An Ideal school As a Junior attending Ramstein Ameri can High school Resias offended by the Tetter inmates run Asylum pec.1 especially by its concentration on the Public display of affection trash and Cus sing. Of the 600 students who eat lunch at the school and the 28 tables in the Caf Eteria Why did this letter focus on the one table and the handful of student that exhibits these negative Behaviours the writer would be surprised to know of the Many different clubs and activities that my classmates participate in during lunch. I think that the majority of my class mates want to learn which is Why they at tend school and study for exams. Roshas an unexcused Absentee rate of 5 per cent and Omni Magazine selected my school As one of 79 High schools that exhibit tomorrow s Ideal traits and Point the Way to the educational system of the future. Out of 33 department of de sense dependents schools the students of res had the highest number 162 who took the Advance placement exams. Of those students 72 percent of them scored a three or higher. I also believe that my classmates wan the Community to respect us and our efforts at learning rather than judging every teen Ager by the negative actions of a very Small minority. a Germany wonder where a child has Learned such Lan Guage. If parents would refrain from using these foul words for communication an would pick words More suitable then that in , violence and disrespect should not be permissible by anyone until after they experience their own death. Douglas Myers Ramstein a Germany Vitamin k is of the caption to the recent vice president Dan Quayle May seriously mislead when it says Green vegetables. Can cause in general this is an untrue statement. On Yin people who Are taking coumarin and similar anti clotting drugs is this statement works by antagonizing the action of Vitamin k which in turn is essential for the body s manufacture of sub stances necessary for clotting of the blood. Too much coumarin can overpower All the Vitamin k and result in excess bleeding. Too much Vitamin k in the diet from various Green vegetables can overwhelm the coumarin in patients taking it. The average person does t have to worry about eating too much Vitamin k. Or. Frank c. Germany and engaging in All respects As Well As open to helping us understand everyday life experiences in this country. Having had the Opportunity to experience this programme feel More prepared and confident to interact with the people and appreciate the culture and traditions of Germany such an experience is bound to facilitate the adjustment of military Mem Bers and their families and encourage them to create and fulfil positive expectations of their time in Germany.

Moor for nov. 28 . 2 head Start class Heidelberg Germany parents share blame in response to the letter about foul mouthed teens and inmates run Asylum the problem is maybe not so much the teens themselves but the parents of each and every one of them. I be been Parent Long enough to know that kids vill do things to see now far. The boundaries go. They also will mimic adults they re Spect. Cussing is a Learned action Asare All other forms of communication. I believe kids of All Ages Are not totally a fault. I know of parents that use inappropriate language around them and then keep head Start plan having just completed the Headst Rogerman orientation program the Mem Bers of our class would like to express our sincere Hope that this valuable resource will not be discontinued As projected after the first of the year. This program enables soldiers and their families who Are on their first tour in Germany to begin coping actively with the culture Shock that they May face upon their arrival.

Commentary changing world starts with each of us Conn Tim once again another new year. The Promise of a new life the Promise of a new Era. The Promise of a new government. And yet despite All these promises life goes on one Day at a time with no discernible improvement and the Only Chang that occurs it seems is for the worse. Every . 31, As preventive Medicine against psychic stagnation we overdose on personal resolutions. Despite All the self help books and the booming psycho therapy Industry we Don t really believe in the perfectibility of Man much less the perfectibility of society. This in t the Renaissance which Means to say we now know that Man and woman in t a particularly Noble creature. Nor is this the age of reason. Science and reason have tailed when incomes to dealing with problems of the human heart. All those great thinkers whose ponderous works you read in philosophy 101 were wrong. Man in t the Center of the universe. Man in t the great adventurer. Thoreau was closer to the truth whence observed i am a parcel of vain strivings tied by a Chance Bond another new year. Whatever happened to the Promise of a new world nowadays no one is concerned about improvement. All they really want to know is will i be getting a tax Cut that s what it comes Down to largely because few people besides professional politicians and democrats believe in thee Romise of government and few people sides professional Money makers and republicans believe in the Promise of the private sector. All this pessimism has an effect. The nation s mood As judged by the pollsters is dismal. Americans have no Faith in the government of the people by the people and for the people. Even worse they have no Faith in themselves the people. But if we can t improve ourselves an overcome the Petty and violent and Paro Chial tendencies society won t improve. Unfortunately perfectibility requires alot More than resolutions. It requires a curious and indefinable and inexplicable amalgam of resolve self perception fortitude and amazing Grace. In the new year if each of us spent Hal the time pondering what Bill Clinton does and tried to improve our relation with our fellow Man and woman society would inevitably improve. Thoreau said the Fate of the country. Does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot Box once year but on what kind of Man you drop from your chamber into the Street Thisbe proffers another Opportunity.
