Obama has appointed to the post of President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics Shakira. Yes... Shakira. It's like some Onion news story that went viral or something. http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm ... ddc84.html Does he just not know many hispanics and thus chose a random one he was familiar with? Perhaps he wants her because he's tired of people lying to him and, as we all know, her hips don't lie. |

Mmmm Shakira. I could watch most of her vids til the end of time. Didn't he appoint an actor to an important post in his cabinet before? Found it http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... Xnt_hqV._8 As long as these people's role is mostly symbolic, I can see the rationele behind it. Succesful role models never hurt. Still, is Shakira even American?  Oh and apparently Shakira is a member of Mensa and has a reported IQ of 140 (!). What!

She's not American, so it's a fail. It's also the freaking board of education! Not to say she's not intelligent... I didn't realize she was almost at my intelligence level (  ) but that doesn't change the fact she's not affiliated with education in any way.Still...she's hot. |

Don't get me started on people running the education department without ever having stood in front of a class! Or having any relevant experience whatsoever. Prime example is our minister of education, who's really screwing up our education system, which was pretty fine. If i hear from others what children have to learn below the age of 12, i'm getting scared. I already feel the level of education is dropping, and it's not going to get any better. Still i wouldn't mind having Shakira as our new principle (instead of some lawyer they took now). |

On a totally unrelated note, i think satis is afraid of her smartness.

Heh, the thought that nowadays they're saying "we shouldn't annoy our children with too much grammatical rules, and they shouldn't have to memorise whole lists of vocabulary" must make you sick. Good luck learning to speak a language like that. Everything has to be 'fun' nowadays. Well, life isn't always fun, a job is (most of times) no funhouse either, it comes with responsabilies, tasks you'd rather not do, and so on and so on. Btw i'm a chemistry major, but like germaanse and TFL, chemistry and physics is probably almost the same to you

Hahaha! Exactly! And I agree completely...you can't make everything fun. If you do, you're giving kids the wrong impression of what life is going to be like, and perhaps a lacking toolset for making it in life. |

You realize people have been saying that about education for... uhh.. ever? Spare the rod, spoil the child! If we don't teach them Latin, the world will end! Regarding science... |
