USA School's Social Studies/History teachers respecting Bush too much?
It seems like USA has a lot of freedom of speech but why then in school's do most teachers respect bush so much and nobody talks about how evil he is or bad he is and tells other sides of the story? When i was in school not one single teacher said something negative about george bush or what america was doing, but in real life i hear that stuff all the time from people aren't teachers supposed to tell both sides of the story?

Most of the teachers I know think bush is a liar and a traitor.
2 :
Hey Obama, can it !! Who are you to say he is "evil". This man is one of the greatest presidents yet !! Now shut up or i'll make you my own personal hand puppet. The stupid buffoon above me must have flaming a_holes for teachers.

Not to silly towel heads like you, no.

Are you serious? The majority of educators in this country are liberal democrats, with some being far left socialists with a severe hatred toward Bush. Besides, what's wrong with a teacher showing respect to our president?
5 :
Teachers, like the media, have to worry about being accused of liberal bias. College professors can be more open, but if a high school teacher says something, parents hear about it and stir up trouble. Bush's real legacy can't be fairly evaluated for years yet. When a president is in office, or even when he leaves office, its hard to tell what kind of president he was. Look for instance at Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Republicans have been trying to destroy Carter's reputation for years, but as time goes by he looks better and better. He was the president who tried to do something about our addiction to oil. He brokered a peace between Israel and Egypt, its greatest enemy. And he began strategic talks with the Soviet Union. Reagan, OTOH, was the most popular president in US history at the time he left office, but every year that goes by his image becomes a little more tarnished. We see him today as a crazy old coot who was out of touch with reality. It's hard to find anyone who admits voting for him. So these two presidents, when they left office they were the most popular and the most unpopular presidents in modern history, but today they have switched places! I think 20 or 30 years from now Bush will be seen for what he is, the most corrupt and incompetent president in at least the last century, a man who was more secretive than Nixon, who used every office of his administration for political purposes and who used every emergency and crisis of his presidency as a justification to push a pre-determined agenda.

I don't know what schools you have been watching but most teachers speak very badly about the President. Although there still mad at him for holding them accountable for teaching.
7 :
In the UK most teachers do not particularly like Bush or Blair and we were given both sides of the story. However when it comes to Britain's past and it's empire I have so far been taught very little of the evils of the empire at school and taught how Germany was the biggest evil in the world. It sucks but I use my own brain to find out the whole story.
8 :
You can't be serious. I just graduated from college and I had numerous professors bash bush on a daily basis. One of my teachers at the Univ. of South Carolina was Don Fowler who was the former chairman of the DNC during the Clinton years. Don't kid yourself into thinking that the majority of teachers and professors are pro bush. Have you forgotten about the teacher's union which votes democrat religiously every election?
9 :
Not on this side of the pond , mind you some kids from your side thought Winston Churchill was a pop star
10 :
Because, at least according to your question, you are learning "Social Studies" and/or "History" on the US taxpayer's nickel. Your teacher is supposed to be teaching Social Studies (whatever that really means) and History, not propagating his or her political opinions. If you hear negative things about the United States "all the time from people," perhaps you should seek a less obsessive and more productive environment.
11 :
schools (plural) school's (possessive or contraction-form) If what you say is true, you seem to have attended school in the heart of neo-con la-la land. Math and science teachers don't "tell both sides of the story", ... in general, they teach methods which can predict reality with accuracy. Teachers who teach "current events" might "say things" about the current president, but usually they are not there to guide political choices ... not in the job description (*contrary* to the job description in fact) that being said, history will almost certainly remember "W" as one of the worst US presidents in history.

Medicine school USA? Who can attend
Medicine school USA? Who can attend?
Is it possible, for a non American, to attend Medicine school in the US? What kind of tests will I have to take (SAT, TOEFLS, Proficiecy...)? And what about a vise or a green card?

Anyone who can put up the huge fees can attend. But you need to know that medicine in America is a graduate program, so you will have to have a Bachelors degree (you can have it in any subject as long as you take the required pre-requisite courses like anatomy, chemistry, etc). Yes, you will need the TOEFL. You will not get a green card, as you are coming as a student, you will have a student VISA. You can apply for one at the American consulate where you live once you receive you admissions offer.

Moving to USA - What school year will my son be in
Moving to USA - What school year will my son be in?

If he was born in 1992, is currently in 10th now and will be coming for next year, he should get placed straight into 11th grade. However, if for some reason his transcripts don't process right or his units don't go over right, etc, he could be placed into 10th again. But, if everything goes well, he'll be in 11th, then have one more year of high school and he can do whatever he pleases after that :) Hopefully a university ^_~

Welcome to America. If your son is 16 years old when he starts class in the USA he will be in 11th grade in High School. Seems like it is the same here in the US because if he was here now he would also be in 10th grade.

The US does not have a national standard for high school graduation. Each state determines what is required for graduation. some states have mandated exit exams, others do not. Will you be attending high school here? If so, then I think what you do here is probably more important.
2 :
no you shall not skip
