I think that ranking can be a very ineffective way of looking at teachers. The teachers can’t make a kid learn no matter how hard they tried. In all my classes I have I notice that some students no matter what the punishment is they still don’t try. Also there are teachers out there who really are bad teachers. I have some teachers who couldn’t teach me if their lives dependent on it. I know one teacher whose will not be name had about 15 kids fail their exam. That’s a lot of kids.  In my personal opinion it can go either way. It could be the teacher fault or it can be the students fault. I think the teacher shouldn’t be held responsible if a student doesn’t decide to do their homework. I believe that teachers should be rank but if they do poorly in the ranking that the school should look deeper into the reason why the teacher was rank so poorly. To see if it really was the teachers fault for the poor ranking or is it because they have a bunch of lazy students who aren’t willing to put the effort forward. This is a very difficult thing to decide on. I know teachers don’t want to be blame for a student who hasn’t tried at all. Yet again a student parents doesn’t want to hear that it’s their child fault that their doing so badly. I think some parents need to learn that their children aren’t little perfect angles at school. I know some parents who if their child is doing badly they immediately blame the teacher or a child blames the teacher so they won’t get in trouble. It is unfair to blame teacher immediately without any proof. I think we should find a new system to take all of these things into consideration.

p group 4 choice again

Today I had a lovely chemistry test to study for today. I spent not only yesterday during advisement studying but also last night and today’s advisement. I’m not feeling that I did such a great job. I do feel slightly better that I’m not the only one who did a not so great job. I feel so excited that I get to go to the mall after school today. My mother and I were going to go Monday but the weather was just too horrible to be going anywhere. Then yesterday the weather yet again wasn’t shopping weather. I’m hope I can find something I want at the Mckinley Mall. This mall has way more stores and more stuff then the Eastern Hills Mall. I can’t believe I have only 30 something more days left of school before it’s over. Today in Chemistry Lab we were talking about it. The fact that there is a good chance we may never see at least half of the people in our grade again. Not saying that such a horrible thing but it feels so unrealistic. I remember being a freshman and thinking this is going be such a long time here. Now looking back it seems time has just flew by me. Next year were going be seniors. I feel like I’m still too young to even be considered a senior. Then I’ll be going to college. I don’t think college will be that bad despite the price. I mean people have been talking about scholarships since beginning of year and what school has to offer. I feel like I’m so far behind I can never catch up. Hopefully that feeling will past during the summer. If not then senior year is going to be a very stressful year for me then.

p group 5 choice

Katie I love your single clap after Mr. Currin Speech. Also Amber B. is my hero of the day. With moving the Brian S. sign to a different locker was classic. That just made my day. I got my chemistry test back today the only good news is it is around the class average. I can’t wait to go home. I love this class and all but it is Friday. I just want to go home at this point. Then even when I do get home I will still have to go to work at 5:30. I don’t hate working. It is fun to work and earn money. Then after I get home I finally get too see my dad who I haven’t seen in two weeks. He has been gone on a business trip down south. He is only going be home for a week and then he will be leaving again. I don’t have a lot of homework this weekend. I have some math homework like usual. Then some chemistry but it isn’t that hard. I finish all my English homework except the message board post I have to do today. I don’t have anything to do this weekend that I know of except my driving lesson.  I am starting to get annoy by Rudy. It is rude to go around spreading rumors about people. It really hurts people by claiming that they are pregnant when they aren’t. I mean were all in high school it is time to grow up just a little. I am happy that we have 7 days till prom. I hope it is as fun as everyone say it is. Today we had play softball in the snow. We were all freezing and Mr. Carll finally gave in and let us go in and play on Xbox.

o grpup 3 JUNIORS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I admit has been very good day. Not only has it gone bye really fast but now we only have 2 days till spring break. I can’t wait for spring break. My mom and I are going shopping this Friday because she has the day off too. We still need find a big enough purse for prom. That’s basically what left I need for prom. I’m so happy prom is only 55 dollars. I don’t understand why some people keep saying how expensive it is. A few years ago it was 85 dollars we should be happy it’s only 55 dollars. What would you rather have a cheap 20 dollar prom in the gym or at Salvatore’s with more expensive price tag. My older sister who went to pioneer had all her proms in the gym and it wasn’t fun at all. So either choose to go or not that’s your choose. A sensible person may have not drops tons money on extra stuff like a limo or dress. It amazes be when a girl who got 300 dollar dress complain about the price for prom. Oh my god. Mr. Currin just announces we are going change seats.  The only reason why I get my work done at somewhat good quality is because of Katie. With her gone my grades will drop faster than a nuclear bomb. 20 minutes later. Mr. Currin let me still sit next to Katie. Thank your Mr. Currin for keeping us together because if you didn’t these last few months will be hell and since I’m going to have you next year I would of made it hell too. It feels weird to sit back in our old corner that we use to seat in last year. I miss last year class a lot but I like this year class.  Oh and junior class rocks!!!!

o group 2 college yes or no???????????

College I admit isn’t for everyone but there are other programs that people can take to get an education on something they want to do. I know that many people are considering not going to college because of the cost and everything. I do however believe they will regret that after becoming and adult and living off of minimum wage. I also know these kids who plan on going to these colleges that cost a lot. I think that is a really big mistake unless you got some amazing scholarship or your parents can afford it. So many young adults leave college deep in debt and with no way to pay it off. I think we all have some idea what we can afford for college and what we can’t. As hard as it is some people may want to consider taking a job while there in college, as unpleasant that sounds things could be so much worst. I plan on going to community college for first two years. Why, because that is what my parents can afford. I have no problem with that. I think it is a little silly to be a shame of going to community college. I mean think of these kids who go some expensive school they can’t afford and have to be constantly stress about the money. I hope all the seniors at this school have enough common sense when going to college and what career they should chose. I understand some people wish to go to school for art and music but you have to realize that those aren’t in high demand. What is worse leaving college with tons of debt and can’t get a job because you pick a bad career or leaving college with tons of debt with a career where you can get a job instantly.

o group I disagree

The article I read is from http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/05/justice/connecticut-death-penalty-vote/index.html?hpt=ju_c1. I am so shock that I haven’t heard of this before. My dad likes to watch the news so I usually pretty updated all the time. I think throwing out the death penalty will be one of the biggest mistakes this state can make. The jails are filling up with rapist, killers, and drug dealers. Now we are going keep these people alive because it is wrong to kill them. No what isn’t right was these people who go out and take an innocent life from this world. Not only that they ruin the friends and families lives as well. How would you feel if your brother, mother, or daughter was killed and they let the person walk after serving 20 years in prison. We have the best prisons here in this country. Seriously are these people even being punish anymore? They get a roof over their head and food, to me that doesn’t sound like punishment at all. Now after 20 years in jail they will go out and destroy someone else futures. Guess what the people who are lucky enough to survive being rape or being shot are traumatize for rest of their lives. They can’t eat, sleep, or even work. All they can think about is if it will happen again. This person life is ruin and it is miracle too me that people like Elizabeth Smart can get their lives back together. Not everyone is strong as her, also what about that year of her life that she will never get back. No amount of money, jewelry or attention can give her that time back. Why should another mother have cry at night not knowing where her child is? Why should another criminal get to sit in jail for few years and go back out their again? Remember Connecticut senate when another guy walks away from prison the chance of him ruining someone else life.  

n group 4 my interview

Who is Zach Miner some people may ask? Some people just look at him as the dude who Mr.Currin likes yell at a lot. But beneath the surface there is much more to Zach Miner then meets the eye. I was lucky enough to get to interview him. My first question to him was what do you plan on doing for your future career. Miner says he plans on being NFL analysis or doing something with medicine. The next question to him was do you want to go to college, if so where? He said that he plans to go to Ohio State because it has great tradition and it’s my favorite college.  We also talk about what his favorite activity to do. He said his favorite active to do is playing football with his family or just hanging out with his family.  We then discuss what his favorite subject is. He said he likes global because it’s interesting learning about the past.  The last question I asked Miner had a very interesting response to it. I asked Miner who his best friend was. He then proceeds to look around the room till his eyes landed on Austin Hopcia and then he asked Hopcia if he was his best friend.  Austin responded with a yeah. When I asked why and all Miner had to say was I don’t know. Know I all hope that instead of looking at Miner as the troubling maker kid in Online Publishing you look at him and realize he is a regular person just like you and me. Now I all hope that everyone in this class will try and make an attempt to know Miner all on your own. I believe it will be worth you while to try and befriend Miner. You never know what could happen.
