Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

As if this weren't already blatantly obvious.

"We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society." - Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism

Some may willingly refuse to look at reality for what it is, but the dregs of society are now on the inside, and they know better than .. you.

A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

Time To Lift That School Cap.

"Every child learns differently."

This is the underlying message you will hear quite often from those who are a part of, or advocate charter schools. The message simply stating that more choice means that more parents and children will have more options, and the opportunity to fully engage in the learning process. It means they will be better prepared, and have the best chance to succeed ultimately.

The public schools as mandated currently, are a trap. With a singular model (for the most part) that relies on the MEA and the NEA and union literature to determine educational materials, and streamline a single path of learning that robs children of their chances to succeed.

And it doesn't have to be that way.

As it was related to me by an operator of a school up here, the teachers in some of the charter schools are actually re-trained from the public school model, and provisioned with the ability to identify particular learning traits in the children. Some kids respond to different types of education styles both positively and negatively. As there is no doubt we all have different things that inspire us, it should be no surprise that learning can be enhanced by discovering that which holds the students attention longer. New Options equal New Opportunities.

For Michigan, there is hope with SB618. It is a bill which allows the creation and operation of new charter schools, and opens the doors to new cyber school possibilities. It creates new options for both private and public education interests.

Its a chance to move the bar upward, and offer the benefits of competitive advantage to our kids.

And by golly even some on the lefty side of the fence get it. (BELOW)
