About Papa Penguin
Papa Penguin is a cute casual arcade game for children and their parents about a caring penguin who puts all his efforts in trying to get some fish for his two little children. The kids are quite gluttonous, so hardly Papa fetches them some food, they instantly absorb it and demand more and more!

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Apostrophe Hôtel
3 rue de Chevreuse, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
These days design hotels are so widespread as to be almost commonplace, and art hotels are no longer the novelty they once were. So what's next? One attempt at an answer comes in the form of the Apostrophe Hotel, which styles itself the world's first "poem hotel" — an idea that's so perfectly Parisian it's difficult to imagine it existing anywhere else.
Between the two of them, the architect Vincent Bastié and the interior designer Sandrine Alouf are responsible for such contemporary Parisian classics as the Murano, the Five, and the Five's little sister, the One. Here, together with the painter Catherine Feff, they've created an experience that makes the typical boutique hotel look positively dowdy by comparison. Text and other graphic elements line the walls, rooms pursue themes and motifs to their logical ends, and even the basics, the fixtures and furnishings, step away from the minimalist design-boutique norm.
In truth it's simply a very stylish high-design boutique hotel, which sets itself apart by choosing exuberance where others would opt for restraint. Services, in traditional boutique style, are rather minimal, fitting for a sixteen-room hotel — the surrounding area of St.-Germain-des-Prés offers everything a guest could possibly need.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival
- Guaranteed 11am check-in
- Choice of welcome treat or romantic rose petal heart (advise in advance)

What I liked:
Room had interesting design touches - cool lighting, good sound system, wall murals. The real perk of the room was the amazing shower! Multiple jets & rainforest shower head! Location on a quiet side street is pleasant. Staff were very helpful & accomodating and kindly mapped out a walking route toward the Marais for our one night in Paris.
What the hotel could do better:
Room was quite small - this is coming from a NYer who is used to small rooms. Was fine for our short stay, but would not want to have been longer than a couple days in the room.

My name is Abigail Nanchin Kakiyes. I voluntarily returned back to my homeland in 2008 after a short course in the UK with a passion and strong determination to be a positive Agent of change, adding value to the society. I love my country and I love my people - there is no genetic error in being black, Nigerian, especially feminine. I am proud of being a woman and see myself and all women as Nation builders. Whatever affects a woman negatively, is sure to affect the future of any nation.
Women face serious issues of varied forms of violence in Nigeria but very few would voice out their story let alone report to the relevant authorities. There is the fear of lack of justice as it is termed a man's world in quote also fear and shame of further societal victimization or isolation if you dare speak out. If I do not speak, many of my sisters would remain in this circle of bondage, the aim of telling my story is to encourage all women who are victims, to voice out their experiences unashamedly and fearlessly in other to stop all forms of violence against women NOW!!
In my case, though badly traumatized by the psychological violence suffered, I have summoned courage by taking legal actions to prove a point that women MUST never be taken for granted anymore thus demanding a public apology for abuse and dehumanization suffered amongst other things. Not just stopping at that, I recently called for a press conference in Jos, Plateau State which was well attended by seasoned journalists, demanding an end to violence against women and calling on all women affected to speak out standing in one voice.
A solution to ending violence against women in Nigeria would be first calling on the Federal Government, to enshrine women rights laws unto the Nigerian constitution which is currently being reviewed. Enough of the awareness campaigns it is time for action !
In August 2009, I was employed as Secretary and the only female Staff of SDV Nigeria Limited Kano branch (now called Bollore Africa Logistics Nigeria Ltd), under the supervision of a french expatriate. It was a new project, setting up a Warehouse for a Chinese client. We worked tirelessly from dusk to dawn to meet the proposed deadline. Unfortunately, there was an internal problem of fraud with one of our colleagues who threatened and demanded a huge sum from one of our contractors. Without hesitation I intervened to prevent the illegal transaction, saving the company a loss. Shortly our existing Supervising Manager was replaced with one Charles Le Belenger, a young french expatriate under 25yrs. He officially resumed at Kano branch on 15th December, 2009 and the Kano team warmly received him with high expectations.
In a very short time, Charles Le Belenger, made the work place environment most unbearable for everyone, employing the tactics of bullying, victimization, public harassment followed by strong racist remarks evident by the following series of events: • On resumption, he complained bitterly about pictures of the President (Late Alhaji Musa Yar'Adua), the State Governor (Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau) and Emir of Kano (Alhaji Ado Bayero) which was hung in the branch Manager's office by his predecessor– Charles Le Belenger described the pictures as very ugly, making jest that his Royal Highness Alhaji Ado Bayero - the Emir of Kano looks like a rabbit in his turban outfit. • In creating new structural changes to his taste, he designated me to share same office with him (my desk facing his desk) and everyday Charles would officially resume office with his dog "Rambo" stationed inside the office we both share. I am sternly instructed to watch over his animal (Rambo) and to make sure it does not leave the office when he is out on an assignment. • On several occasions, my supervising Manager, has instructed me to purchase food for himself and his dog. He severally remarks openly that the dog is far intelligent than his staff and can run the branch successful. • Despite my diligence, hard work and loyalty, Charles severally referred to me, my colleagues and Nigerians generally as "morons" calling me "silly brain" one time and I complained. He stated that he never makes mistakes and the company brought him from Paris to manage Kano branch because no one is as intelligent or capable for the position. • He constantly exhibits very hot temper and readily starts up fights with colleagues and even company contractors. At every opportunity or slightest error, Charles indiscriminately uses the "F" word to refer to Nigeria and Nigerians. • We were constantly bullied and daily reminded that we would be fired at the snap of his fingers as there is high unemployment rate in Nigeria. (poverty and fear is the reason many are afraid to speak out) • He constantly embarrasses and interrupts my official and social interactions with fellow colleagues, one time he banned me from the Accountants office and the adjoining Warehouse where my colleagues worked, instructing me to talk to myself and not to my colleagues • He openly uses the term 'black monkeys' at workers - a contractor once complained in writing about the use of this language at his laborers assigned to the Warehouse who were indigenes of Kano. • Charles Le Belenger once summoned the management of the security company guarding our Warehouse premises to sack with immediate effect an old man who served as a driver for fetching water in our compound. Young Hausa boys working as laborers were instantly sacked for staring his way. • Charles Le Belenger finally issued me a query accusing me of inability to interact among coworkers, arrogance and failure to follow even recorded direction of minutes of meeting. I replied his cooked up query exposing his behavior to Management, shortly a Team of senior Staff union members within the organization, visited Kano to investigate the issue. They were too scared to enter the BM's office I share because of the dog and witnessed firsthand violence towards me. Nonetheless Management issued me a warning letter and subsequently instructed my transfer to Head Office Lagos as Customer Services Assistant Manager (Groupage Department). The Nigerian Management of Bollore Group assigned me to Lagos while Charles Lebelenger was promoted to manage the Group's branches in both Kano and FCT Abuja. Very traumatized and abused, I resumed at my new designation as Customer service Assistant Manager at Burma Road, Apapa Lagos, there I worked tirelessly signing in daily to work before 6:30am. One of the difficult challenges I faced in groupage department, was alienation by some fellow colleagues who forcefully collected bribes from importers or Agents before releasing their goods to them it was a life style. Several attempts to stop this malpractice was laughed at yet the Customers complained bitterly of very outrageous local handling charges and exploitation by staff, so I reported to my H.O.D and Supervising Manager. On the 19th of March, 2012 I was promoted from grade / co-efficient 100+1 to 100+9 with a salary increment followed by a job Training. I prepared to commence my Annual Leave which was approved for 8th June, 2012 then suddenly an idea was conceived in my heart to use my leave allowance to touch the lives of widows and orphans of Dogonahawa village of Jos, Plateau State through the giving of relief materials such as food items, cloths, detergent etc.
The Dogonahawa village communities were helpless victims of a gruesome genocide in the year 2010 where men, women and children were brutally massacred at the wake of dawn. I was very excited and passionate about this goodwill cause and without prior knowledge of any negative reactions, informed a few close colleagues and selected Management Personnel via our official e-mail. I saw it as a platform for CSR by the Bollore Group (who has existed over 30 years in Nigeria as Alraine Shipping) especially as the Bollore Group is actively involved in community charity in its Francophone African subsidiaries but never in Nigeria where millions of dollar profit is realized weekly.
My email contained a brief introduction of Plateau State, facts about what had happened to the Dogonahawa community in the year 2010 and a clarion call to volunteer and help the widows and orphans of the community. Managing Director Mr TRANCHEPAIN Jean-Christophe (Bollore Africa Logistics Nigeria) immediately responded to my email, summoning me to his office the following day stating that employees are not authorized to use the Bollore intra-net for social networking. The following day at the M.D's office, in the presence of the Group Human Resources Manager (Nigerian), I was denied any opportunity to explain. The MD unreservedly hurled insults at me saying; am dressed like a queen yet am 'a nobody' (it was a Friday & I was in African attire). He said I have 'no brains' in my head, further questioning my designation as Assistant Manager then ushered me out of his presence. The following series of events then ensued: • I was issued a query to answer within 48 hours to which I responded apologetically explaining my true and honest intentions • I proceeded on my leave and still continued to Jos during the crisis for the community project. • Fate twisted, a day after I arrived Jos, I was invited by the Hon. Commissioner of Women Affairs and social development Barrister Olivia Dazyem for a press conference in appreciation of the humanitarian initiative to support the widows and orphans of Dogonahawa village Jos, Plateau State. She welcomed me on behalf of the State Governor His Excellency David Jang and the good people of Plateau State, assigning two of her Directors, PRTV and press crew to cover the event on the 30th of June, 2012. It was a great success; the village Heads, Youth leader, Clergy and entire village community was thrilled and appreciative of the bags of rice, cartons of toiletries and Maggi, bags of salt etc presented. Jos Radio stations, TV and State newspaper 'STANDARD' featured the event which was also captured in 'THE NATION' national newspaper of 17th August, 2012 - Page 48
On resumption after my leave, Bollore management placed me on a 6 weeks Suspension without salary effective 26th July, 2012 - 6th September, 2012. • The suspension from duty was contrary to the employees contract agreement so I forwarded a letter (requesting some form of explanation) to Management of Bollore Africa Logistics making reference to Article 43 Sub section B of Bollore Employee handbook which clearly states; Suspension from employment, without pay up to a maximum of two weeks (14 days) or indefinite suspension as in the case of serious gross misconduct – 'fraud • Bollore Management never responded to my mail. • I resumed in the early hours of 6th September, 2012 and headed to my H OD's office who clearly explained that he was on leave at the time management issued my suspension but he never consented - following due grievance procedures of the company, he particularly asked for opportunity to discuss with me and investigate before further action is taken. That same day, I was summoned to Head office (No 26 Creek Road, Apapa Lagos) and issued a letter of Termination.FOOT NOTE:
• It must be stated that prior to my suspension and even at my return, the Bollore in-house email network (which according to Management, is monitored from France and prohibited for social mails) has always been used by a large number of colleagues for incriminating political comments, religious and other social networking (some of which the Human Resources Manager was in copy) also there was an internal memo of known culprits engaged in pornography during official hours (proofs available). Yet no disciplinary action was executed. • I was victimized, issued a query, sent on 6 weeks suspension without salary and finally sacked because I expressed a community good will gesture to Bollore Management.

My dear Abby, My uncle told me once that "If God has destined that you will some day leave point A to point B, no matter how hard man tries to let u down, you will some day get there." Do not be troubled, God was just using Charles le Berlenegeee or what ever he calls himself, and other fake company officials to move you closer to your point B. You are a very strong woman, and I believe you are a number one agent of change. Keep up the fight, and gradually you will get there. Lots of love from Cameroon.

Dearest Nakinti,
Today your kind uplifting words sooth my soul and gave my Spirit a lift. It's like a lone ranger only one is never really alone when you have the Lord carefully watching over you.
Your Uncle was very correct and I couldn't agree more that I have been lauched into my point B and have found my purpose and destiny !!
One Love my sister , keep talking.....
We see you. Your courage. Your value. Your heart.
Let it all shine my dear. Keep shining. We need to hear voices like yours.
These bastards are no longer going to open their mouths, only when they can hear the apotheosic roar of our voices telling him that
Thanks for all the enlightment.

Very many thanks Jackie for your inspirational thots.......what do you do? Maybe we could team up on a community project in the coming year, so very much to do in reaching out to our women, am still brainstorming.....
Your action is your awareness campaign :)
Thanks for sharing your inspirational story.
Mia, thanks for the encouragement and support, it goes a long, long way !
Hello Abby,
Thanks for your post. I see a pattern where people in high places in developing countries so not acknowledge the injustice happening around them. Often they often punish people like you for bringing injustice to the forefront because they are embarrassed and if you check they are part of the problem. Therefore if injustice is brought up it may expose them.
Your new manager from France should be ashamed of himself. He is a man of no character. I wonder how he is treated in France. He lacked intelligence and is totally arrogant. I bet there was a Nigerian that could have done the job as good or even better than he could.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Kadeen, indeed you are on point by your comments. Thank you so very much for your encouragement, I am lifted.
God Bless....

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) will stage demonstrations against made snana and pankti bedha (caste discrimination while serving food) in Kukke Subramanya and Krishna Math in Udupi, respectively.
Centre of Indian Trade Union's district unit secretary Vasant Achary told presspersons here on Friday that a vehicle jatha from Kukke Subramanya to Mangalore would be organised on December 21. The jatha would be flagged off by CPI(M) State unit secretary G.V. Srirama Reddy. A padayatra from Mangalore to Udupi would be held on December 24. Party's Central Secretariat member Srinivas Rao and other CPI (M) activists would take part in the padayatra. A demonstration and a public meeting would be held in Udupi on December 27. CPI(M) Polit Bureau member B.V. Raghavalu would speak at the meeting, he said.
Mr. Achary said the party was not happy with the modified version of made snana as proposed by the State government before the Karnataka High Court. The government submitted recently that the devotees would no longer be allowed to roll over plantain leaves with leftovers of food had by Brahmins. Instead, the food offered to the deity would be brought from the sanctum sanctorum of the temple to the outer yard in the form of "prasada" and it would be put on the plantain leaves.
Mr. Achary said such a practice should not be allowed by the State government. Made snana and pankti bedha should be banned.

One of the boys featured in Bareback Surf Riders is Trevor. He's got that all American / boy next door look, complete with a nice cock just perfect for featuring in a solo gay jack off scene such as this. He got into gay porn as he's hard up for cash and also because he admits to being bit of an exhibitionist. Watch him tug along the shaft of his long dick and his balls jiggle in the process. Those balls get juggled so much you almost think he could make a cappuccino with the milk that gets squeezed out.

Toyah's Street wiser; EXCLUSIVE: HOW CORRIE' S TEENAGE REBEL IS GOING FROM TART TO SMART TO SHED HER IMAGE AS A GIRL IN THE GUTTER.
But no one was more horrified than the actress who played the outlandish teenager.
"In the beginning, the clothes that Toyah wore were terrible. I was very conscious of my bum hanging out from these tiny mini- skirts," she said.
"There are a lot of girls who wear those tarty skirts, but I never felt comfortable in that sort of thing."
However, wearing Toyah's revealing wardrobe isn't something Georgia has to worry about any more. After taking extra lessons from Ken Barlow, her character has started to smarten up her act, determined to better herself. And as these pictures show, Georgia is anxious to cultivate a more sophisticated image, too.
Georgia, 18, has consistently been at the centre of controversy since she started in the show 18 months ago. And she has the honour of being the first Coronation Street girl to tackle the taboo subject of under-age sex.
In a scene that was criticised for being sensationalist, Toyah and her rather unsavoury boyfriend Dobber had sex in the back seat of his car.
But Georgia defended the storyline and insisted that Corrie had not been encouraging teenage sex.
She said: "I thought the whole thing was handled sensibly and sensitively. I couldn't believe it when people complained about the scene in the car. It was suggestive, but you never saw anything at all.
"We have taken a strong moral line and are not promoting teenage sex. It's quite the opposite. Toyah's actions should be a lesson for other girls not to fall into the same trap. It was an educational storyline and I feel it was done in a responsible way.
"What mattered to me was that after that episode my mother phoned to say that she thought that the story had been really good and that the way we'd done it was spot on."
There were equally tense moments on the Street when Georgia's character ran off to London to find her real father.
Georgia said: "The situation Toyah got herself into were frightening. It is rare for the Street to pick up on issues for storylines, but if we can stop one teenager from running away away from home, then it will all have been worthwhile."
After a year on the Street, Georgia finally decided to leave the semi in Wigan where she lived with her parents and her 15- year-old brother.
Now the young blonde, who has a student boyfriend called Phil, has her own little flat near the TV studios where Corrie is made in Manchester.
"I moved into it for practical reasons, she said. "The family home is only 30 miles away but I haven't passed my driving test, so the travelling was also becoming quite tiring. My mum was upset when I left home but she understood it was the right thing for me to do.
"She's fine with it now and really happy for me.
"Now I get home whenever I can and we speak on the phone every day."
Having a place of her own has meant that Georgia has had to start developing culinary skills - not one of her favourite tasks.
She explained: "I wish I was a good cook, but I'm getting better because I have had to. I'm becoming more conscious of a healthy diet, but chocolate is my weakness."
Joining the Street at such a young age didn't faze Georgia at all. She copes well with the show's tough filming schedules and says that acting has boosted her confidence.
She said: "When I was younger, I was really quiet and frightened of being in any strange environment. But once I got into drama class, I came out of my shell."
Her very first scene in Coronation Street also helped Georgia to forget any notions about acting being glamorous. She had to rise at dawn to be ready for the cameras at 6.30 am.
She added: "I was so worried about over-sleeping on such an important morning that I booked into a hotel round the corner. Jane Danson, who plays my sister Leanne in the show, stayed with me and that was nice. We did not know each other well so we had a few hours chatting and became friends."
Georgia reckons that being pitched in at the deep end also meant that she didn't suffer from nerves at suddenly working with the best known stars in British soap.
NOW, after 18 months in the show, she feels completely comfortable with her co-stars. But during every scene, one thing is always at the back of her mind - her parents will be watching at home.
She said: "Every time I get a new storyline, I want to do it so well that my parents get taken right into the Toyah story and forget that's just me on the screen. It's nice when they ring me to comment on a particular scene."
Joining the Street has meant that Georgia's lifestyle has changed considerably. But, apart from buying the odd designer dress, she's not changed her spending habits too much.
She said: "Most of my clothes are bought on the high street. If I bought designer gear all the time, I'd be skint."
Her main treat was a week's holiday in Tenerife with boyfriend Phil and some friends. Being recognised while abroad was a bit of a shock for the young star.
She said: "That's something I have had to get used to. I was amazed how quickly people spotted me. It happened after I'd only made one appearance in the Street."
Like many teenagers, Georgia has no fixed career plan - and much the same attitude applies to her life away from the TV cameras.
Although she has a steady boyfriend, she insists that she doesn't have any thoughts about marriage.
She said: "When I was younger, I didn't believe in marriage but, if someone amazing comes along, I might want to make that commitment."
The subject of children, however, is met with a coy smile. "That's a bit more tricky," she said. "I do get maternal when I see the dancing baby on Ally McBeal.
"Every time that comes on, I think that I want one. But I know that real babies aren't like that. They need a lot of care and attention. I'd like kids, but not for a long, long time."
Georgia will line up with a host of other well-known faces from British television for Friday night's Children In Need show on BBC1.
She's due to team up with co-star Jane Danson to sing a 70s disco medley - wearing another one of those dreaded mini- skirts.
She explained: "I'm wearing quite a sparkly outfit, complete with silver knee- high platform boots.
"I know it sounds hypocritical, but it was a bit of a laugh and I suppose I can make an exception with the mini- skirt just this time. After all, it is for charity."

Lagerloef was the brother of the company's president and CEO, George Finley. Attempts to reach Finley on Friday were unsuccessful.
Sheli Crauthers, Finley's executive assistant, said Lagerloef lived in Corpus Christi before moving to Florida to be near his children and grandchildren more than five years ago. Crauthers said Lagerloef did visit Corpus Christi occasionally.
"He was a mentor to all of our employees and he will be greatly missed," Crauthers said. "He was the kind of boss who would place himself in the feet of his employees and always made decisions on what was fair to all of us."
According to reports from Panama City television station WMBB-TV, the plane carrying Lagerloef and 63-year-old Claude Frank Phillips crashed four miles south of the Sandy Creek Airpark, where the plane took off Tuesday morning. Phillips also was killed in the wreck.
Searchers found the wreckage of Lagerloef's ultra-light plane Wednesday morning, and federal investigators were still trying Friday to figure out what caused the aircraft to crash.
Lagerloef was born Oct. 3, 1937, in Aurora, Ill. He was a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel. He was also an enthusiastic aviator who built and flew his own aircraft, and an avid car collector with a particular fondness for vintage Thunderbirds.
He is survived by his son, Kris Lagerloef of Shalimar, Fla.; two brothers, Hans Lagerloef of Sugar Grove, Ill., George A. Finley of Corpus Christi,; a sister, Sue Moody of Mesa, Ariz.; and a grandson.
Memorial services with military honors will be today in Florida.

While the U.S. manufacturing sector has contracted sharply since the early 1980s, employment in high-skill manufacturing occupations has risen by an impressive 37percent. An investigation of the growth in high-skill manufacturing jobs reveals that virtually all of the nation's industries have shared in this trend. Moreover, skill upgrading has occurred in all parts of the country, even those experiencing severe employment losses.

GSP beating Hughes - both times, although the 2nd one was more expected.
Rashad KTFO Liddell - I totally called it right after the first round and won money off of a bet(which had been made before the fight). Also I don't like Chuck Liddell so seeing him be knocked into oblivion was beautiful.
Shogun KTFO Liddell - I was there live. This tool in front of us was telling his girl all night how awesome Liddell was and was basically acting like he knew everything about MMA so my buddy and I corrected him and his girl laughed in his face when Liddell went down. Plus the same Liddell hate.
UFC 61 July 2006
Dana comes out to make an announcement. Wand comes out in a Pride shirt, then Chuch comes out in a UFC shirt. It is announce after the babalu fight that these two will finally fight........................................ (to be continued in the saddest thread)
Fedor/Sylvia was incredible
The GSP/Hughes 3 Armbar
Wand dropping Chuck, even if briefly.
GSP v Hughes II
GSP v Penn II
Couture v Sylvia
I loved the GSP fights because he is my favorite fighter and because both were sort of "passing of the torch" fights in my opinion. Both were rematches and both demonstrated how a fighter can improve himself/herself with the right combination of passion, desire, and training.
I don't know if Couture v Sylvia was any defining moment in MMA history really but you need to appreciate a man of Couture's age calling out the HW champion, who is twice his size, and knocking him flat on his ass in the first 10 seconds of the fight. Of course Couture went on to win by decision. It was a great moment for me because it again showed how somebody can persevere can take matters into their own hands.
I also really enjoyed Hendo knocking out Bisping. This was more of a guilty pleasure for me, like hot fudge topping on my frozen yogurt, and I wouldn't list it above either of these other moments

I don't know if i would consider this one of my favorites, but hearing Wandy say that he wanted to fuck Chuck Liddell was kinda classic.

IMPROVED national TEST SCORES in the U.S., a trend toward establishing small high schools, controversies over history TEXTBOOK CONTENT, discussion about the role of RELIGION in the classroom, rising university enrollments, and dominance by Finnish students in PISA TESTING were some of the highlights in education in 2005.
Primary and Secondary Education
The highest reading and mathematics exam scores in 30 years were reported in 2005 for nine-year-old Americans in the National Assessment of Educational Progress testing program, known as the nation's report card. Math scores among 13-year-olds also reached their highest point in three decades. In addition, the gap narrowed between black and Hispanic pupils and their white age-mates. Analysts credited the improvement to school reforms introduced by the states over the past two decades. The greatest gains appeared in southern states that traditionally had lagged behind the rest of the nation. Reading and math scores of 17-year-olds remained essentially unchanged over the 30-year period. Pres. George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind education program was also cited as having had an influence on rising test scores. (See Sidebar.)
Efforts to improve American high schools focused chiefly on dividing large comprehensive schools into multiple small academies that specialized in such areas as fine arts, science, business, finance, leadership, theatre, engineering, communications, health sciences, and advanced college preparation. Nationwide, an estimated 1,400 small schools had recently been created. An important financial boost to the movement came from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which had furnished $2.3 billion for various school-reform projects over the past several years. In another attempt to upgrade high schools, the governors of 13 states that enrolled 35% of the nation's students pledged to make core classes and tests more rigorous and to match graduation standards to the expectations of employers and colleges. Public support for such efforts was reflected in an opinion poll that found that only 9% of the American populace believed that high schools set high-enough academic expectations for students.
By 2005 about half of U.S. states had adopted high-school exit exams that were used to determine if students deserved to graduate. The dual intent of the exams was to motivate students to study hard and to assure employers that graduates had adequate skills in the tested subjects. Critics, however, denounced such an evaluation system, which, regardless of the quality of the students' years of classroom performance, would deny them a diploma for failing multiple-choice tests in a limited set of subject fields (usually language and math).
Conflicts over the content of history textbooks continued in Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Northern Ireland, Russia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Most confrontations concerned the question of how much of a nation's sordid past, in comparison with its glorious accomplishments, should be included for study. In an effort to enhance youths' sense of national pride, should Russian texts avoid mentioning the vicious treatment of minorities in Stalin's era? Should Japanese texts gloss over atrocities committed by soldiers in China and Korea? Should German texts downplay the Holocaust of Hitler's day? Should France's curricula ignore the French army's repressive tactics in North Africa during colonial times?
Critics complained of religious bias in Jordanian and Pakistani public-school textbooks. Although Jordanian texts generally advocated tolerance toward other religions, debate continued over the support for jihad, the Islamic principle of waging holy war against non-Muslims. Pakistan's government-sanctioned textbooks for state schools were censured by foreign observers for including such passages as "Islam preaches equality, brotherhood, and fraternity [whereas] the foundation of Hindu [society] is injustice and cruelty."
Attempts to renovate education in Iraq's 16,000 schools resulted in both success and failure. The U.S. Agency for International Development reported that it had built or refurbished 2,405 schools. Although textbooks were rewritten to expunge references to Saddam Hussein's fallen regime, the revised versions still included passages urging Iraqis to fight "against invasion and foreign powers." The production of new civics books that promoted democracy was stalled by inaction in the highly centralized Ministry of Education, and the safety of students was threatened by street violence that caused many to avoid attending class.
Following terrorist bombings in London, the British government rejected demands that the nation's five state-funded Muslim schools be closed. Instead, officials intended to increase the number of such schools to 150 in an effort to move thousands of Muslim children from independent Islamic schools into government-controlled mainstream education. Muslim schools would be offered the same voluntary-aided status held by almost 7,000 Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Jewish schools. Complaints that Muslim schools in the U.K. failed to teach tolerance of other faiths led the British Office of Standards in Education to inspect 50 Muslim schools and 40 evangelical Christian schools. Investigators discovered that a higher proportion of evangelical schools (43%) than Muslim schools (36%) were guilty of intolerance.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the Gulf Coast area in late August, thousands of American refugee students from the disaster area were enrolled in schools across the nation. Storm damage had left more than 135,000 children in Louisiana and 35,000 in Mississippi without a nearby school to attend.
A South African research centre reported that while sub-Sahara African countries were moving slowly toward universal schooling, more than half of the region's 80 million children of primary-school age were still not in school. Enrollment in secondary schools in 22 countries was below 20%, while less than 10% of the workforce had a secondary-school education. In an effort to reduce the AIDS epidemic in Uganda, MP Sulaiman Madada offered to pay the university fees for girls who were virgins when they graduated from high school.
French students organized massive street demonstrations to protest changes that Minister of Education François Fillon proposed for the traditional baccalaureate test ("le bac"), which for two centuries had been high-school graduates' passport to a university education. Faced with such furor, Fillon withdrew his proposal so that 634,168 high-school seniors in France and its overseas territories could sit for the exam, which annually confronted students with the analysis of complex philosophical issues; "le bac" dated back to Napoleon's time.
Education officials in Finland credited the quality of the nation's teachers when Finnish 15-year-olds scored at the top in the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) testing plan that compared educational achievement across 41 industrialized countries. The generally poor showing on PISA exams by students in Germany (ranked 25 out of the 41 countries) prompted the German government to extend the length of the school day and offer improved and expanded German-language instruction for immigrant children.
The proper role of religion in schools concerned officials in Canada and the U.S. The government in Quebec gave church-sponsored schools three years to replace their religious curriculum with classes focusing on ethics and comparative religious cultures. In the U.S. more school districts considered supplementing the study of Darwin's theory of evolution with either biblical creationism (the belief that human life began as depicted in the Bible in the first chapter of Genesis) or creationism's recent modification—intelligent design (attributing life's beginning to an unidentified supreme being). Efforts to introduce such religion-based beliefs in science classes attracted increased attention after President Bush recommended adding intelligent design to science curricula. In December, however, a judge in Pennsylvania ruled that high-school biology teachers should not have been permitted to read a statement to students to the effect that intelligent design is an acceptable alternative theory to evolution.
The use of computers as learning tools continued to expand. A survey in the U.S. showed that 67% of nursery-school children and 80% of kindergartners used computers at school, with 23% of children in nursery schools and 32% of those in kindergartens accessing the Internet. In higher grades the proportions of students using computers were 91% in grades 1–5, 95% in grades 6–8, and 97% in grades 9–12. Data from the PISA testing program showed, however, that the more time children spent on computers at home, the lower test scores they were likely to earn. Analysts estimated that much of the home time was spent on computer games and Internet chatting that contributed nothing toward test performance. In contrast to the PISA evidence, a study in the U.S. found that children with computers at home—but no television sets in their bedrooms—earned higher test scores.
The damaging effects of excessive television viewing on school performance were assessed in a New Zealand long-term study; researchers found that the watching of TV for more than three hours daily by children and teens was strongly associated with their failure to finish high school.
Problems caused by students' carrying cell phones motivated school officials to restrict or ban cell phone use. Teachers complained that mobile phones in classrooms diverted students from learning tasks and interrupted class sessions by ringing at inopportune times. In Britain 1,013 penalties were imposed on students who used cell phones inappropriately, a 16% increase over the previous year. More than 2,500 British students had their test scores reduced because they had cheated, with the 9% rise in cheating partly due to students' using mobile phones' text messaging features to seek answers from classmates. (See Computers and Information Systems: Sidebar.)
To cope with a shortage of teachers in the U.S., more than 1,000 schools imported more than 1,900 teachers from abroad, thereby continuing a recruiting practice that accounted for more than 10,000 foreign teachers in the country's public elementary and secondary schools and another 5,000 in charter and private schools.
