One by one, four eighth-graders from the class came to the microphone at a Tallahassee hearing and schooled the House Health Care Regulation Policy Committee about hundreds of pain clinics that have proliferated in South Florida, some selling millions of narcotic pills to addicts and drug dealers.

"This has been going on for a very long time and we need to start doing something about it because it keeps getting worse and worse," Sean Espinosa, 14, said before the hearing. "More people are going to get addicted and more people are going to die."

The class has made the pill mill issue its project this year, researching the problem in depth and enticing legislators, FBI agents, state officials and mayors into their classroom, where they wow them with a fact-filled computer presentation and pepper them with questions.

"They are fantastic. I've been to college classes that haven't done the detail work this middle school class has done," said Abruzzo, D-Wellington, who along with Rep. John Legg, R-Port Richey, co-sponsored HB 225, one bill the students are pushing.

The kids had met with Abruzzo and held a conference call with Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-West Palm Beach, to discuss the wording of their legislation, which the students call "our bills." They wrote letters promoting the proposals and will host former governor and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham for advice on lobbying. They met Monday with a top aide for Gov. Charlie Crist.

"Did you ever try to pass a bill when you were 12?" said their teacher, Jackie Viana. "I want them to see the process in action. I want my kids to believe in government."

The students delved into the pill mill issue after seeing news reports about the rising number of deaths and pain clinics, and after hearing that the mother of a teacher died from a prescription drug overdose. Maria Ordaz, 15, knew a friend addicted to oxycodone.

"I had to throw his pills down the toilet," said Ordaz, who also testified. "I thought, wow, I can try to make a difference and someone won't have to go through this."

The classmates revealed details state officials were surprised to learn, such as Internet message boards where addicts swap tips on the easiest pain clinics for getting pills.

"We thought it was outrageous," said Francesca Garcia, 13.

The students want to get tougher than legislative leaders are proposing. They want to ban non-doctors from owning pain clinics and ban clinics from advertising, as dozens do in youth-oriented alternative newspapers. A Broward County grand jury recommended both steps, but neither made it into a sweeping bill (SB 2272) filed last week with Crist's backing.

Monday's result: The committee approved the bill, which now goes to another committee for a hearing.

The kids have learned a few lessons in lawmaking.

"I thought we would just have to talk to a few people, but now I see there are a lot of politics and so many people involved," said Yanelys O'Connor, 14. "And there are so many people going against each other. We just hope we can make a difference."

Below is a review of the article posted in The Economist on March 1, 2010.

The freest and most democratic nation? Mar 1st 2010, 2:21 by R.L.G. | NEW YORK I STARTED reading Ramesh Ponuru and Rich Lowry's article on American exceptionalism this morning, expecting that it would start an interesting week-long or so debate about what makes America America. Damon Linker in the New Republic gave the article a few points for "well-timed concessions", and so I thought perhaps it would really be thoughtful.

But this sentence tripped me up:

It is freer, more individualistic, more democratic, and more open and dynamic than any other nation on earth.

There are five adjectives there. I won't disagree with "more individualistic" or "dynamic", and let's leave aside "more open" for vagueness. But the statement that America is "freer" or "more democratic" than literally every other society on earth, is argued largely through the quotations of founding fathers and Lincoln, as if saying something made it so. Then there is a bit of half-hearted comparison to other democracies, but it cherry-picked, and often represents only dubious proxies for "freedom" (government spending as a percentage of GDP) or aspects of "democracy" of dubious value (the fact that America elects rather than appoints many officers like sheriffs and judges).

How would we truly rate democracies if we had point-by-point, careful comparisons? Well, it so happens that a Washington-based and government-funded NGO, Freedom House, rates every country on earth for "free" and "democratic" qualities. (Full disclosure; I'm an advisor to the group.) Specifically, it gives every country a rating from 1 to 7 on political rights (call that "democracy") and another on civil liberties ("freedom"). America, as a matter of fact, gets an overall 1-1 rating; so do many of the other democracies, mostly in Europe. But there are finer-grained measures—subscores on questions like "electoral process", "rule of law" and "freedom of expression" that add up to the two topline measures. Not only does America not have perfect subscores; looking at the table for the most recent year with full data (2008), we see that right next to it in the table is Uruguay, which has higher scores in several categories and thus a higher overall score. Ranking all countries on these subscores, America comes in a multi-way tie for 30th place. So according to a respected NGO often considered to be on the centre-right (though the board is politically diverse), America is not the freest country in the world, or most democratic. It isn't second or third either. It's merely in the top tier.

You can go through Freedom House's methodology and pick nits, of course. So let's go to the qualitative narrative. What's wrong with America's political rights ratings ("democracy")? Freedom House mostly notes the things that we have in The Economist and everyone knows: the influence of money undermines the one-man one-vote ideal. Gerrymandering renders most congressional elections utterly uncompetitive. The party system is not realistically open to the rise of new parties. The electoral college allows a popular-vote loser to become president (and has done so twice). Corruption among high officials is not uncommon. What about civil liberties (Messrs Lowry and Ponuru's "freedom")? The legal environment is hostile to labour compared to other democracies. The justice system is usually agreed to be unfair to Latinos and blacks, and America imprisons a far bigger share of its population than any other democracy does. Racism hampers economic mobility. And because the report only covers the freedom on America's own territory, it does not cover secret prisons, torture or Guantánamo. Oddly, the report does not mention the mental destruction of José Padilla, an American citizen, in custody on American soil.

The Economist remains bullish on America's economy and polity, whatever frustrations we may have. America is exceptional, in its power and its dynamism. Meanwhile, read all of Freedom House's narratives and you'll find that there is no country report without criticism. Some of the things above are true of a few or many other countries. But America is not only imperfect. It is imperfect in ways that sometimes shock not only the Europeans Messrs Lowry and Ponuru sneer at, but also many Americans, including the centrist types who run a place like Freedom House. The blanket statement that America is the "most free, most democratic" country on earth strikes the serious comparativist as what it is: not an empirical fact but as an article of faith, one that needs to be accepted before a true patriot can go on to make minor, qualified criticism. This is not clear thinking, and since it is Messrs Lowry and Ponuru's premise, no argument based on it can be solid either. Nor is it real patriotism: a real patriot is an honest critic.

This volume examines Arab education in a range of contexts – regional, diasporic, and trans-national – to better understand how the field of Arab education is formed through local, regional, geopolitical and global engagements and resonances. In doing so, contributors from a range of disciplines open critical conversations about the intersections of history, culture, geopolitics, policy, and education. The World Yearbook of Education 2010 offers new conceptual and empirical approaches that deal with some of the often-neglected aspects of the study of Arab education: contested political projects; struggles towards emancipation, recognition and liberation; and a larger concern for social justice, equity, and political inclusion.

In recent years, a strong spotlight has been cast on how important effective teaching is to dramatically improving education across America. With nearly three million public school teachers, America is fortunate to have many committed and highly effective instructors in our schools who understand better than anyone the rewards of public education, as well as the need for some dramatic improvements.

Teachers perform many vital leadership activities at the local level, but too often, they lack opportunities to contribute to the development of education policy on a broader scale. However, it is to other teachers that colleagues and parents frequently turn for information about education.

The U.S. Department of Education designed the Teaching Ambassador Fellowship to enable outstanding teachers to bring their classroom expertise to and expand their knowledge of the national dialogue about education and in turn to facilitate the learning and input of other educators.

Mission: The Teaching Ambassador Fellowship is designed to improve education for students by involving teachers in the development and implementation of national education policy. The Fellowship seeks to:

·         Create a community of teacher leaders who share expertise and collaborate with policymakers and leaders in the federal government on national education issues.

·         Involve teachers in developing policies that affect the classroom.

·         Expand teacher policy leadership at the national, state, and local levels.

Applications due 2 March 2010. For more information, please go to http://www2.ed.gov/programs/teacherfellowship/index.html

When they started writing, they knew that there was something genuinely interesting and powerful in the convergence of what they went on to describe as the three seismic shifts of our time: the Perfect Storm surrounding Climate Change; the need for a Wellbeing Imperative; and the reforming power of Digital Democracy. The more we talked, the more the content seemed to flow.

Peck and Phillips do not always agree. Nor do they think they have all the answers. But they do want to catalyse and participate in a wider debate – not only about the shocks they describe but also where, possibly, they are leading us.

They are open sourcing both the ending and – more importantly – the Manifesto for Change, so they hope you will contribute to the discussion.

Call for Papers:

Science and Technology – Citizenship and Sustainability This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference aims to explore the role of ecology and environmental thinking in the context of contemporary society and international affairs, and assess the implications for our understandings of fairness, justice and global citizenship. ‘Environmental justice’ is conceived broadly as reflecting not only justice in the context of human communities but also towards other species, ecosystems, habitats, landscapes, succeeding generations and the environment as a whole. ‘Global citizenship’ is understood as an awareness of individual’s relative responsibilities in the global context. Within this framework the 9th Global Conference on Environmental Justice and Global Citizenship will explicitly explore the role of science and technology in achieving sustainability. Science, (including physical and social science, traditional ecological and medicinal knowledge and western science) has a central role in achieving sustainability in terms of explaining impacts upon the environment and identifying ways in which we can mitigate environmental damage enabling us to live more sustainably. This includes both the application of new technologies as well as giving greater attention to non-western knowledge and practices. Science also plays a part in explaining the interconnectedness of people and the environment, nature and natural resource use. However, environmental justice and sustainability cannot be achieved with science alone and it is increasingly being recognized that inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives and approaches are essential. Contributions are called for that explore these themes. In particular papers are sought which investigate and question the inter-relationships between the field of science and other disciplines in the environmental context; and which explore the inherent challenges such interconnectedness involves. Papers, presentations, reports and workshops are invited on any of the following indicative themes: Environmental Science and Technology The social nature of technologies: technology and ‘progress’; what counts as technological development? Western science and traditional knowledge: strengths, weaknesses and the pooling of human knowledge and resources. Developing countries and environmental science and technology: the responsibility of the developers towards developing countries; access to alternative technologies Public perceptions of the possibilities and risks offered by technology: Genetic modification, biotechnology and energy production. Sustainable infrastructure, green construction and sustainable cities Achieving environmental justice in the context of climate change Integrating science with other disciplines: challenges and opportunities for inter- and multi-disciplinary research and collaboration c Citizenship and Sustainability Ensuring good environmental governance: the role of law and policy at the global, regional, national and local levels. Public participation and environmental science: engaging citizens in the processes of achieving sustainability through the design and implementation of technologies. The role of civil society: communities taking responsibility for the local environment Corporate social responsibility: ensuring transparency and accountability in a globalised world. The role of NGOs: raising awareness and working on the ground to achieve positive environmental and sustainability outcomes. The role and place of environmental protest: forms of resistance to new technologies, their significance and impact. The Steering Group welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 15th January 2010. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 28th May 2010. 300 word abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following information and in this order: a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d) title of abstract, e) body of abstract. Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain from using footnotes and any special formatting, characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline). We acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply from us in a week you should assume we did not receive your proposal; it might be lost in cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an alternative electronic route or resend.
