McCreary decision: The state of Washington
must provide “ample” funding for public education.
To fulfill this mandate, the state is requiring stipulations from each district and, in turn, each school to “qualify” for these funds.
NCLB: No Child Left Behind will be in full compliance
Districts/Schools will not be funded if they do not meet the requirements.

New Grade System?
Consider this new system and answer the following
questions in your journal:1) What benefits does this new system create? Who
benefits?
2) What problems will the new system create? Who will be negatively impacted?
3) What do you think would happen to student motivation, production, and quality of assignments? Why?
4) Do you want this system to be implemented?
New Classroom System?
Write down something you want to buy
How much does it cost? (approximate) How would you get the money to buy it? What is the connection between money and labor (work)? Who owns your labor? In an ideal setting, if you work harder what will you get? If you get more money, what can you do with it? If you use the money to buy stuff, who gets to keep that
stuff? Do you want to be rich? Why? How do you get rich? So why do people work? Does desire for wealth motivate you (or people) to work?
What Economic System Is This?
Capitalism
Individuals Hire workers Decide on
production Realize a Profit Own their labor

Capitalism in the Industrial Revolution
KARL MARX THOUGHT THE INEQUALITY OF CAPITALISM WAS
VERY BAD…
MARX BELIEVED THAT THE CAUSE OF CLASS STRUGGLES WAS THE HAVES AGAINST THE HAVE-NOTS
OR, IN HIS WORDS…
THE BOURGEOISIE (FACTORY OWNERS/WEALTHY)
VERSUS
THE PROLETARIAT (FACTORY WORKERS)
•Private ownership of land
•Freedom of competition
•Results in unequal economic classes
•Upper class and working class struggle over wealth
•Tokens given out unequally •A few students had more tokens than the rest•Competition in the form of the game itself
•Those with few or no tokens have hard time acquiring more •Only a few students were able to prosper during the game
•Working class carries out plan to overtake upper class
• Gov’t owns industry•Goal is to bring economic equality and a classless society
•Those who did not succeed point out unfairness; want to change game (EVEN AMOUNT OF STARBURST)
•Equal distribution of tokens removes social classes and creates economic equality
MARX WAS A SOCIALIST…
Three Goals of Socialism:
1. To distribute wealth and economic opportunities equally among people
2. Government controls all major decisions about production (What and how many)
3. Public ownership of land, factories, etc.--Gov’t makes decisions for the
“good of the people”
Capitalism v. Socialism

Socialism
Karl Marx:“Workers of the world,
unite!” Class struggles b/t the
“haves” & the “have-nots”…
Workers will overthrow capitalists (factory owners) in revolution…

*Communism: Goal for classless society, communal ownership of property, no government (Dictatorship of the Proletariat)
