Welcome

Welcome to the learning community designed and managed by Ms. Rita Callahan, instuctor of economics and mathematics. Most of you are current or former students from my classes. I trust you will enjoy this attempt to connect our studies to the real world. From time to time I will make observations on my experiences and things I read. I hope you will comment and add your observations as well.


There is much to learn form others, especially those whose experiences may differ from our own. As I mention elsewhere in this blog, this is my attempt to incorporate 21st century learning formats into the educational experience of my students. Perhaps this will invite some interesting discussions.

Let's Take Back Our Government

On the eve of our 2012 national elections, I am getting somewhat political from an economic perspective.

I found thishttp://www.sherrodbrown.com/petition/overturn-citizens-united-a2/ link to sign a petition for a constitutional ammendment.  We need to make it clear to the Supreme Court that as human citizens, we do not want corporations to own Wahington DC and our elected officials!

This is not a partisan topic.  This applies to all areas of our national, state and local governments.  People vote and people should be the supporters of candidates for office, not corporations!  What a slew of normative statements, Ms C.

'I just had to post this opinion since every time I teach economics, I state that we have the best government money can buy.
