Do: Discussion Board Module 11 (Pre- and post-replies)

  1. After completing Module 10, begin Module 11 by offering your first thoughts to one (1) of the questions in the next module.  No preparation is needed, and you automatically earn 2 points.
  2. After completing Module 11, read through the pre-learning thoughts of your classmates and help a classmate in another group expand on those thoughts.  Earn up to an additional 8 points by using assigned materials to build out those pre-learning thoughts and arrive at a well-developed answer. Include page references from Common Sense Economics (2010) and a reference to an assigned video or podcast to support your work in order to earn full credit.
  3. The questions follow. (Please copy and paste the question into your reply.  It makes grading easier; thanks!)
  • Last names beginning with A-M:  Consider the situation where students must attend the school in the zone where they live, regardless of quality.  Compare that to a situation where students and parents choose which school to attend and the government funding follows them.  Which arrangement do you think will best serve the interests of students?  Explain. 
  • Last names beginning with N-Z:  Many governments around the world confront a problem of excessive debt.  What constitutional change would you recommend to deal with this problem?  Explain.
