    Hmm . . . it doesn't have the right ring to it . . . also because it uses too many 'big' words . . . remember the intended audience

    That's why the regime needs to keep the poor population poor, unable to get a good education and an affordable health care. So what else is available for them?

    And that fact has far reaching impacts on the population we are seeing now... (Never mind, blame the POTUS - and China, Russia either...)

    dont be too hard on the americans. it is human nature to attempt to dominate and control, especially when one has the strength ( military or financial) to back it up.

    maybe the americans missed their opportunity when they were super rich to expand economically and gradually make the world dependent on them for trade and investment, but the americans have always been driven by their macho mentality and prefer to show muscle, like their traditional enemy, the russians.

    the americans are no different to the brits when they expanded the empire, or the chinese and their expansionist policies these days. it is human nature. big fish have always attempted to eat little fish, usually with great success. countries that resist the chinese will either suffer great poverty or eventually be subjected to military aggression.

    it has been going on since the dawn of time and isn't likely to end any time soon. despite the idealist sloganeering and childish bleating of libtard slops.

    This study probes the effect of a remedial English course in raising the level of English proficiency of freshmen at the UnitedStates International University. Using a quasi-experimental design, it tracks 46 underprepared students, admitted to the USIU inthe Summer Semester of 2011 who failed to make the threshold for university course in a placement test (pretest) and wentthrough a remedial English course for 14 weeks. On completion of the course, they were given the same placement test (posttest).Comparisons between the scores in the pretest and those on the post-test are used to determine the significance of the change thetreatment gives the students. Further comparisons are made between the scores in composition and in the grammar sections of thepretest and posttest and variation between the scores of students. T-tests establish a significant and positive difference at p valueof p=0.00 between overall performance between the pretest and posttest and between grammar and composition aspects of thetests. The conclusion is therefore that the remedial class raises the English proficiency of the students
