100% of IST Graduates were Accepted by their First-Choice Middle School
Tucson has few good Middle School programmes from which to choose; many Tucson parents do not realise this nor that places in the better
schools are limited. The over-riding concern in choosing a Middle School
should of course be which programme is best for your child, and for
your family, according to the resources you have available.

Spanish and Chinese for ages 5 - 8
IST is considering opening new entry-level Junior School Chinese and Spanish classes for 2011/2011. These "ab initio" classes would be mixed J1 / J2 groups for ages 5 - 8, meeting for half a day in Chinese or Spanish and following the school's regular timetable and programme structure. They would still have Music, Physical Education, Field Trips, Visiting Speakers and so on. The students would then join a regular English class for the other half of the day.

"Local" schools
Pundits often claim that the strength of US public education lies in
"local control", meaning locally-elected school boards, with members
reflecting their communities, which are locally-funded through
locally-set levies and taxes. This is a myth. The only truly local
schools are independent schools.

Bieber attack case comes from laser tag game
News lately broke of a Justin Bieber assault case. The Usher protégé, whose voice has yet to crack, had been not the victim of the assault. Bieber is not the victim at all. In fact, he is allegedly the goon who carried out the hit. Bieber was playing laser tag in Toronto, and a scuffle broke out between him and a troop of younger kids. The 16 year old Bieber is alleged to have punched a 12 yr old in the face in the midst of a confrontation.

Sarkozy bribing scandal rocks the whole French government
It was reported by the Economist that two junior ministers from the French government have resigned over expense report discrepancies like $ 15,000 Cuban cigars and $ 147,489 for a private jet to fly to "a conference devoted to the penniless victims of the Haiti earthquake." Now scandals regarding the acceptance of illegal campaign contributions have touched French Labor Minister Eric Woerth and even President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Federal Arizona immigration lawsuit says state law is illegal
The Arizona immigration law was challenged Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Justice Department. The federal government is trying to stop the law from taking effect. The Arizona immigration lawsuit explains that Arizona's new law is unconstitutional because it overrides federal immigration law. Supporters of the Arizona immigration law believe that a state can’t wait for the federal government to deal with immigration reform.

EU banker bonuses capped by European Parliament
The global economic crisis was caused in no small part by the shenanigans of the banking and investment industries, so the European Parliament has voted 625-28 in favor of EU banker bonuses being capped as soon as possible. Excessive pension payouts will even fall under new guidelines. The Associated Press reports that any short-term cash bonuses from next year could be limited. Now it's time for the rest of the world to follow suit.</p>

Office of Financial Literacy seems tucked away in financial reform bill
The financial reform bill Congress would like to pass by the Fourth of July consists of establishing a new Office of Financial Literacy. The new Dodd-Frank financial reform bill also includes a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to enforce ethical behavior from banks. But ultimately, consumers will have to educate themselves about money management to stay out of financial trouble. The Office of Financial Literacy will try to make it easier for them to do that.
