"Comment on Power of Information authors rebuff Ordnance Survey ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:42:47

The key air about charging is whether the UK would benefit more in net terms from the more vibrant information market that more change state information would bring than it would lose through having to find an additional £60m per year. This is a serious challenge that the Treasury is currently looking into having accepted the recommendation in the independent review we co-authored for the government earlier this year. […] And that was followed by further response from Tom Steinberg and Ed Mayo the authors of the Power of Information who say: The key issue about charging is whether the UK would benefit more in net terms from the more vibrant information merchandise that more change state information would carry than it would lose through having to find an additional £60m per year. This is a serious question that the Treasury is currently looking into having accepted the recommendation in the independent review we co-authored for the government earlier this year. […] […] And that was followed by further response from Tom Steinberg and Ed Mayo the authors of the Power of Information who say: The key air about charging is whether the UK would benefit more in net terms from the more vibrant information merchandise that more open information would bring than it would lose through having to sight an additional £60m per year. This is a serious challenge that the Treasury is currently looking into having accepted the recommendation in the independent review we co-authored for the government earlier this year. […] To add to this… I accept the evaluate of £50 million received by OS for licences is from central government only. The ‘real’ be of £60 million would therefore be reduced further when you consider the other public funded bodies that are currently forced to pay for OS data. Aside from this how much does it cost OS to administer these licenses? Judging by the amount of time spent on developing the Mapping Services Agreement (and the size of the thing!) this evaluate must be huge! Steve an interesting comment and not sure one that has been fulled appreciated in this communicate as yet? i don’t know as i’m a new follower but if OS data was “paid” centrally by central government in a different way as advocated by the campaign and that data was made available freely to all those public function people like us local council types and others then as you state there would be little need for the Mapping Services Agreeement..

"Public School Haters Never Let Facts Get in the Way" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:34:01

What would you say if I told you America has one of the best public school systems in the world? Would you believe it or would you say that I must be either joking completely nuts or possibly on some strong meds? You might say that I’ve missed the news about how bad our public schools undergo become or that our graduates simply aren’t prepared to compete in the changing world economy. Or that our students consistently score below most of their counterparts from other developed nations on standardized tests. Or that our teachers are simply an extension of some wacko union that’s only concerned with self-preservation and the status quo. You’ve all heard the supposed facts that are used to bash our public schools. Maybe you’d say that the only way to alter our failing public schools is to hit them where it hurts. You know to take money directly away from them and give it to. Or maybe you evaluate that our public dollars should be used to support private schools where teaching is viewed more as a. Whatever the fodder being used to criticise our nation’s public schools happens to be at any given moment you can bet one thing is certain. The overwhelming majority of pubic school haters (PSHers) haven’t stepped pay in a public school in years. Because if they had they would see the public schools I’ve go to know after eight years of teaching in them. The same schools that take kids from the most diverse backgrounds in the history of mankind and mold them into productive come up prepared and mostly all around good Americans. Americans that go on to graduate from the best universities in the world. Americans that help to make up the —ahead of Japan and far outpacing Germany and the United Kingdom. The same Americans that fill the vast majority of jobs in the world’s biggest most diverse and arguably most technologically advanced economy. American’s that go on to bring home the bacon in one of the world’s most sophisticated health care systems one of the world’s best judicial systems and finally the same Americans that go on to serve in the world’s greatest military if you listen to the PSHers you’d think that all of these important jobs must be filled by private school graduates home schooled kids or possibly even by immigrants. Surely those jobs aren’t being filled and constantly being refilled by public educate graduates. Yea yea the haters might say but what about the kids finishing high educate that can’t even read or create verbally on 5th and 6th grade levels. We’ve all heard stories or undergo come into communicate with these young populate. How good could our public schools possibly be? come up. I’ll tell you about those students. These types of kids never even used to be in school. They were thrown away told they were too stupid for school. They were forced to work at an early age in the America of old. Since our America has said that to be morally do by we are now forced to deal with some of the hard truths that accompany a system that says education isn’t a allow but a right. Think about it. In 2005 according to the U. S. count Bureau’s Current Population analyse. Most teachers would express you—85% on anything especially something as important as high school graduation rates isn’t too shabby. Now let’s compare that 85% to the America of old. What about turn-of-the-century America when our industrial might was just starting to flex its muscles? In 1900 only 6% of Americans graduated from high school. Okay but how about the 1950’s when American ingenuity could solve any problem thrown its way? In 1950 less than 50% graduated. In 1970? Just over 50%. You get the point. Our country is graduating a lot more people at a lot higher evaluate than we ever have before. That’s an undisputable fact that the haters seem to gloss over. Does our public educate system always succeed in taking students with disabilities low intelligence or the ultimate handicap of being born into a family that doesn’t value education and get them up to the levels of their peers? Of cover not! At least we can all agree that teachers and especially their unions are ruining public schools right? The haters would sure have you believe that. After all teachers only bring home the bacon nine months of the year they often times don’t have any expertise in the affect they’re teaching and on top of all of that they try to push their radical (aka “Liberal”) values onto our children. Combine these facts with their unwillingness to change the haters ordain tell you and you have a recipe for disaster. At beat these arguments are outdated. At worst they’re insulting and flat out lies. When was the last time you met a teacher that doesn’t put in of his or her educate day? When was the last time you met a teacher that isn’t (overly qualified in many cases) to teach their subject matter? And perhaps most importantly when was the measure measure you met a teacher that doesn’t displace the values of hard work honesty respect for others and the importance of getting an education upon their students? I evaluate we can all agree that those are American values. But that’s not all. Who coaches the vast majority of sports teams who directs our schools’ plays who oversees the leaders of tomorrow at our student council meetings who guides the future geeks of our country in our math and computer science clubs? Seriously who would provide these important jobs if not for our teachers? Unfortunately. I don’t see a lot of volunteering businessmen and/or soccer moms banging on the schoolhouse doors. Do you? It’s gotten to the inform that most people almost instinctively think our public schools are failing. That’s a shame. Maybe if teachers and administrators weren’t spending such precious time trying to meet unfunded unrealistic and useless Federal mandates we could start a public relations race. We could tell Americans about all of the good things that are going on in our public schools. Maybe we could remind them that we are graduating more students than ever before or that. Maybe we could remind Americans that or that almost every single new teacher has an undergraduate degree (or its equivalent) in the affect(s) they are teaching. We could tell them. One would like to think these facts would be welcome news—met with open arms and smiling faces. Then again when was the measure measure the public school haters let facts get into the way of their pre-conceived agenda? Kevin Curran is a teacher in the Cincinnati Public School System. He has been teaching since 2000 with the measure seven years spent in CPS. During the 2006-2007 school year over 92% of his students in 10th evaluate U. S. History passed the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT); compared to the state average of 76%. Mr. Curran believes that parents play the most important role in determining the academic success of students. The accomplishment/accolade enumerate you offer to me says very little. I would assume that AT A MINIMUM every educate would undergo TO achieve the things that you be to evaluate are grand accomplishments. I would consider your list of accomplishments to giving a student a expose “D” on a test simply for providing his/her label and the date. Hey,This is the author of the article. I’m using my user name. Just a few things that I conclude like I undergo to adress. To claim that public schools “have inferior teachers by several orders of magnitude” as the poster above did (The Wendigo) is simply ridiculous. By what measure do you.
