homework

i think that homework can be a useless thing for kids to do when they get home. homw wrok is more work that you recive from school to do at school. if u did the work in school already than there is no point in doing it again once you get home. when we kids do homework than it feels like were at school all day. thats noy good.

Im Late for School

I got up for school today,
And nearly missed the bus!
I hurried down the stairs,
and quickly made breakfast

I quickly threw books in my bag,
My pens, books and shorts
Grabbed my coat from closet
Then took my stuff for sports

I slid across the kitchen floor,
And hopped over the cat!
Then expertly rolled over,
Then ran back to get my hat!

I ran out the front of our door,
Spun around and swung it shut
Saw the bus was waiting for me
I felt i had time to strut!

I climbed on and then froze still,
And knew things weren't right!
My friends fell down in fits of fun,
They pointed with delight

My face turned red, i couldnt breathe
For in my haste i knew!
I had forgotten to wear trousers
jumpers, shirts, socks and shoes!

What is a folklore?

Folklore culture, including stories, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and so forth within a particular population comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive genres are shared. Many rituals can sometimes be considered folklore, whether formalized in a cultural or religious system (e.g. weddings, baptisms, harvest festivals) or practiced within a family or secular context. For example, in certain parts of the United States (as well as other countries) one places a knife, or a pair of scissors, under the mattress to "cut the birth pains" after giving birth. Folklore can contain religious or mythic elements, it equally concerns itself with the sometimes mundane traditions of everyday life. Folklore frequently ties the practical and the esoteric into one narrative package. It has often been conflated with mythology, and vice versa, because it has been assumed that any figurative story that does not pertain to the dominant beliefs of the time is not of the same status as those dominant beliefs.[citation needed] Thus, Roman religion is called "myth" by Christians. In that way, both "myth" and "folklore" have become catch-all terms for all figurative narratives which do not correspond with the dominant belief structure.

What is a taser?

One popular variation on the conventional stun-gun design is the Taser gun. Taser guns work the same basic way as ordinary stun guns, except the two charge electrodes aren't permanently joined to the housing. Instead, they are positioned at the ends of long conductive wires, attached to the gun's electrical circuit. Pulling the trigger breaks open a compressed gas cartridge inside the gun. The expanding gas builds pressure behind the electrodes, launching them through the air, the attached wires trailing behind. (This is the same basic firing mechanism as in a BB gun.) for more information visit KDKA . A student at monessen high school was tasered. for more info click fox

Education

This much is clear after Gov. Paterson's news conference on Sunday: The city's cash-strapped transit system won't be getting any help from Albany. That could bring threatened cuts to service and the elimination of free rides for schoolkids one step closer. "My hands are tied right now because we don't have any resources to give them," said Paterson. He said he would hate to see free MetroCards for city schoolkids scrapped to balance the cash-strapped Metropolitan Transportation Authority's looming budget deficit but couldn't stop such a move. "Personally, I don't think I like the idea of diminishing the MetroCards," he said, adding the move would hurt poor families. "They need the MetroCards to go to school."The MTA is scrambling to fill a massive deficit that emerged in recent weeks because of $143 million in state cuts and payroll taxes below state projections. The MTA has proposed eliminating 21 local bus routes, among other cutbacks. The Daily News reported Saturday the MTA is also looking to cut free MetroCards for hundreds of thousands of students.The MTA board is slated to vote on the cutbacks Wednesday. Despite Paterson's kind words for the student MetroCard program, sources said the state has quietly cut its own longstanding funding for the program this yearIn recent years, the state and city have directed $45 million each toward the $160 million program annually, while the MTA has picked up the rest.But this year, the state cut its funding to $6 million, as part of its larger MTA cuts, sources said.A Paterson spokeswoman defended the state's reductions and insisted they were across-the-board cuts for the agency - and not directed at the MetroCard program.
