Monday #98 2011 2012

Week 22 and day 98

Mighty Monday with a full house because we have all had all the germs run through our class.

Cnn students   students had to write about the Nevada caucuses.   Did anyone drop out after another Romney victory?  What would be reasons someone would stay in the race or drop out?  The unemployment rate decreased again in January and 240,000 new jobs were created however we have a long way to go from our our lowest point in the last quarter of 2007.  
The United Nations Security Council decided to not intervene with the unrest and violence in Syria;  Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was not too please by this decision.  Finally an interesting piece and class discussion on the rise in multi-generational living arrangements.  It is on the sharp rise in the USA.  Some of the reasons stated were cultural, monetary reasons and that it can be useful for members of the family (caring for elderly parents, watching young kids and increased sharing of household responsibilities).

Social Studies -- The Green Mountain Boys and Benedict Arnold gets dissed for the first time.
