The world according to Trump 2017 - 2021





The world waits to see what 2017 will bring.




It seems you can fool most of the people all the time...


Trumps agenda - America to be run by a one man band. Even true Republicans are worried



Sanders - a lost opportunity to help those left behind. The future requires a political party to provide for all.













Democracy in America - a game for millionaires to play


Forget Obamacare - look after the rich!



The Republicans will provide better care for the poor - yeah right!


The world will miss this family - Obama blocked at every turn by the Republicans.

Glasser had written a number of books  all with a focus on achieving quality work for all student s  without teachers using coercion. There is a New Zealand Glasser Association  for anyone interested. Glasser's belief is that  , with the appropriate conditions, all students can do quality work but, it would be fair to say, many teachers find this hard to believe .  Currently schools focus on students achieving imposed standards which sadly labels a number of students as 'not achieving the standards ( or in the students and parent's eyes failing).  The currents government's dogma is that 1 in 5 students fail while at the same time ignoring the  effect of poverty on achievement; that the students from poor socio-economic backgrounds lack the 'social capital' of their more well off classmates.
