What happened to the Progressives?
As a part of the Progressive ideals they thought it was better to help the lower class. What has happened to that? Have we just given up on the lower class, not trying to get them out of this cycle?

- Hey, Matt. Thanks for joining this ning. I hope you find this site to be a fun, useful extension of our class.
Left for Dead will provide you with some helpful perspectives when we get to World War II. I also like the way it shows a student using an interest in history to actually do something.

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01.
