     I am a grade ten student doing a social studies project
on developing countries.  I would appreciate responses.
     In our country we have quite a few people who are living
below the poverty line.  The government is not giving them
much aid.  Yet, we are sending a fair amount of money and
supplies to developing countries around the world.  Do you
think we should stop sending aid to those countries and
concentrate more on the problems at home; should we keep on
sending supplies to those countries as usual; or should we
keep on sending supplies but also give more assistance to
those near to us?

something to worry about.I don't think, however, that he'll run in 92'.I just

Tom, for your project, I think that you should spend an ample amount of time researching the kind of aid that poverty stricken, or even simply "poor" people are given by the government, and by private non-profit organizations.  It's better to get the facts than ideas that stem from rumors that most people use for replies.

Be aware that we are still in a recession.  That's a bad reason to make change,but some officials may argue that some sort of decrease in aid is necessary.  If not a decrease in aid, an increase in field of work (US jobs), or increase in commercial expansion in foreign developing (third world) countries.

Brian,
From what you tell me, it sounds like a fascinating place to live. 
I live in Walworth, New York in the U.S.A.  It is in upstate NY and 
located in a small community called Gananda wtih a school in the 
center.  My school is very small in class size.  In my entire grade 
there is approximately 42 people.  The most interesting thing 
historically is this area used to be an indian reservation and we 
contain the majority of the world's drumlins.  In case you're 
wondering drumlins are hills that are quite long but not very wide. 
There are only two other places in the entire world that have these. 
Well there isn't much more to say.  Please write back.

Over at my school, right now, there's a debate going on between the internationally aware population, myself included. Was the United States justified in its actions in the Gulf? Was it really trying to free an oppressed people, or was the motive economic, i.e., petroleum supplies? Or was it to simply restore the Emir of Kuwait (a US ally) to power, despite his less-than-democratic rule? If you've got an opinion, I'd like to hear about it. Thanx...

I've got to tell you, i'm from Texas and I don't know what Perot's 
motives are. He's done some very altruistic deeds, but he has butted 
into the Texas educational system.  He's sent agents to So.East asia 
looking for POW's and also has tried to talk Texas into turning out 
"corporate robots" with solo science, business, or math backgrounds. 
 He's not much for the Rennaisance Man.  Specialization seems to be 
his solution. Like I said, Stephen, I don't know yet. To tell you 
the truth, I haven't heard much about Perot's momotiv, policies, or 
platform. I wonder if he is just bored being rich? One thing I do 
know, I could help him spend his money!! He could really split the 
Republicans badly. What do you think??  Roly Borden

I'm sure you've already heard this one, but here it is anyway! The advent of the multimedia PC has brought a new dimension to education in the workplace -- training costs have been cut dramatically, and I'm willing to bet that it could make education more effective. After all, would an 8th grader rather stare at a textbook, or a computer streaming pictures and sound? Multimedia has the potential to redefine the field, once the cost (no more than $3000 per system) and the lack of appropriate CD-ROM titles a

There are a number of tourist attractions in Vancouver (after all, its a city of about 1.8 million people) The is the Pacific National Exhibition, a number of beaches and mountains for skiing, Gastown, chinatown, enough malls to satify an army of women with credit cards. And others...
The best time to visit is late-spring/summer. Probably because its warm sunny, and green. (Van. was voted "most-green" city a few years back. There are a lot of parks) 
 EF> Our report must also include information about the 
 EF> weather.  Can you tell me
 EF> about the temperatures and rain fall for winter and 
 EF> summer.  Do you know about

If you want specifics, check an atlas, but otherwise... Mild wet winters, warm summers with varying amounts of rain. Usually a breeze coming in off the ocean at any given time. And there havent been any real disasters there...yet.
I hope that helped...

     I'm hoping that you won't mind my making a response prompted by your 
message posted to Kerrie Slominski.  I am a Canadian teacher, teaching 
in Nova Scotia.  I presently teach 11 and 12 year olds at the level we 
call Grade six. I'm involved in most areas of their studies: Math, 
Language Arts, Social Studies and Science.  Science, Math and Social 
Studies are my main areas of interest and in that order. I have a 
particular interest in Astronomy and Natural History (worked as a 
naturalist in some of our federal parks). 
       All my life I've had a particular interest in New Zealand and aspire 
to taking a trip or having an exchange teaching experience there. This 
is why I particularly enjoyed reading your informative message to Kerrie.
My son, who has just nicely graduated from university, a short while 
ago spent 8 months with a few of his college friends working and 
adventuring in Australia and New Zealand. He returned with glowing 
reports particularly about New Zealand. He spent 8 weeks hiking and 
camping from Aukland to Stewart Island. Much to his mother's horor he 
even did the bunji(??) jump. (he kept this from her until much after 
the fact). At any rate he came home very impressed with New Zealand and
the attitude of New Zealand people regarding their natural resouces and
the environment. 
     We live in a good part of the country -in a pleasant agricultural valley
in a province nearly surrounded by  the Atlantic Ocean. We have a wide
variety of contrasting climatic conditions but it is primarily a 
temperate, maritime zone. We definitely have winter usually with lots 
of snow. The effect of the ocean, however, sometimes messes this up and
we get slush and cold rain. But the crisp sunny winter days are beautiful.
My family and students enjoy skiing,  both cross country and alpine. 
This is one way to make one feel positive about winter.  Spring has been
a little late this year in Nova Scotia; March 24th I was actually with 
my class on our local ski hill where we enjoyed ideal conditions -sunny, 
crisp air and fresh powder. The last few days the sun has been warming 
things up, the snow is going, crocuses are poking up and birds are 
beginning to sing everywhere; spring definitely is in the air. We have
other seasons too but I best be ending this message soon. It is already a
bit long.
   Out my living room window I can watch the ebb and flow of the Bay of
Fundy tides, reported to be the greatest range of tide found anywhere.
The usual range below my place is 14 m to 16 m (46 ft to 52 ft).
    I'd really be interested in continuing an exchange of information about
our respective parts of the world either with eachother or through our
students. I look forward to hearing from you.   S.W.

Dear Mary,
    We have about two months left in this school year but I would be very interested in communicating with you.  I have 19 students in a self-contained classroom and attempt to teach them all the academic areas.  We live in a small rural community at the base of Berkshire East a ski resort so most students are proficient skiiers.  We also have the Deerfield River in our backyard.  This is regulated by dams but when thewater is up parts of it are a class 2 river and several of the students do kayaking.  Our


end of the year class trip may be a raft ride down the river.  Look forward to hearing from you.  Do you have a specific focus you want to communicate under or just general conversations with our classes.

I agree that Austrailia is much harder to get to. The problem is that the 
Liberal establishment in this country is making it so easy for immigrants NOT 
to assimilate i.e. having a multilingual culture. So many things are written 
in Spanish,and Oriental languages which makes me (and many others) feel like 
a foreigner in their own country.It's disgusting and absolutely horrible, not 
because it is a different language but because that we live in a 
traditionally English speaking country but we are losing that and frankly, 
I'm frightened.
