Fewer children are choosing school dinners according to an Ofsted report on food in schools. The number of pupils eating school lunches has fallen in 19 of the 27 schools visited for the survey. The reasons include cost, a lack of choice, a lack of consultation with pupils over the content of menus and pupils' unfamiliarity with some of the food. Most of the pupils in the survey had a good understanding of healthy eating but this seemed to have little bearing on the food they chose to eat at lunch-times.
Why do you think there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners? Do your children take a packed lunch or do they enjoy food provided at school?

Reaction
It is not necessary of there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners. It is necessary that the childeren know what they eat. For a good health i think it is better that they take form their home an packed lunch, because they know than what they. I think also that the pupils have another reasons for don’t chosing school dinners. May be the cost, it is much cheaper to do a packed lunch.

Do children spend too much time watching TV?
A survey of primary school-age children has found that kids spend more of their free time sitting in front of the TV than with their parents. Children would rather watch TV and DVD's, play computer games or play with friends, than read a book or spend time with their families. But with parents working and taking care of domestic chores there isn't always time to arrange family activities.
Reaction: Where Iare Your Responsibility? Parents.....
This is the responsibility of the parents. The parent must wake up, and then the children.
A child is just following his parent behaviour. so it is important that there will be explained with parent how they must handle their children by watching TV. Moreover it not good for the child he spends his time in front of the TV, because he will be ill. More seeing to the screen are not good for his eyes. En the parent must not forget that time is gold.

Points up for speeding liars?
From today, if you're caught by a speed camera and don't say who was behind the wheel you could end up with six points on your licence rather than three. It's to stop people trying to get out of a penalty by claiming they can't remember who was driving. The government says if you've got a good reason for not naming the driver you'll still have a defence, like if your car's been stolen. The clamp down on bad driving also includes a higher maximum fine for careless driving, up from £2,500 to £5,000.
Do you reckon the penalty point increases are fair? Do there need to be fewer speed cameras and more traffic police?

Reaction: Better no speed
If you want live in this life, you must take car of your speeding because it is very dangerous if you did not drive according the law of the government. What I understand form the government is that it is important to make an end to the speeding liars. I think the government is well right. Because the only thing the driver must do is just respect the law of the traffic. There will be better more speed cameras and more traffic police. And about the speed cameras, it is good idea that people get a penalty by claiming. They must learn from them faults.

Pollution and the Agreement
Pollution can be local or widespread; substances dumped into a river will often end up in the sea. Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution. China, United States, Russia, Mexico, and Japan are the world leaders in air pollution emissions; however, Canada is the number two country. Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. To protect the environment from the adverse effects of pollution, many nations worldwide have enacted legislation to regulate various types of pollution as well as to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution. To reduce the effects of the pollution is the United Nation Frame Work Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), (an international treaty on global warming). Countries which ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases. A total of 141 countries have ratified the agreement. Notable exceptions include the United states and Australia, who have signed but not ratified the agreement. The stated reason for the United States not ratifying is the exemption of large emitters of greenhouse gases who are also developing countries, like China and India.
