Claudius.
Claudius was born August 10 BC a to 13 October AD 54. He was an emperor form 41 to 54. He had two older siblings Germanicus and Livlla. Claudius worked on his history with the civil wars. His mother and grandmother put a stop to it.
Claudius took several steps to legamtize his rule against potential usurpers. He adopted the name Caesar and the name still carried great weight with the populace but then he dropped it and went with Nero. He had switched his name plenty of times before he actually decided on one. He was the first Emperor who resorted to bribery which means to secure army loyalty.He remained grateful and issuing coins with tributes.
In 43, Claudius sent Aulus Plautius with four legions to Britian. Britons were used in the capture of Cmaulodnum. The Senate granted him a trimph fo rhis efforts . Britian was an attarctive target for Rome. It was attractive because of it's wealth.
Suetonius said that Cladius was extraordinarily fond of games. When Claudius had power he instituted games to be held in honor of his father.Claudius fought a killer whale which was trapped in the harbor and Piny the Elder was there to witness it. He rebilt Pompey's Theaer after the fire had destroyed it.
Claudius was murdered by poison which ws eather on a feather or a mushroom. Some also say that hsi doctor was the reasoning fo rhis death he was known for doing this to people. After his death amny changes were done to rome. Claudius' temple was left unfnished after only some of hte foundation had been laid down which was eventually the site was overtaen by Nero's Golden Horse. He made a real difference in Rome after his death.

Education week.
I will be doing Mexico on my International Education Week. Their education is just about the same as ours. They have a High School, Junior High and a Primary school. Primary Schools go from first grade to sixth grade. The ages are usually six to twelve. Half a day is spent in Spanish and the other half of a day in either English or French. Junior High School "middle school". Junior High is grades seventh through nineth. Ages twelve through fifteen and they are taught Physics, Chemistery and World History. High School is grades tenth through twelveth ages fifteen through eighteen. It consists three years of education, divided into six semesters. In those six semesters they do Physical Sciences ( electricty, chemistery, biology) or Social Sciences ( commerce, philosophy, law). The term preparatonoa is most commonly used for institutions that offer a three year education program that "prepares" the student with a general knowledge to contiue studying at a university. Higher Education usually follows the United States education model. So their collages or univerites are just like ours. They have to have a four year bacholor degree, two year masters degree and a three year doctoral degree. Undergraduate studies normally last four years. They do creidts like they do here. You have to have four creidts of English, three math creidts,three social studies, one physical education,one communication creidt and eight elective units.Their grading scale is about the same depending in how the teacher likes to grade is how the use it. 10 is excellent, 9 very good, 8 good, 7 average, 6 sufficient and 0-5.9 is pretty much a fail. But other teachers may like the grading scale that we have. There is noing differnt about the way they are taught there than they are here.
