Final Project

 Please post to the web board four of your annotated web bibliographies for me to review.  The newspapers are always doing articles about how U.S. students are under-performing compared to students in other developing nations.  These articles and their supporting research suggest that our public school curriculum fails students because it focuses upon environment kinds of courses to apply science and math concepts that more narrowly teaching content courses in the math and sciences.  You might look in the paper, magazines, and on the web for position statements on this issue and put them in your journal along with your comments.
