Current Events Quiz 1.4

1).  The Pope will be in the U.S. for six days and will be visiting three cities:  Washington, New York, and Philadelphia.

2).  No more than an assembly of six people in a short-term rental house.

3).  Many of the vehicles contain software that evades mission controls, which will cost A LOT of money to fix.

4).  The Dallas Cowboys signed Matt Cassel as a back-up Quarterback.

5).  Samsung and Texas Lehigh might not expand their business if tough new emission rules are passed.

6).  Students from a Houston high school wrote a legal brief over the summer about how their lives could improve if Texas was forced to spend more on schools, since they realized that there had never been a student voice involved.  This really did bring more attention to school funding.

These students, in my opinion, are extremely intelligent.  Having students write to the court about school funding was bound to bring more attention to the problem, due to the fact that no student had ever had a say in it.  Their efforts definitely meant something; they helped.
I didn't really learn much about the system due to the fact that I find the music playing in the classroom EXTREMELY distracting.
