- 1943: Multimedia
- ... the education arena. From pre-schoolers to college students, learning adapting to this multimedia craze was not hard to do.

- ... no mainstream culture, but many diverse subcultures which will cooperate for the good of everyone, not just the majority or the minority.

- 1945: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Russian Dissident
- ... Russian Revolution. He said that during his childhood he "bore this social tension - on one hand, they used to tell me everything at home, and on the other, they used to work our minds at school. And so this collision between two worlds gave birth to such social tension inside me that somehow defined the path I was to follow for the rest of my life." Aleksandr had little literary education and read few western novels, and later said he regretted it (Major 20TH Century Writers, p 2792-2793). *After grade school Aleksandr went to the University of Rostov-on-Don and graduated in 1941, majoring in mathematics and physics (Encarta 99).

- 1946: Education: "We Should Cherish Our Children's Freedom To Think"
- ... it that this is still the country of innovation?" Everyone seems to have a different opinion when it comes to this topic. Some feel that the youth of America is lazy when it comes to school. Others like Ho, feel that creativity which America has the most of , is something that people tend to dismiss or take for granted. Having the freedom to express oneself and to be creative can perhaps help a child learn better than any book or school can teach. Other foreign countries such as Japan, do not allow young students to express their true thoughts. True, they might be able to add or subtract numbers at a very young age, but they may never find out, who they really are. Ho uses his high school years as an example. In his homeland of Indonesia he was only able to answer a question when asked. His 6 year old son, brought up in California, at a very young age is ...

I remember the day the university dedicated that lobby to me for my outstanding achievement. My friends and I had led a fund rally for the school to raise money for the many programs which would be affected by the enormous tax hike in the fall of 99. We eventually raised over five million dollars for the university and prevented the cutting of many of the school's fine programs.

First, the students were tested at the end of the school year with the same test they had been given to initially decide their IQs. A different test of intelligence should be given to the students. Being given the same test, some of the students may ... this article. Having a desire to become a teacher, this article has shown me just how much of a reaction my attention to students may have on them. I would like to become a high school or college professor. Even though Rosenthal and Jacobson's experiment revealed that the older the children, the less they were affected by the teacher's expectancies, I would like to see the same experiment performed on high school children. This would reinforce Rosenthal and Jacobson's findings and take some pressure away from how teachers feel they have to react to older students.
