Today’s round table discussion was an interesting one. However, I cannot forget the video we watched about passing a bill. One can only imagine the stress and sleepless night one has to go through to have a bill pass as a law. I decided to research on the National School Lunch Program because I wanted to find out why it is such a successful program. My country tried to implement such a program but failed miserably. I found that such a program requires dedication and discipline. I have realized that when it comes to the children of America, politics is put aside. This has been the down fall of my country’s initiative to implement school lunch program.
Listening to my class mates presents their findings, one thing comes to mind, dedication by the people of America to ease the plight of their fellow citizens through programs that are monitored and implemented effectively.
I believe all the policies that had lead to these programs are in the right directions and I hope that as the years go by and these programs go through amendments, the mission statements that propagates these programs will not be forgotten.

I was absent from last Thursday’s class. I had to attend my sis-in-law’s graduation in Pittsburgh. One may wonder why graduation on a Thursday. Well, each faculty has its own graduation time. I guess the class completed the discussion on the rest of the program. I am glad each class member had to send copies to class members. I missed Bryant Terry’s talk and will take time on Tuesday to find out from class mates about what transpired.

Our country has the similar program on school lunch, but it does not run as well as American due to huge of people and the imbalance of source and money.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you shouldn't miss Bryant Terry's talk, which is really wonderful. I learned from students' blogs and I think you can get some idea from there also.
