To understand the true character of God, they should have only two Religions:"The Catholic and the Protestant". But today, if we make a survey, the result will give many Religions:"The Catholic and the Protestants." All educated people know there was a Jesus 2000 years ago. Jesus walked with many believers at that time because the character he gave to God was in him. Today, it is very difficult to make an educated man or woman has faith in Christ because sometimes the preacher who talks about Christ does not has Christ's character. The true character of God is not in Religion's World but in human.
