Why do we allow ourselves to live in a world with criminals, why are children that are allowed to corrupt our society over and over again, why do we send them somewhere that doesn’t help them help us? There is a continuous argument about trying children as adults, and that argument could last forever until […]

Should Students Have Open Campus Lunch Periods? Should students have open campus lunch periods? What that means is students could be able to go anywhere they would want to go. Some middle schools and high schools let them go. I think that they should because it gives them a break of school. The first argument […]

Bennie is sitting at his desk, bored and depressed… once again. He is staring at the clock in front of him, waiting for it to move. He had a pile of homework in front of him but he wasn’t willing to do them. Too useless, too much he thought. If only there wasn’t any homework, […]

For four years during high school, we learn the principles of science and math. How to solve for x in a polynomial equation. But as a volunteer engineer for a manufacturing factory during my sophomore year, I found that the typical high school curriculum is just not enough to prepare students for the real world. […]

Do you sometimes wish that life would just stop? I’ve always dreamed of owning a magical remote control that can start and stop the flow of time, like that guy in the movie “Click.” (Now, I’ve never actually seen the movie, so I can’t say if that turned out well for him.) Maybe it’s just […]

What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of you fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release a whooping 25 million were sold!

Treat everyone the same. Don’t judge people on the way they look or where they came from. Isn’t that what we have been taught our whole lives? So why are colleges using affirmative action to “level the playing field” for minorities? Martin Luther King Jr. preached repeatedly for the equality of races and the extinction […]

For the past few weeks, today being August 11, the talk throughout, well, practically everywhere for teens has been school. Especially incoming freshmen such as myself have been buzzing with excitement, anxiety, and nerves. A new era of our lives is about to begin and it is most definitely one that will mold who we […]

“The police PTSD paradox is created by… the fact that we all know that stress can disable or incapacitate us on the job but when that happens to one of our own we defy logic and begin to shun them. Some agencies even do their best to throw those cops away because they feel like […]

Kids all around the world have to deal with this constant problem every day. Homework. Homework, and lots of it. After a seven hour day of a hard, long, and stressful day of doing all of this school work, you have to come home and do even more of it! I thought the point of […]

Although suspension was once considered a positive practice that promoted good behavior, this punishment is often exercised unjustly, reinforcing discrimination against minorities and students with disabilities. A study by the New York Civil Liberties Union showed that about 450,000 suspensions […]

Grading papers Should student grade papers? No they should not. It is not fair for kids doing teachers work. We already have 4 hours of homework we already go to school for 6 hours a day. Why do we have to do teachers work? One supporting evidence is that “Harvey Erikson” says no why? Because […]

Every school has a dress code, some dress codes require all students to wear a school uniform. Others do not. Unfortunately,my school does not have a dress code that requires all students to wear a uniform. Honestly, students will get higher grades on their exams and, there will be less bullying. Most students are bullied […]

I regard my elementary school days fondly—playing on the swings at recess, dressing up for holiday parties, field days, and playing upbeat games in gym class rather than physical exertion. Those were the days when the only pain I felt was tripping on the sidewalk and scraping my knee, and the only decision I had […]

A writer is? How can a writer be just one thing? A writer can be thought of as a warrior. His pen his shield that is used to protect from harm while his words are his sword that is used to cut down his foes. His words can lead to the start of something such […]

She doubts herself quite often she always hopes for the best balance is a term she hasn’t gotten used to quite yet. This sentence is the closest I can get to explaining myself. This sentence is a reflection of my academic progress and social life. This sentence is mine. I doubt my abilities and skills […]

In school, everyone strives to be popular. to be liked by everyone. but why? So you can be involved; in all the drama of being popular. So you can have amazing friends; the fake kind. So you can go to sick parties; where you drink and get high. So you have someone to tell your […]

There is this boy in my class, let’s call him, Beaver, and everyday a small group of guys finds a way to put him down. I don’t know if they do it meanly or without much purpose but it always makes me wonder; what kind of world do I live in? This poor kid is […]

There are many difficulties in going to school. Buying the right supplies, getting up early, and let’s not mention all of the work you have to keep up with. The last thing that some child needs is to be teased about what they are wearing. I strongly believe that school uniforms should be enforced in […]

Gifted. It’s not a word you’ll hear me use often in reference to myself, at least not in front of other people. Neither is smart or talented. It’s not that I see these words as meaning bad things, but society, especially those near my age, has brought with them connotations such as ‘arrogant,’ ‘genius,’ and […]
