If you had three things you could change about the school--what would they be and why? How would these changes help to make the school a better place?

Those annoying people that disrupt us in class, at assemblies, in the cafeteria. We hear the cursing, complaining, talking and are generally annoyed by their behavior. What should we do? What do you wish you could do? Who is tired of being around those that still can't seem to understand, this isn't middle school!

Parents. There are many things you would like to say to them or wish they knew about, but you never seem to get around to voicing it. Here is your chance--write a Dear Parent letter.

Birth Control

There has been some debate in the state as to whether or not birth control should be made available to middle school students without parental consent. What do you think?

Teen Issues and Propaganda??

kbeardss — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 20:38:00 GMT

Title: Teen Issues: Propaganda or Useful Information? Content:

On Tuesday the Seniors were required to watch a teen issues video relating to drinking and driving. The video was sponsored by the National Guard, and the first ten minutes or so were devoted to praising freedom and the military that grants us our freedom. This information did not relate to alcohol abuse in any way. Students were told that watching the video was mandatory and, in fact, part of the curriculum. What does everyone think? Was this unnecessary military propaganda or a perfectly reasonable approach to teen issues?
