Technology

Technology.
I think that generally technology in the classroom helps many students. But since I'm not them, and I haven't taken an official survey, I don't think I can speak for them. Me personally I think It's good,- in moderation. Some classes ( CRT prep for instance) just have kids working on the computer the whole time, and the teacher doesn't do anything. I think that there is no substitute for a living, breathing teacher. I also think that while computers, T.V etc can be helpful, too much kills your brain. I know that in most jobs that you have to be on the computer most of the time, but I personally start feeling dizzy and weird after two hours on the computer. I also hope in the future there will still be books (Paper and cover) and not just all on the computer. That would kill me! But, I think good computer programs that teach in a way that we can understand are great. so overall, I think computers are good as a tool, but not as a substitute for teachers.

Teachers you get along with

I have had many teachers over the years. Some have been great, some have been good and some have been bad. I have found that it's hard to get a great teacher. Most of the time you ethier get a good or bad one with a 40% chance of etheir a good or bad and a 20% chance of a great one. My favorite teachers are the ones that teach me while having fun at the same time. I really don't like teachers that just give out worksheets and lecture all day. I like it when the students are more involved.

honesty

I think honesty is a very important thing. When people aren't honest they can cause confusion. Many people are not honest because it is easier to lie. All the time people say "little" lies that they think won't hurt anyone, but they really do. I don't want to share a personal story about someone being dishonest, because they might not want me to. But all the same everything is a lot better if people are honest.

It's the End of the World As We Know It.

Ah! Help! It's the end of the world! What food will I get at the store? What, I only get one item? CURSES! What shall I get? Protein drinks! No, wait gross. Milk! Lots of protein! Wait, it's turned lumpy. hmmmmm....I know! I'll have steak. Yes, glorious steak. Great, only one left. It's a 20 oz. top sirloin! Yay! (drags beef into cart). Ooooooo! I'm so pumped for this steak. I can share it with all my family and freinds. "I'm home!" "what you get?" "Steak!" "Yay!" Ooooo, this is delicious.... tastes like locust. I wonder where the cow lived? Probobly egypt. Hmmmm, I wish i could have steak every day. Wait, this is our last day. NOOOOOO! I can't live without steak! Wait, I'll be dead, so I really won't....

Super Power

If I had "The power of persuasion" what would I do? I don't know. I would use it, yes but I don't really know how. I do know that if i had the power it would come in handy. I would probably use it to get things that i wanted like presents and stuff. But that could be very dishonest and would come with a price. Now that I think about it it would be a very dangerous thing to have in the wrong hands. If you could persuade anyone, you could almost do anything. You could be a freaking good politician. Yeah, I'm glad no one really has the power to persuade you no matter what. But, there are people out there that are so good at persuading that they might as well be a super hero ( or a super villain). That's what we are gonna learn about next huh? Well, ok.

Hiding something
Sometimes because of pride or ego or a mistaken idea, one person may not confide in another or tell them the whole truth. Have you ever been in a situation in which you didn’t want the other person to know something about you? You had something you wanted to keep secret? How did you act? Did the other person realize you were hiding something? How did your behavior change the way they acted toward you?

Well, I have definitly hidden something before, but right at the moment I can't think of anything specific that I have hidden. People usually do try to guess what I'm hiding when I'm hiding something though. Usually something like a Christmas presents contents or something like that. I'm not very good under pressure so sometimes I crack or give away little hints on accident. But when the secret is really important I'm usually pretty good. Sometimes I forget the thing is a secret so I let it slip. That can be very, very bad. I have had that happen on one or two occasions and it has not been pretty. I don't like secrets.

Spooky!
My least favorite Halloween costumes were a baboon and a pumpkin. The baboon, I think we got from a thrift shop and it was kind of embarrassing (especially around the hindquarters). I hated the pumpkin. It was just very big and orange and made me look fat. I wore pumpkin sox and crazy shoes. My favorite costume was a milk carton. That year I couldn't find a costume until the Day of. Our neighbors loaned it to us. It was just a big cardboard box that looked like a milk carton. I'm not a very big fan of Halloween because I can't eat all the candy so it's kind of pointless. I like carving pumpkins though. I don't think I'm going to dress up this year. Maybe I'll be swine flu.
