| qu1j0t3 | Marks would "get technical," learn software," "learn how to write code," "figure out where to learn more online," "become an expert at Google Scholar" and regularly peruse the CIA World Factbook.

| qu1j0t3 | "States were desperate for funds (in the end, thirty-four applied in the two rounds of the contest). When necessary, some rewrote their laws to qualify: they loosened or repealed limits on the number of charter schools allowed; they permitted teacher and principal evaluations based on test scores. But they still faced the immense tasks of designing a proposal that touched on all aspects of | Feb 26 19:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | K–12 education and then writing an application, which the DOE requested (but did not require) be limited to 350 pages. What state has resources to gamble on such a venture? Enter the Gates Foundation. It reviewed the prospects for reform in every state, picked fifteen favorites, and, in July 2009, offered each up to $250,000 to hire consultants to write the application. | Feb 26 19:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | ...After some weeks of reflection, Gates offered the application money to any state that met the foundation’s eight criteria. Here, for example, is number five: “Does the state grant teacher tenure in fewer than three years? (Answer must be “no” or the state should be able to demonstrate a plan to set a higher bar for tenure).” | Feb 26 19:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | 'On the question of who controls public schools, the Big Three much prefer mayoral control to independent school boards: a mayor with full powers can push through a reform agenda faster, often with less concern about the opposition. On August 18, 2009, the New York Post quoted Bill Gates on mayoral control: “The cities where our foundation has put the most money is where there is a single | Feb 26 19:30 |

| MinceR | i'm not sure if usian biblehumpers will care what you say it is | Feb 26 21:05 |
| abeNd-org | but take the same person, put a video of them up pissing on the quoran, well, you made the nightly news worldwide | Feb 26 21:05 |
| MinceR | they'll be too busy frothing at the mouth | Feb 26 21:05 |
| abeNd-org | its not ok for them to piss on the quoran, but it is "perfectly fine" for them to piss in the cross/bible/whatever else from any other religion | Feb 26 21:06 |

| abeNd-org | even western liberals take the same stance "piss in the bible all you want, but dont piss in a quoran!" | Feb 26 21:08 |
| MinceR | maybe there are specific rules in the quran regarding such things, i don't know | Feb 26 21:09 |
| abeNd-org | i would consider pissing on either the bible or quoran a little wrong, i dont see where the "art" is in doing that to either *shrug* | Feb 26 21:11 |

| qu1j0t3 | depends what flavour, probably. there are flavours that do not subjugate women. | Feb 26 21:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | many forms of buddhism don't serve the same purpose as other religions -- control, tribalism. | Feb 26 21:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's not in its definition | Feb 26 21:17 |
| schestowitz | some religions are not based around deities, e.g. Apple | Feb 26 21:26 |
