**This must be done annually, within three months after the end of each year.**

Or after the filing of financial declarations by mps, whichever comes later.

this 'differentiattion' is crap science created by the so called ED.D.

they expect the teacher to plan three different lessons for three different abilities for one group of students.

The smart ones write an essay, the middle ones answer guided questions, the dumb ones read instructions to make origami.

The smart ones soon figure out that they would rather play games and stop working, while the autistic one is tearing up pieces of paper.

then the govt schools fill the english classes with 40 students. It is a zoo, and the teacher soon gives up controlling the class.

I have yet to see any administrator walk into areal classroom and demonstrate this differentiation.

Another point, which these consultants seem completely oblivious to, is that the price of health care is driven mostly by price gouging hospitals and drug companies.

Capitation is for doctors, not for hospitals and drug companies.

The only factor they claim can make healthcare available to all regardless of preexisting conditions, is to increase the pool of insureds (in other words, let someoneelse pay for it).
That is what caused obamacare to be mandatory including the tax penalty-- so people pay even if they do not use. The costs continued to rise, so a healthy 30 year old pays 3,600 a year in premiums plus a 5,400 deductible, so you have to pay 9,000 or more to play. It is a similar premise that they have with national insurance, which paid all sorts of money to people who never contributed banking that there would always be a pool of young workers to foot the bill. But the system is going broke.

yep, pig, lipstick, et. al.

When the tsunami threatened to hit fukushima, a fellow newsgroup subscriber worked in a nuclear power plant in Europe, so we rushed to ask him: What now? No, problem. he said, the seawater is going to cool down the reactor. We went to sleep assured, the fella had gone college and studied what the researchers said was going to happen, and stood firmly by the science.

Fukushima, as they say is history.

well they now charge vat on top of duty, people accepted it.

they charge vat plus stamp tax on bank transactions, the people accept it.

they are not dropping anything to make way for vat, and continue to double dip.

the business community waits until the deadline to make noise when they should be making noise every day and the figure heads from the chamber and other sectors just like to look good giving speeches.

sad.
