How about these items which are not discussed for a leading predictor for doing well in school. I am not just talking about Mathematics either:
1) Banks Destroying the currency of a nation so that nobody can find work, and killing the ability for the average family to have a stable environment.
2) No Work means more food Stamps, starting a hopeless spiral of poverty specifically designed to create more poverty.
3) 1/4 to now 1/3 children are underfed or on food stamps, never discussed in the news becasue Republicans and Democrats control the media.
4) Looting and stealing of educational institutions for pennies while the banks and government rip people off to the tune of trillions of dollars? Carefully controlled media driving home that only if we destroy all social programs, magically the 2 trillion a year on 4 wars can get bigger and will save us all.
5) Systematically destroying the countries ability to tax citizens by removing its industrial and manufacturing centers by "American Corporations" which are hardly American and owned or are now offshore in foreign countries. GE is just one example where no taxes are ever paid in the billions.
Still small change when you consider what the republican and democratic parties are doing along with the Federal Reserve.
1) Lets Tax people and create pension plans so that people have a nice fund to retire with when they are older. It will adjust dynamically with the populations age so that there is always enough money for the future: Social Security.
Nope. Looted by JP Morgan Chase/Goldman Sachs. Thats what happened.
Your told some hogwash about not enough people paying into the fund....etc.
2) Lets take peoples pension plans in corporations and match contributions and dynamically adjust with the corporations size and age of employee population so that the fund remains sounds.
Nope. Looted by JP Morgan Chase/Goldman Sachs. Thats what happened.
You are told it is "too expensive to have pensions". You can't have pensions without socialism. (INSERT BS HERE.)
3) Lets have a tax for highways so that people pay into and we maintain the roads.
Nope. Looted by JP Morgan Chase/Goldman Sachs.
You are told it is just too expensive and the fund is insolvent. (No reason given.)
4) Milwaukee Public School District. Goldman Sachs/JP Morgan: Give us your pensions so we can invest them, with a much higher rate of return.
Nope. Looted and bet against by JP Morgan/Goldman Sachs.
You are told that there is not enough money to cover pensions because public workers get too much, and big government is bad.
Most of the shortages are due to the fact the food is heavily centralized has very poor nutrional value, particularly the GMO stuff.
While we are on the topic, efforts by corporations like Monsanto to defile organic growers and poison their food supplies, destroy there ability to produce seeds all the while while paying off the courts to insure laws prevent people from growing there own food doesn't help matters.
Anyone remember the little girl who was selling lemonade on the street corner last year? Under the guise of "Well, we have to protect the public from little girls selling lemonade.", almost put the kid in prison because she didn't "pay off" Monsanto and other buddies for a license to sell lemonade.
Meanwhle, the FDA just ignore their pals in the poultry business who sold a billion rotten eggs.
Oh, and when did they last inspect the plant that sold the 1 billion rotten eggs?
How about never.
But a little girl on the street corner is a HUGE PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD.
What Monsanto is doing is criminal, and they have to be stopped, along with the bought off judges and criminal organization we call "Congress".
Everything is way too centralized, and the corporate growing of food should be abolished, shutdown immediately.
Too many people have way way WAY too much control over food production and these artificial shortages they create to boost profits is causing a great deal of unrest in the world as well.
Maybe, accidents do happen and so do natural disasters.
But I think clearly the track record of these people speak differently, who have been managing these plants.
You have to be a idiot, not a hero to abide by the decisions of these people running things.
Personally I would go to the CEO of the corporation and tell _him_ to hold the fire hose on the melting, burning spent nuke fuel rod pile that exploded.
After all, he made the decisions not to spend any money to correct a lot of common sense and obvious faults in the plant over its past 10 year operating history which has led to this disaster.
That is what this is too, it is a disaster.
I also would like to point out this tabloid media and the US government officials telling people the radiation that reached the west coast was minimal is nothing but a propaganda campaign.
Folks, you on the West Coast are just getting the low doses that blew out today on the first day they had problems. The REAL stuff is yet to come and it will arrive by plane, by Wind and in your food, the fish you eat over the next 400 years.
The real stuff won't come for another 4-5 days as it was that long before they had major explosions releasing particles that are _lethal_ and would be eventually fatal if you where exposed to them for longer than 1 second.
I guess what is nice about this is there are plenty of independent non governmental sources for rad levels that will be relayed to people who actually want to know what the real deal is.
Lets see how long the idiots at Fox News, CNN and the Democrats and Republican controlled media can spin it.
I am not talking about a Solar, Wind or Geothermal or any other pie in the sky type systems.
I am talking about advances in new physics that are making steady progress, has been known for decades and are ready to go right now.
Just as an example, lets discuss low energy nuclear reactions and why the trillion dollar energy establishment paid off M.I.T., (by threatening to not donate to their high energy/high temperature fusion program) therefore condemning all research on the topic as somehow unscientific.
Destroying articles, scientific research careers and papers and removing them from the public because they threaten the billions in research that is going nowhere after 50 years with nothing to show for it.
There are far better alternatives, and if the governments who are the puppets of the energy industry would get out of the way, everyone could have a nice 27 Kilowatt energy unit in their homes connected to a national power grid with absolutely no centralization and no corporate control.
Centralized power generation networks is not a good idea, and it never will be. I do not build my data networks that way, or my computing infrastructure for the same reasons using a centralized model. They only reason why we build them that way is because a very few corrupt people want to control energy and you can't do that if it is built any other way.
Disasters such as what we are seeing bring huge amounts of service disruption which is entirely not required.
I have never seen a wave like that and at first because of the video perspective I didn't understand how truly large it was.
I also am fascinated by the fact the wave doesn't come crashing down, instead it is a slow gradual event onto land, ever steadily rising.
It gives a false sense of security to those who seek higher ground as the wave height is too gradual to determine.
I noticed sever people on a bridge, about 30 feet above the ground who thought they were safe but soon found out the wave crested over the bridge after a few minutes.
The entire IMF is proposing rolling back food production, human populations, and technological activity.
You can read it in their report.
Oh, well...that is of course, if your country can pay for additional carbon credits, then you can ignore your countries restrictions.
This is paid to the world elite, the IMF banks and banking families. They continue to their lifestyles, while you starve and live in a box or a mud hut.
It is such a scam and in no way reduces carbon emissions, if that is even possible to do.
Secondly, it is clear from climate models that the Oceans create or destroy climate change.
Since 75% of the surface is covered in deep water oceans, I won't be convinced of any climate change proposing to be man made until the total Volcanic output of the Ocean basins are measured properly.
Both in heat and in gases.
We could have a crustal trap event happen on the floor of the ocean and we wouldn't even know about it right now because nobody is measuring that stuff or looking for it.
With a huge portion of that energy not even within range of our current instrumentation used in climate modeling.
To condemn the third world to destruction so a bunch of financial elites can rob vast areas of these countries in the name of climate change is BS.
We have all the technology and money to solve just about any problem mother nature throws at us if we can just get rid of the 1% that want to rob, control, own and enslave the rest of the 99% of us.
You know it is strange. There is a Chase Bank right across from the Madison, WI Capital building, and yet everyone is inside the Capital building asking the WI legislature where all of the money went, how it should be spent etc.
Yet, right across the street, Chase Bank ripped off every pension plan, every mortgage every single investor. Going even as far as manipulating the international silver markets with blatantly criminal activity.
Now because of their criminal activities, the is no money in their customer accounts or government holdings. Instead, they now are soaking the tax payers to replace their bad bets.
Yet, every person in the the Capital building hasn't got even a clue why there is no money for education, jobs or pensions. They _actually think_ it is because democrats or republicans are the blame.
Doesn't anyone have a brain anymore?
I mean you couldn't write a better soap opera and put it on T.V..
I am all for a new display system, as long as it does everything X does, only better and more.
So far though I don't see that from Wayland.
So I feel annoyed, and visions of administration nightmares I will have to face with X gone and stuck with a immature, hastily assembled replacement by another "Lets Invent the Wheel 2.0" again.
a lot of other things are going to be on the "chopping block" so to speak as this depression unwinds.
Now that the bankers have stolen everything and are using the money to jack up prices and accumulate limitless power and wealth by toppling governments, expect lots of things to be on the chopping block.
It will sweep the globe, and many of the elite and puppet governments will fall.
Then you can start to worry about WW III because when people have empty bellies, things get nasty.
This has been done on a massive scale by CISCO to China ever since the DOT com crash in 2001. It is probably the only reason why the company hasn't declared bankruptcy or wasn't bought out since then.
At least I do not know any of my friends who buy CISCO closed proprietary crap for their networks, so I am not sure how this company continues to stay in business.
Although, I seen a CISCO camera at Office Max (it was crap), so maybe they have other ways of ripping off people while they are not selling gear to hunt down people for tyrannical dictatorships to torture or kill.
But what a crock. _NOW_ they are having issues with American companies selling stuff to foreign governments? What a load of bull.
These same idiots have bills in congress right now to hunt down every one of you Facebook addicts that same anything bad about democrats or republicans.
How anyone can listen to anyone in our government now days with a straight face is beyond me.
I don't think I trust the pharma industrial complex to make safe vaccines.
Too many examples have been cited that they rush the vaccines they _say_ we need, for billion dollar contracts.
Secondly, I have never got a flu vaccination shot, yet why is it from general observation, I read about people who die from it, my friends who get it have more colds and miss more days of work, yet I eat right, exercise and wash my hands and never get sick? Two of my friends got sick from that bird flu shot they got as it caused a reaction including nausea and rapid heart rate.
The other issue I have with Gates is he uses his Foundation for all sorts of sordid business deals under the table with third world countries. This includes getting his software used in poor schools.
He tried several times to use his foundation to sabotage the OLPC project.
He has also publicly spoken about how we could control population for the "worthless eaters" and inject people with birth control to decrease birth rates in the third world. He is in favour of not informing the public about such actions.
I also don't trust Gates because he advocates bills that _require_ people to get shots in Medical fields to get shots when there is no evidence that some of these animal models are completely transferable to humans, and that they are safe to use.
In closing, I do not believe many here are fully informed about what exactly the Gates foundation is doing in my cases. I do not believe a person who has broken so many laws to obtain a 80%+ market share is all of a sudden a philanthapist.
After investigating some of these "humanitarian" actions by the Gates foundation I find they are usually nothing of the sort.
Just business deals and a way to hide about 3 billion in capital from taxes, which I think is the real aim of the Gates Foundation.

We will use science to destroy wisdom and blind ourselves to what cannot be weighed or measured.
We will use use religion to become insane and become deaf to the truth..
If Science and Religion do not become one, the human species won't be around for a very long time I am afraid.
Each alone releases horrific consequences, but together they form a philosophy that can take us to the stars, or perhaps beyond our current Universe.
Religion will provide us the faith to try and get there
Science will provide the means.
