   TOPIC: Should students take more standardized state test?

Students should take more standardized state test. we need more standardized test because, half the students don’t even know what they are doing. It can help teachers find out where students need help in that subject.Here are some reasons why.
The students that dont know what they are doing need extra help.The practice test can help them to get to where they need to be. It might take time but at least they are learning something new.There would be a lot more rewards giving out. Students will be more confident within themselves.
 With more state test students are preparing for college. in Middle School teachers ask what you want to be when you are an adult.The teachers can help you with your carrer. For those who decide college is not for them, it prepares them for life in the future.The state test can make sure the students is ready for the next step.
In school teachers have to find out where a student’s are in thier learning skills. Teachers can help you understand what you don’t know. The state test is a great advantage in a way for them to help you.Once you get a hand of things the work is easy. This year’s state test can help teacher’s know how to help next year’s student’s.
 In conclusion having more standardized state test are very important. It helps all kids in need to learn what is important.

Nearing the end

The Holocaust ended at the end of WWII. The Nazi were defeated due to being defeated in war. They were defeated by Russia and the U.S who were called the allies. The Holocaust ended in certain places when the allies let go of the prisoners in the camps in 1944-1945. After Hitler died in 1945, the Germans decided surrendered and let go of all Jewish prisoners. The allied armies all came into Germany to let go of the concentration camps and people. Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker.The reading of book made me very suspicious of what is happening now and then

genocide Today!!!!!!

Turkey is the successor state of the Ottoman Empire, and its official policy on the Armenian Genocide is the denial of its occurrence. Whereas the convening of courts-martial to try the Young Turks for war crimes by the post-World War I Ottoman government amounted to an admission of guilt on the part of the state, the Nationalist government based in Ankara rejected Turkish responsibility for the acts committed against the Armenian population. After gaining military mastery over Turkey, the Nationalists, led by Mustafa Kemal, obtained a series of concessions from France and England which absolved Turkey of any further political or material responsibilities the surviving Armenians. These concessions were formalized in the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne which extended international recognition to the Turkish Republic. Turkey immediately turned its attention to the suppression of the kurds, whose language was banned in 1924 and whose ethnic identity was officially denied by the Turkish state until the 1980s.

 By forcefully promoting Turkism, the Ankara government sought to create an ethnically homogeneous state. In the course of the following decades its treatment of the remnant minorities oscillated from neglect to repression. As it remained neutral during World War II and continued trading with Nazi Germany until nearly the end of the war, Turkey used the occasion of the world crisis to impose extraordinary taxes upon Greeks, Jews and Armenians. The discriminatory exactions economically ruined these small minority communities already confined mostly to Istanbul by the 1940s.

Meaning of the Nazi symbol

What is it's original meaning?

How and why has the meaning of this symbol changed?

What does the Swastika mean today?

The swastika is an extremely powerful symbol. The Nazis used it to murder millions of people, but for centuries it had positive meanings. What is the history of the swastika? Does it now represent good or evil?

The Original Meaning

The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Even in the early twentieth century, the swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. For instance, the swastika was a common decoration that often adorned cigarette cases, postcards,, and buildings. During World War I, the swastika could even be found on the shoulder patches of the American 45th Division and on the Finnish air force until after World War II.

Dr. Josef Mengele is a german man who is called the angle of death.

He earned doctorates in anthropology from Munich University and in medicine from Frankfurt university. He initially gained notoriety for being one of the SS physicians who supervised the selection of arriving transports of prisoners, determining who was to be killed and who was to become a forced labor but is far more infamous for performing human experiments on camp inmates, including children, for which Mengele was called the "Angel of Death." Mengele himself repeatedly insisted that he had not committed any crime, and that instead he had become a victim of a great injustice: "I personally have not killed, injured or caused bodily harm to anyone".
