My Last Blog Post
This week, since I have already found the majority of the information that I need, Im going to do a signing off blog. Sadly, this will be my last blog post. I know that all of you readers out there are very saddened by it. We have finally come t6o that dreaded nine week end of the trimester and it is time for me to prepare my final project. This week I will piece together every little bit of information that I have gained over the last couple of weeks into a highly complex and informational ted talk. I would like to thank my teacher Mrs.Cenci for a wonderful trimester!Wish me luck on my project!

What do y'all want me to answer?
This week instead of making my blog a information section, I'm going to let my blog viewers ask me any specific questions that they would like for me to look up. I hope that my viewers ask questions that would further my understanding of my project. It is also around the time where I will be starting my final project and i want your help on what the layout should look like. Should i do all of the different countries and compare them together? Or should i compare specifically the United States and Spanish speaking countries together? Any input would be great! Thank You!
current event- This week i read up on how an illness, like the ebola, can affect schooling. Baically throughout the article it tells of hows schools will be closing if they are known to have contact with someone sick with ebola. This should affect children around the world with their schooling.

Education in Cuba
Education in Peru is one of the Main priorities in Cuba. Cuba makes it a priority because they see it as the "future of the country". Cuba spends 10 percent of their national budget on education, compared to 2 percent in America or 4 percent in England. There are 12 hours of school in a day and all primary school is free. Education in Cuba and America have many differences. America goes through 7 to 8 hours of school and only government funded schools are free
Current Event- The Huffington post claims that Cuba has the best education system in the Caribbean and latin america. They believe that the large budget for education really benefits the system. They say that the teachers are above par and are well cared for by the government.

Education in peru
Education in peru is not much different from Spain. Education in Peru is free for students coming up through elementary to high school. It is also free for good students that want to attend a public university. Various well credited sources have said that Peru has the best education system in Latin America. Education in Peru dates back to tribal times with the incas. The education in Peru is not much different from the United States education system. The only thing that is different is that success rate the schools have.

This current event dhows that peruvian schools have budgets like the United States schools and that budgets are very necessary in schools to thrive.

Week Three of Education
This week i looked at the wonderful country of Argentina. In Argentina they have government funded public schools and also private institutions. Education at all levels has always been free to the people, even universities. Education in Argentina is pretty independent of the government. their grading system goes form one to ten, one being terrible and 10 being outstanding. Argentinas education system has done fairly well. It has brought up five nobel prize winner.
Current event- The teachers are very angry because the government will not raise their wages, so the teachers wen ton strike to stop the government from hurting their jobs and to raise their wages. This led thousands of student without teachers.

Week 2 of New Project
This week i probably progressed more in one week on this topic than i did on my last topic. Sadly, the information i gained this week is not the happiest information. This week i learned of how most spanish education systems are failing. These spanish education systems have horrible statistics of people coming out of schooling and going into a desired or specialized profession. This leads to the country failing as a whole. Lower income people mean a lower income nation. This is what leads to the third world like country state of these countries. Schooling is the basic foundation for success for people and for countries.
Current Event:http://www.thespainreport.com/11215/spains-urgent-economic-education-problem/
This weeks current event was about how population around the world is growing drastically and how the key to keeping a successful country is education. If countries install a better education system then these children growing up in these countries an go into high income professional positions. Since the people will be making more money, the country can raise taxes therefor making the country richer and more prosperous.

New project:Spanish Schools
Well sadly folks it looks as if i will have to change topics. I have lost interest in my last topic and have deemed it to hard to find information for. So i am going to change my topic to the difference and similarities of schools in Spanish speaking countries and america. I am looking in this project to get a better understanding of the education that they have and what education is better. I thank you all for understanding why i have made this change and i hope that y'all still tune into my blog.
My Current Event: Many latin america children are not getting the education that they need. this leads to kids not getting very dignified work. The failure of the education in spanish speaking countries is the reason for poverty in spanish speaking countries.
