Should hunting animals be taught in schools?
I just read an interesting (and, to me, disturbing) article in NYTimes online: “To Revive Hunting, States Turn to the Classroom” by Ian Urbina. Here’s an excerpt:
“Hunting is on the decline across the nation as participation has fallen over the last three decades, and states have begun trying to bolster this rural tradition by attracting new and younger people to the sport.
In West Virginia, state lawmakers gave final approval on Friday to a bill that allows hunting education classes in all schools where at least 20 students express interest. The goal is to reverse a 20 percent drop in hunting permits purchased over the last decade, which has caused a loss of more than $1.5 million in state revenue over that period. At least six other states are considering similar legislation.”
Your thoughts?
i live in West Virginia and I think that teaching hunting in the classrooms is ridiculous. The reason for the drop in permits is because they kept raising the price every year not because people didn’t want to go hunting.

Developing and Sustaining Online Education $101.96 The rush to transition education from the traditional facetoface to an online or hybrid environment increases each year. Universities realize online education is crucial to the future survival and expansion of their educational programs. Herein we discuss the infrastructure support that is vital to the foundation of a durable online program. The essentials include faculty training and mentoring, a campus network, secure access, data storage, fast and efficient IT support, and the appropriate type of technology for teaching. A crucial element is administrative support in the form of funding, guidance, oversight, and the removal of obstacles to the development of an online program. Faculty were surveyed to identify: a) perceptions of what elements are important to the development of a successful online program; b) which of those elements were in use at their institution; c) factors that enhance faculty participation in an online program, and the factors which impede their contribution. A Matrix is introduced that administrative decision makers can use to develop an online teaching program or enhance an existing program.
