Failure at the heart of educational reform, by Francis Chartrand

The heart of the educational reform which puts forward the controversial program of educational projects is a "failure", a study reveals that the Journal has obtained a copy.
The survey, conducted by researchers at the University of Montreal for the Management Committee of the education tax on the island of Montreal, found that in schools where teachers are often group projects, the proportion of students who graduate in secondary education amounted to just 55%.
In contrast, in schools where teachers away this new method, the graduation rate reached 86%.
"It's true that it is annoying for those who put forward these teaching methods," said Pierre Lapointe, one of the sponsors of the study and professor at the University of Montreal, who adds that "on the political side, the study may actually be annoying to many. " Yet the silence is the most comprehensive monopoly Education.
The researcher is of the opinion that this does not affect the reform. "It continues to fuel the controversy, but we can not believe that a new program is just positive," he said.
Teaching
The traditional get a much better note. In schools where teachers often the practice teaching, the proportion of students graduating reached 76% while it is 67% in institutions where they do practice occasionally.
"These results are quite disturbing. The reform has failed in its foundations, "Judge Steve Bissonnette, professor of psychoeducation and psychology at the University of Quebec in Outaouais.
Turn 180 degrees
Robert Comeau, an associate professor in the Department of History at UQAM, who led the lawsuit against the educational reform that has just been published, said he needed to turn 180 degrees.
"The problem at the moment is trying to change the songs to play, such as newsletters. This is the basis for reform that we must change, "he said.
François Paquette, vice president of the Federation of Parents' Committees, said that the study "questions the educational projects, but believes that reform should not be discarded in the trash as long without the Journal de Montreal, we learn why.
For their study, researchers used data from four cohorts of students entered school between 1998 and 2001, totaling 72 698 young people from the island of Montreal. In addition, 212 teachers responded to a questionnaire and 30 principals were interviewed.

When a secular education, Noémie Cournoyer
Note the quality of uniforms, shoes and hats included, and accessories (weapons), the profusion of flags absolutely new, the size and length of the staging. Record also the fact that all children welcome the Koran by leaving scene. These children are indoctrinated cream of their society, their parents are wealthy. No doubt thanks to their allegiance to the movement. And this film is circulating in the Palestinian territories for over two years, where he undoubtedly served as an example and model for countless similar performances.
Worthy of note also the fact that the television channel CNN American left has presented this film without showing the area in which Palestinian children killed by surprise Israeli soldiers then dragged the bodies on the scene.

Omar Khadr dream of revenge, his brother dream of 72 virgins (English), by Iba Bouramine

Somewhat similar in effect even in the turban of mujahideen. And I think it would be a hand and a foot amputated that this young man exibe as booty of war. Nice trophy that child, the radiant smile of development, thanks to good education model jihadist mahométan we balance at your fingertips. Yes, his path seems all mapped out and passed on from father to son Junior Khadr Khadr .... AH ! Sharia ... How charming religious culture and a high sense of ethics. It should not be that this picture is circulating at school during the course on ethics and religious culture in full Islam 101 on the benefits of Shariah: Sura 5 verset42: v. 42 of the Koran:
"As for the thief and the thief, cut their hands both as a reward for what they have acquired [flying] is the punishment of Allah…." You also have another recipe Koranic equally ethical for repeat offenders: the amputation of the leg opposite hand cut off.
This verse has the merit of clarity. More explicit than that, you die!
Our politicians talk of Omar Khadr as a child soldier. They shall refrain from saying it was high and endoctrinné not to be a soldier but to declare the violent jihad against everything that is not Muslim. The endoctrinnement is such that his younger brother, even in a wheelchair dream to explode to reach 72 virgins which he is already receiving the heady perfume.
And our dear politicians want to repatriate such a bomb at us. They do not tell us whether they intend to monitor Omar Khadr after his eventual repatriation and how many millions of dollars this will cost monitoring the Canadian taxpayer.
And what will happen to Bob Rae and Gilles Duceppe if Omar Khadr s'avisait to put into practice the jihadism he absorbed with breast milk, being detonated somewhere in Canada or elsewhere, resulting in the death of innocent victims? Bob Rae will stop there to sleep and Gilles Duceppe would be pretty crazy to resign? Probably NOT, well-righteous are never wrong, even when they are responsible for disasters.
It does not slow to realize that the safety of innocent people is not the priority of our dear politicians, what concern is to be politically correct, their gestures to the media do to bring grist to the mill Islamists and alleged human rights defenders.
Besides all this beautiful world, including politicians, were strangely silent when they learn in the news that this or that ex-Guantanamo detainee, returned to his country and supposed to be monitored closely, blew himself up in Iraq causing the death of dozens of people, or has been killed in Afghanistan fighting against soldiers of the international force.
Whether here or elsewhere, I do not want revenge for revenge. After all, Omar Khadr is doubly victim: his father and his destructive religion. I do not think it represents a serious threat to Canada, since it will be closely monitored by the RCMP, which could even benefit to unmask future terrorists.
But at what cost? A country that has balls (certainly not Canada) would have even tried for high treason, since he fought against allies in a war endorsed by the UN which involved his own country (but without taking this into account that his own country is Islam - Canada does that when seed).
What is amusing in his case it is rather hard with which the politicians of the opposition are fighting for the repatriation, especially that this video "sensational" with the RCMP officers were shot while the Liberals were in power ! What a great heart that Stéphane Dion! As for Layton and Duceppe, it makes for a long time we know their monopoly "humanist" as a very progressive convinced candy pink.
What they would not to embarrass these evil of the U.S. administration, these "fundamentalist-extreme-right" even at great expense to repatriate a member of a family who openly spits on democracy Western and who do dream of slavery - with its Islamic model - the very people who defend. The most ridiculous is that I read somewhere that an Imam of a mosque would be ready to take charge in order to show him the "true Islam of peace" (he begins by showing it to his brother here )!
And in case seed with a vengeful Khadr, no problem: These same politicians then hasten to blame Harper, Afghanistan, politics and conservative offense that marginalizes Muslims, and so on.
The case Khadr soldier raises the following questions to our dear leftists premises:
Is it legitimate to shoot a child packed with explosives as it prepares to blow in a Shopping Centre as Israel? (It will be entitled to one pound of blah blah, but never the right answer).
How interested the fate of Khadr, if the latter was an extremist Christian accused of plotting to blow for an abortion clinic in the U.S.? (They would have the opposite advantage of its presence there to request a copy punishment in his case, given the sentences candy here)!
I want to see that Afghans are overwhelmed, I want to believe they want to defend themselves, but I am of the opinion that this young is sunk. At 15 years he knew what he was doing, he had the age of reason, it must therefore be held responsible for his actions, especially when he and his brother want to become martyrs.
What can I say more ... we bury our living with "tolerance shit" with all tits friends of the "rainbow" mu-mu-mu-multicultural, dancing O Canada in 420 languages to reassure all Canadians and the - Canadian ladies, that everyone loves, with their beautiful smile on their fucking hypocritical face.
We have seen, winter 2007, it was stand up standing in Quebec and vlan is broken legs in Hérouxville. There is even a species of "special squads to patrol or pro-diversity being the great multicultural propaganda coup of the Koran and Sharia" by "mullahs ass kissers' which are gogauches Plateau Mont-Royal, and This is the deepest trough of Témiscamingue, câlisse, just to fuck the people of Ville-Marie and Quyon, to be sure that another Hérouxville never happens and to understand the Quebecers' that multiculturalism is here to stay and that our folklore, we must fuck it in our own ass because it is contrary to the values of Jews and Boibriand Outremont and Islamists Park-Extension, Ville Saint-Laurent and Ville LaSalle."
Yes, now it is best seen, for the Council of the Status of Women in Quebec, wear the hijab or birka, that wearing a g-string or a straitjacket.
Let us be vigilant and continue to be blinded by stupid Rights of the Human and Faith of Bullshit. Our country deserves better and more: the preservation of our civilization and our civil protection.
