Filibusters are quite the conundrum, a pariah of sorts in the realm of U.S. politics, yet an integral part of our body of government.

All of the teachers I observed had many different ways to manage their classroom. Many of their ways were similar, but there were some differences too. I noticed that the female teachers used songs to get the children from one activity to another while the male teacher went right into the next lesson. All of the teachers welcomed their students as they came into the classroom. Mrs. Pollard sang the hello song to them and Mrs. Kraus did as well. After they welcomed the children, all of the teachers

Critics of the rule claim that it has corrupted and even broken the institution, while proponents claim that the rule is a savior for the minority against unpopular laws instituted by the majority.

noteworthy decisions was to urge Senate to keep the filibuster. A filibuster is something that the Senators use to postpone or delay actions from being made.
