Participant.......if time permits I cover, in greater detail, the Constitution (Article by Article) and the 3 branches of the government (each, individually, and their conjuctions).
Only if requested; I've hogged enough bandwidth for awhile ::)

ParticipantWally:I failed Roman NumeralsWillyD
Me too; had a helluva time trying to teach them to the 6th grades... so the student teachers did this usually (also tough trying to figure out the year a movie was filmed, etc.) ;DYeah, the girl on front of me in math was a honey too and my grade went in the dumper as well. ::)

ParticipantIt'd be my 1a.

Participant.... This leads me to buy into the real GREAT 20th CENTURY WAR thesis which suggests that the warcame in three acts, or four with the revised version. 1. Act I 1914-19182. Intermission 1918-1939 (sort of)3. Act II 1939-19454. Act
IV[III?] 1945-Fall of the Soviet Union and the morphing of China into something still questionable.... Fascinating subject this.Indeed, agreed all counts and FWIW the thesis I taught on the matter.Notch, I found your commentary very good... you summed the 14 Points and what they should have done very well. Just not sure all the boundary adjustments, in 5, were totally Hoyle or the natives' self-determination really a priority.

ParticipantI'd say Hitler was euphoric about his stunning victories at the beginning of WWII : the Anschluss, Czechoslovakia, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Poland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark and soon England so that he might have felt that overwhelming Russia wasn't such a big deal, not to talk about Hitler's need of raw materials and the prospective of a swift victoryHowever Hitler totally disregarded Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, starting an ill-considered attack
Agreed... on all counts.
Wally
ParticipantGreat job; press on!

ParticipantMy congrats as well.

ParticipantIt's the "home-based" strength that allowed England and France to become dominant in colonisation.
Yes. They both had fairly sound situations at home... easier to get colonies when less dependent on getting colonies.
Wally
ParticipantShameless plug…
This post will end my comments on this thread; I will however wax philosophical on the matter at Civics in Action....
....I remain the optimist though and hope that people will see that they must inform themselves and do so voluntarily, thus eliminating the need for a poll test.
Me too.

ParticipantWally I've downloaded and saved your .pdf's for future reference.
Then they are good for something other than quelling my withdrawls for teaching? Worth my finishing the whole thing (BofR and Const.) then?
Thanks.
Don't forget to copy the body of the first post as it is part of it too... Collect the whole set!
Thanks Phid for fixing my account so I could see Wally's attachments.
Was there a problem on my end with the 'pdf's? If so what do I need to do on my end to fix it?
