Stop Afghan school attacks, Hamid Karzai tells Taliban:- i think that it is wrong how they will burn schools even if there are kids there.They dont realize that they are hurting other people and they are destroying the future for Afghanistan and hurting the kids education.

Bodies of dead miners recovered in Pakistan
The article thta I read was a about a soldier being accused of killing Afgan citizens. In the article it said taht the soldiers kill Afghan civilians and try to cover it up. I never in a million years thought our soldiers would ever do that. I not saying their gulity or unguilty, I just saying thta I would never think they would do that. They are suppose to serve our country.
I am reading the article about the education in India. The article is about improving the schools in India. The school is part of an effort to improve elementary education underwritten by one of the countrys richest men, Azim H. Premij, chairman of the infomation technology giant Wipro. There school is trying to keep their students in school becuase most kids drop out when they get to the 10th grade. Education reformers in India point to success in China, where 94 percent of the population is literate, compared with 64 percent in their own country. And thats whats my article was about.
on sundays Pakistani Hindus like to enjoy the festivities in Lahore on sunday. They also enjoy the revelry at the Swaminarayan temple in India.To me in India springtime is suspose to be a careful time filled with happyness also on sundays too.
BBC News, an old woman who is in her 80s and 16 year old have just been found by the enormous quake which hit Japan nine days ago.F ound alive in rubble the two were in temperatures low maybe even could kiil them both but luckly are in a hospital in Ishinomaki. When was the date last updated?
Bodies Of Dead Miners Recovered In Pakistan...
The explosion happend when crew workers were drilling a 4,000 ft hole. They had decroved 43 bodies and there wasnt any people that had survivedl. Officals said that they will be dealing with the explosion because they feel responible for it because they ignored they warning signs to stop the project.
Question- Why do you think the officals ignored the warning sign...?
Education in India
I think that school is whats going to really help. Its a developing school. And they are improving everyday. And the government is helping.
How could we help improve India education faster ?
The bodies of 43 workers who were trapped in a mine in Pakistan's Balochistan province have been recovered..
As you can see this article was about minors being found all dead. Article says the bodies were found near provincial capital. The reason was because of gas explosions over the weekend.
would this event be considered as a natural disaster?
I am reading about the Education in India.
Alot of kids in India go to Government Primary schools because, they want to improve elementary education of the kids.
Even thought schools in India dont have alot of money they drill the kids on memorizing facts and knowing them in stressful year-end exams that alot of children fail. Kids there in India have to work 2 times harder then the kids in the U.S.A do because they dont have the kind of mony we have. Kids in China have to work just as hard. They work really hard with no breakes from studiyin and they dont get alot of free time ether.
Question:
Do you think the U.S.A's Education or India's Education is better? Why or Why not. What do you think of India's Education snd would you want to go to school there?
I am talking about the school Attacks.
I think the only positive is when Mr. Karzai when he said they should let them learn. When they start to burn the school you know something is wrong with that. Also now that 400 more have shut down i think its time for them to make a huge change.
What would you do if you were running that country?
I read an article about Education in India. To me, India is very smart, and it is ironic because we discussed there Literacy in class. India may not have alot to live on but they take there education serious so they can have something to fall back on when they do get older. They have longer classes and know more about stuff we need to survive on. To me, I can relate this to subjects in class, like the U.S. Although we are not smart like the kids in India, we still know more stuff about other things.
The article I read was about the U.S soldiers are placed in trial because of murdering afghan citizens. In all about 13 soldiers charged due to having a role in all the deaths. 5 soldiers were charged for murder while the other 7 were charged for covering it up. To me this is senseless because we might end up going to war with Afghan because of these soldiers so the army might as well let these soldiers stay and get ready for a fight that they started
education in India
this article was about a specific school and how the kids interact with it example the said that most kids there cant even do a simple division problem but in china 94 % of there kids are past it.
The education in India is bad because they are geting thought outside in harsh condtions and I believe it can damage many kids life
attacking schools is sad cause its just innocent kids trying to learn and grown peolpe who dont want them to burn it down thats sad. if they really wanted to stop kids from learning why did they not take a different way to do instead of burning down and attcking schools????????
US Soldier accused of killing Afghan citizens to stand trial
I think the whole situation is crazy because to know it was Americans out of anybody else is beyond me because I could imagine almost any other countries to do what they did but not us. I think it changed my outlook of people everywhere and my thoughts of people in general.
What will happen to America’s communications with the other countries in the world and will it hurt anything?
U believe that attacking schools is very horibble. I mean due to the fact that there are innocent children in the scholls trying to get an education so that they wont have to grow up and live threw those types of things
I read about the 43 workers who were trapped in the mine . The article was basically about 43 workers who got trapped in a factory due to an explotion ..
My question is .. since the workers were warned about the risks .. should the government be held accountable for their deaths?
I'm going to talk about the Afghan school attacks.They are not letting there childern get the eudcation they need.Mr.Karzai the president is trying to tell the Tailban to let the kids learn but they are not listening.But there are more kids going to school than before and some can't because they don't have protection.
Why is the Taliban doing this to the schools?
*Pictures, Videos, and Articles (Full Coverage) of the Devastation in Japan*
Japan was hit by a earthquake/tsunami recently. People felt shaking in cities all over Honshu, Japan's main island. The earthquake/tsunami was the world's fifth-largest earthquake since 1900. The depth of the quake was 24.4 kilometers. The earthquake's duration was about 8.9! At this duration, hundreds of thousands of people could've died!
*Discussion Question*
do you think the united states will be next to get hit with a disaster?
As you can see this article was about minors being found all dead. Article says the bodies were found near provincial capital. The reason was because of gas explosions over the weekend.

Education in India
In India there are more than 1,500 schools that are part of a 5 year education program where the government helps makes primary education better. The government is trying to get the kids to learn more things. The government has spent almost over 83 billion last year improving the schools. At a school named Nagla they encourage the kids to participate in all class activites so that they can learn hands on. At this school lunches have become free so that kids that couldnt afford lunch befor can now have lunch.
DISCUSSION QUESTION
Do you think that the schools in India will become better than the schools in the United States? Why or Why not?
I chose The second topic. It talked about how 43 miners were found dead in Pakistan on sunday. Only five were recused, but the mine is being closed down. The mine was 400 feet deep.
Disscussion Question: How is this similar to what happened iin chilie.
The article i read about was the US Soldier accused of killing Afghan citizens to stand trial. It expained how several soilders were being accused of murdering and they were charged, I also think this whole thing is not fair
Bodies of dead miners recovered in Pakistan
This is about how a coal mine collapsed after methane gas explosions. They had told people that it was dangerous but they didn't listen. 43 bodies was recovered but no one lived and the mines is being sealed. The blast happen when they was drilling in the 4,00 foot deep mine. 10 workers was founded but they had died of suffocation.The officials promised action against about those responsible for ignoring warning to stop mining.
Im Reading about this article in STOP Afghanstan school attacks.
Burning schools is dumb how are students going get there education. The militants have targeted many schools, more than 400 others are shut for fear of attacks. About eight million children are expected to go to school this year, a third of them girls. Female education was banned under the Taliban. This is sad because Taliban basically doesnt want them to have an education. The school is a public place were boys and girls should get a good education.
