a lot is that junior and high school teachers, i was a high school teacher for several years in brooklyn, new york, we champion the end of social promotion because we know that kids are not served by being promoted if they don't know their stuff. and so, this is part of the why teachers always talk about how we don't want to have ineffective teachers serving with us and ultimately the union has tried to figure out ways to help teachers teach. we've also tried to champion things like, you know, the colocation of these kind of services in a school level to make sure kids are disadvantaged can have knew trish brake fast, can have -- nutritious breakfast and after school activities they need. student learning has to be a part of it but it can't be done in crass ways that it's been done right now as a snapshot, a once a year, three hour test, that then, serves as the verdict for a student and for her teacher. >> host: todd, republican's line in hutchinson, minnesota. hi, todd. >> caller: well, hello there. i was wondering, from, from what i see there seems to be, there needs to be a restructu

host: let's go to the independent line in brooklyn, new york. caller: good morning to all of you. i have a comment and question. i know that most people are probably able to judge teachers as inspirational. i don't know if there is any way to teach teacher to be and -- inspirational but every student -- and a perceptive student knows who the good teachers were and that the teachers were. i don't know pouring money to the educational system has anything to do with making a teacher good or bad. what is your opinion? guest: let me take it personally from my teaching experience. i was a far better teacher my third year than my first year. i may have had a lot of energy in my first year but i did not have the experience and the practice. this is our craft which is complicated and sophisticated because we are trying to -- it is not just about our love of kids which is very important but it is also about our knowledge of the content area and about our ability to transmit information, ask questions, differentiate instruction with kids. many of those skills we can learn of the course of ti

brooklyn, please go ahead. >> caller: thank you. mr. johnson, i'm glad you brought up this issue. i read churchill's experiences, his version of won't wear one. i have to question. the first one about him. the second one about writing history. so according to his writings, his initial idea was to force them by naval assets, and to bomb istanbul and forced turkey out of the war. the idea of an insidious assault, i didn't think was his idea. and i'm wondering whether not you could shed some light about his responsibility with respect to the armed amphibious assault. >> and you had a second question? >> caller: the second question is regarding howard zinn's view, book on the people's history of the united states. he has a point of view, a clear point of view of how he writes his history. and what i'm wondering is with respect to historians, should they and can they minimize this aspect in the writing? thank you. >> the answer to those two questions are as follows. the first question, i don't want to go into the details of the lepley, but there is a general principle here. churchill d

this would have been like using the brooklyn navy yard to construct boats for germany circa 1935. this is why 7 million jobs have disappeared and the "wall street journal" says they'll never come back. if we had a reasonable trade policy, i'm not talking bay approximatist trade policy, the foreign markets be as open as ours. the jobs would reappear, people could earn a-year and the liberty would be secure. they say we can't challenge china now because they hold our bonds. if we keep on this package, where will we be -- path, where will we be in five years? not a nice place. there are insidious things going on in washington, for example, with health care. for all of the things that betsy went through, think about one of the emotion basically elements of this most basic elements of this bill, it requires you because you breathe air in the united states to buy a health plan or be taxed. there anything more insidious than a poll tax that is a poll tax? is there anything more insidious than that? but listen to obama talk. listen to him talk. like elmer gentry going across the plains pr

brooklyn, new york, derek, democrats line. caller: i was calling about a comment made earlier.ountry before and the constitution was written and in your humble opinion was not considered because the country was going to be built on slavery, the terrorism of slavery and humanitarian atrocities? guest: it goes without saying the point that goes without saying is that slavery existed and washington was a slave owner, jeffrey was a slave owner. you could go on and on how many of the so-called founders were. and slavery was an issue they did not want to grapple with. i was talking about a man named charles thompson, i said he got sworn in -- one washington became the first president of the was no role for thompson and washington's first administration because thompson wanted to abolish slavery and everybody said, no, no, you want to open up a can of worms. we are keeping the institution of slavery alive. in that regard, the caller is correct. washington was the best of the people that were possible given the economic and social and political conditions in which people operated under

this would of been like using the brooklyn navy yard to construct votes for germany circa 1935. -- totruct boats for germany circa 1935. if we had a reasonable trade policy, and i'm not talking protectionist but a policy that requires the far and michaels -- the foreign market be as reciprocal and open as ours, those jobs could reappear, people could earn a living, and are never these would be secure. we cannot challenge china because they hold our bonds. if we keep on this path, where will we be in five years? the answer is not in a very good place. one of the more insidious things i see going on in washington -- for example, health care. for all the things that betsy went through, think about one of the most basic elements of this bill. it requires you, because you breathe air in the united states, to buy a health plan or be taxed. is there anything more insidious than a poll tax? that is a poll tax. is there anything more insidious than that? but listen to obama atoll -- talk, like elmer gantry, promising to open salvation. he has promised us hope and prosperity. this into hentoff.

host: christopher in brooklyn.king it a purely political matter. mickey mantle received a liver transplant after being a lifelong paulick and being well into his 70's -- lifelong chocoholialchoholic and being wo his 70's. that cannot be a rational decision. who pays? we all look to retirement. we do have things like medical payment accounts that allow people to defer medical costs in society that they would otherwise incur. i will take my answer off the air. guest: first of all, i agree that we do not want to remove insurance professionals from the decision making process, and especially the agent community -- the aging community. one advantage of having those exchanges is that those will also be available for your local insurance agent to assist u.n. to your agent in making -- to assist you and your agent in making comparative shopping decisions. we do not want to remove insurance professionals from this part of the equation. things like liver transplants, there are things like tumor registries and boards that mak

at a time when the dodgers were still in brooklyn, and the giants in new york, he correctly thought thealance of power between the east coast and the west was finally tilting towards the pacific. he writes, california indeed stand a chance to achieve through the films and utterance of our own, will this land furthest west be the first to capture the inner spirit of this newest and most curious of the arts? lacey realizes how much is at (accucapnt trial version) stake in the question whether one locale will dominate the movie business. he talks about the long-standing dominance of boston and american culture. patriotic art students he rides have discussed with mingled irony an aberration the boston domination of the only american culture of the 19th century, namely literature. boston still controls the textbook in english and dominates our high school. lindsay wants to see the cultural domination of boston broken. some of us view with a peculiar thrill the prospect that los (accucapnt trial version) angeles may become the boston of the photoplay. in retrospect, we can see that lindsay wa
