Am I reading this correctly? Our children are working behind the scene and you want the "behind the scene" parents to make props and volunteer our time for a performance where we will never see our children take the stage? Do you really think that you should be asking the 21 moms who will see their child the least for the most help? If a more inclusive play had been chosen then I'd be more than willing but this play highlights a few and leaves way too many on the sidelines. Having 21…

The benefits of studying are…

The nerves in my legs were shackling at every moment I saw the teacher walk by me in the classroom. I could feel my breath getting heavier and heavier. I looked up and the teacher said “Everyone focus on your test paper or it will not be marked”, then proceeded to write my test. All the answers were written on my hand and my eraser. Two weeks earlier before this dreaded moment, I was locked up in my room playing the latest Call of Duty Black Ops game with my friends on my brand new Play Station…

In my opinion as a student, I do think that personal devices should be used in the high school classroom. There are many benefits that come along with the use of those devices, such as not having to carry those heavy books around with you. Another reason why they should use those devices is the fact that children are more motivated when it comes to technology. But with the devices being allowed, there must be rules that the children have to abide by. As a high school student one of my daily…

Entering Michigan, I knew I was going to have a difficult time. However, I was still caught by surprise of the work load and the material I was taking. My main problem was not knowing how to study or know the concepts the instructor is presenting us. Last Semester, In the beginning I had a rough start.

Although I would love to have these policies, I do know that those policies would ultimately set me up for failure in the future. So I have to agree with Phil on this one. This is taking it too far, when it comes to being a nice teacher. I'm a student that stays up late studying, goes in after class for extra help if needed,…

Kids nowadays are staying up late and not getting enough sleep at night and get sick. They also do not drink enough fluids during the day to help them not get a cold and stay hydrated. The drinking fountains that we have are old and nasty from all the objects that have been put in there over time. With more drinking fountains in the hallways the more time students have to get all of our items and get to class on time. As a student from East Jordan High School I would know the problems with our…

As I was trying to recover from this surgery, I was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It has been a difficult journey; however, my unwavering determination has helped me continue to move forward. It was my second…

I woke up to my alarm going off at around 7:30 to the smell of eggs and bacon as my mom was cooking me breakfast. She never does this for me, but she knew today was the big day. It was the first JV golf tournament of the year. I have been waiting all school year for this special day as me and my buddies go out and just destroy the other JV golf teams. I did not even want to go to school today as I had to focus on not hitting the ball out of bounds on every hit. See I am not the greatest golfer…
