Post 1 by David Warlick is called "20 Mbps & We're still searching the same things." This article showed google searches from 2000 and 2014, and the only difference is the names of the things we are searching for. These items include video games, sports, entertainment, and world shaping issues. I commented that I was shocked how little the list has changed and that this just goes to show that we as Americans are still focusing on the samethings as 14 years ago
Post 2 the article "A nation in Decline", in this article Mr. Warlick addresses the issue of children in lower class and the effects that their test scores are having on teachers. He says that in North Carolina a teacher can be fired if test scores are not where an administrator wants them to be. With 51% of students coming from a lower income home teachers are being set up to fail. If the government does not help our schools this country will never get any smarter. I commented that i agree that our government needs to intervene. If not then nobody will want to be a teacher anymore because of fear of failing.
