Hispanic Appreciation Month Enriching America My Story......... My name is Frank Schneemann and I am the most senior teacher in the Sweetwater District. In 1974 I was hired as a long term substitute at Southwest Middle. I like to experiment with new teaching ideas related to technology. The District Director of Spec. Ed. observed me teaching and told the Personnel Office NOT to hire me. The Hispanic teachers and administrators went to the district and insisted that I be hired. People like Maria Medrano, Oscar Mercado, and many others saved my job. I'm not sure why. In those days there were two dominant gangs at SW Middle, the Imperials and the Sydro's. I was not intimidated by the kids, I felt like I was "hanging" with the kids I grew up with. in the Philadelphia Badlands.I workd with those kids and they became like family. Open your mind and heart to the Hispanic community and you will find, as I did, that you have joined a new family who will always be there for you when you need them. |

Karl Marx Socialism
Compare and contrast then choose Experiment in Democratic Socialism We are proposing the following grade policy. All grades for an assignment will be averaged and everyone will get the same grade. From each according to their ability to each according to their need. No students will fail and no student will get a grade higher or lower than other students. If you get an "A" on an assignment that grade will be averaged with the other grades so you will most likely be assigned a "C." Likewise, if you currently have an "F" grade you will also be assigned the average grade, most likely a "C" Do you vote to accept this Socialist grade policy?

LESSONS FROM AFRICA There is a law in politics and economics called the "law or unintended consequences." It means that sometimes the best of intentions can have the opposite political or economic effects. After watching the video (on the left), explain the effects of "free markets" on third world countries. Are they important or not as important as the video suggests. As an IB/AP student your answer should be detailed and comprehensive.
