3 wishes

okay, here we go. you get three wishes, anything you want. However, there is a catch (isn't there always?). one must be personal with a description why. one must be on the local or state level with a description why. and the last must be on the national or international level with a description why. I guess since I am posting I will start.

#1: That I could stay teaching in Shelburne because I love the school, the students, the staff, the community and I really feel like it is just a dynamic place I want to be a part of.

#2: In the state, I would love to see actual work done to reform how education is organized and funded. Get away from property taxes which can unfairly punish homeowners and not include renters who also send children to school. Some sort of alternative tax or other formula method that does not rely so heavily on property taxes would be great. Along these same lines, I would love to see some of the school districts consolidated, do you know Vermont has like six times as many districts as Florida?

#3: I would love to see Muslims take back their faith from extremists and spread the true message of their belief system which is quite similar to judeo-christian beliefs in regards to love for humanity. If we could see the Muslim world rise up against extremists and modernize their perspective we would see a very different world.

These are my wishes, what are yours?

    i also like that all the animals had a home and that global warming would cease to exsist.

  7. I dont think global warming can just cease to exist. Also, peace for the whole world isnt exactly the good thing. Just less fighting. Also, some animals dont want to have a home because they move around a lot.

  11. #1) Well, I think a personal wish would being able to have a professional flight school flight simulator, because I love flying and might become a pilot.

    #2)You know, I think wind power would be the best bet other then my 3ed wish that you will read later. Wind is a great source of power and is very clean. But, I think there could be better ways of collecting it then are wind turbines today. I think we should make air tunnels underground similar to how ants do it and make huge air vacuums that go to a wind power plant underground. I'm actually going to suggest this idea to the governor or Obama.

    #3) I would really like to see a large solar station to be built in space orbiting the earth. Can you imagine a life with unlimited power. We could drive any where with electric cars. No energy bill. This would be a huge improvement for man kind.

    #2 I think that we should improve our edecation system (not to copy mr. metz :) )

  14. #1 I wish that Mr. Metz could stay at SCS

    #2 I wish for the prices on windmills to be brought down. This is because many people I know have the perfect conditions for windmills, and while the long term benefits are huge, the starting costs (somewhere around $10,000) out way the gain on the short term.

    #3 I wish for people to open their eyes. This isn't talking so much about people, mostly the just the power who are making bad decisions . CEO's of big companies, for the most part, are trying to skirt around the environmental laws surrounding what they do. I wish that people like them-government officials, company owners- would open their eyes and look, wait, not just look, see. See how the earth is being destroyed in the name of industry, and growth. But how can we grow if the very essence of our being, the earth, is unable to support life. This may seem a little extreme, but that is how I feel.
