Rants

Rants are going to be a consistent theme across the middle school classes this term.

here are some definitions

Rant:

A loud bombastic declamation expressed with strong emotion


Talk in a noisy, excited or declamatory manner


pompous or pretentious talk or writing


in a gist rants are talking with passion about something we believe in strongly...so lets start a "rant"

post about something that gets you passionate and motivated

example

I love school uniforms they are essential to high level learning.  All school should have a mandatory dress code.  This would create a better learning environment for our schools and produce more respectful young adults.  ( you can rant in response to this or begin your own rant.  be aware that being passionate and motivated does not mean or justify being rude or disrespectful, you still want to demonstrate positive listening skills and dignified responses)

  1. i think that school uniform is mandatory and all schools should have a special type of dress code. uniforms are important to me because it save your time because you always want to wear different clothes everyday and then you waste you time picking which one you are going to wear and if you wear same types of clothes every day maybe your friends or other people are going to make fun of you, but if you have uniforms everyone is the same and no one can make fun of you. this is why dress code is important.

  2. i do not think that we should wear school uniform because then without a uniform you can express yourself more within your clothes. also, sometimes uniforms can be expensive and uncomfortable but without a uniform, you can be more comfortable and not spend as much money every year for them.

  3. I dont think that we need to wear school uniforms because if we can wear whatever we want we can express ourselfs in the way we want to. another reason would be that our parents dont have to worry about what colours or the price for our clothes.

  4. i think that school should have dress codes beacuse it a way that represent the school and people would know you are from that should.also i agree that having dress code is a relife that everday you don't have to worry which clothes to were and you can were the uniform.

  5. I agree with Hitaskshee.
    I think that we should wear uniform because when we wear what ever we want to, we have to buy more clothes because people will make fun of you for wearing the same thing more than once. Not everyone has alot of money to be buying alot of clothes. Uniform is also better because when someone comes to our school or when we go on field trips people the teachers will no who belongs to our school and we will look organized :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. mr.cheney im not sure uniforms would produce more respectful young adults. however school uniforms like hitackshee said save you plenty of time in the morning but can be expensive but its a one time purchase per yer better than buying over the ocurse of the year so im with uniforms

    ReplyDelete
  7. to people against school unifrom you can express your selfs in other way by how you talk what shoes you wear there penty other ways

    ReplyDelete
  8. stephanie i think you funny but don't you think that it would cost more if you bought other clothes to were at school instead of wereing uniforme

    ReplyDelete
  9. zack i agree you can exprees youself in other ways to then express yourself with clothes

    ReplyDelete
  10. I don't think all schools should have uniforms because they can get dirty and you might not have an extra pair at the time and you will still get in trouble for not wearing your uniform. The school might have more bullying and fighting because if thier was a fight going on and the teacher saw the student could get away because hecould blend inwiyh every one else.

    ReplyDelete
  11. @usman everyone looks diffrent i dont think it would be that easy to blend in some peopel r short some are tall eveyones diffrent

    ReplyDelete
  12. i dont think we should wear uniforms ... people say be yourself who cares what people say... uniforms were all the same , wearing uniforms stops us from expressing ourselves, to me uniforms are basically teaching us to be like everyone else...

    ReplyDelete
  13. @el presidente if everyone is diffrent how come we cant express ourselves with our clothes

    ReplyDelete
  14. Its possible but there are plenty other ways to express your self and i think everyones over looking the premier way is your personality why do u need to express your self with clothes when you got it inside of you clothes r cool but its not the best way to express your selfs

    ReplyDelete
  15. i dont think we need to wear school uniforms because its really unnessary.well its not really even uniform but its a "dress code".we have to wear navy blue pants but we dont we wear black ha and i agreee with samii how can we expresss our sleves if we have to wear the same colours and look the same???

    ReplyDelete
  16. great ideas but i contest

    uniforms are indeed much cheaper (go to WalMart basic blue, white, and black school type outfits) an entire outfit cost less then 1 baseball cap

    what makes us unique, special, caring, funny, charming, and on and on is your personality! how you act, talk, and treat people speaks volumes about your personality. Im not going to rely on my clothes to say who I am.

    please respond

    ReplyDelete
  17. @sami, our personalities are all equal...to rely on our clothes puts a great division amongst people. simply because some families can afford to spend more on clothes then others.

    ReplyDelete
  18. @elpresidente it is hard to express yourself with just your shoes sometimes. with no uniform, you can express yourself easier with your clothes and accesories. plus, if everyone is wearing the same or similar things, it gets boring to look at but with no uniform, there is more colour and more fun to look at.it also is not that hard to pick out a different outfit every morning. if it takes too long, you should wake up earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think we don't need to wear uniform it does make it easier for us in the morning but it really doesn't alow us to express your self we can just carry a school id instead

    ReplyDelete
  20. @ alyssa i also said you can use your personality and its not boring if whats underneath the shirt the colour isnt boring dont you think

    ReplyDelete
  21. i agree with Alyssa who would look at your shoes

    ReplyDelete
  22. but mr.cheney even our clothes do kinda show us like U wear yankees shirts and hat and that shows us how much u like the yankees!!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. i think wearing uniform is easy, the might be stained really easy depending on the dress code, but when there is no dress code, it always hard choosing what you are going to wear so i would be on both sides

    ReplyDelete
  24. @janat

    we don't have a uniform policy at BHJMS and barely a dress code...I want a strictly enforced uniform policy!

    dont rely on accessories to tell people about you (isnt that judging a book by its cover)

    my rant continues

    ReplyDelete
  25. @mrcheney yes buying uniforms may be cheaper but it is such a hassle to go and buy it every year and try to find the uniform at a store that you like and that fits. but regular clothes shopping is much more fun and you may have to do the same things as uniform shopping but with no uniform, you don't have colour restrictions on the clothes you are looking for

    ReplyDelete
  26. @ elpresidente we always express ourselves by our personality but we also want to by our clothing

    ReplyDelete
  27. @janat...my clothes are an extension of my love of the yankees...but listening to me talk about the yankees is a far greater way to see it

    ReplyDelete
  28. 2sharpshooter read the entire comment!!!!!!! i said shoes r only one way i said ur personality is your premier way to express your way

    ReplyDelete
  29. i just dont like uniforms sure your personality is great and thats the BESTT wayy to express yourself i agree with that for sure but everybody wants a change at a time and you wanna wear what you want to wear ... i injoy being unique but being dressed like everyone else aint being unique ?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I agree that the uniforms are chep mr.cheney but who said that the uniforms are any good they could have the worst quallity around.

    ReplyDelete
  31. i think that we need more funding for sports equipment because atleast 75% of the school play sports and we spend almost all our funds on textbooks when we have enough that are in usable condition when half of our equipment are broken

    ReplyDelete
  32. I don't like how students start following a teacher's example. Why aren't they creative? Can't they use their own minds than make a variation of the examples given to any subject?One example is right now.Mr.Cheney gave the example of wearing school uniform,and I don't see a single post that isn't about uniform for 22 comments,and probably more while I typed this.

    ReplyDelete
  33. ok then why dont teachers have to wear uniform that is soooooooooo not fair , it would have beeen if all the teachers wore it too they get to wear watever they want

    ReplyDelete
  34. if we wear uniforms cheney how come teachers dont ???? that is sooo not fair !!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. That is true you should not rely on your clothes to say who but when we go on trips we always ask if we have to wear uniform and the teachers say yes or sometimes no.so i say uniform should not be alowed as long as we wear apporate clothing.

    ReplyDelete
  36. @alyssa you only have to buy uniforms once a yer most likely colthes shopping is year round

    ReplyDelete
  37. @cheney we can experss our selves by showing your true colours but there should be a rule that says there sould be no explict on the clothing or it may ofend others or will send a bad example for those who visit

    ReplyDelete
  38. SCHOOL UNIFORMS. Whats the deal with that. Kids just wear that couse their parents just want them to look good. Kids don't care couse they know their parents will give them a long lecture full of boring info. Children will just get it dirty and it'll just smell. JUST MORE WORK FOR THE MOMS IN THE WORLD. What's the point. I just don't get it. I know wearing it will tell you that you go to the school for safty. But you never know that a stranger would come in and wear the uniform. I say some days uniforms and mostly free day wearing.

    ReplyDelete
  39. im in more for wearing uniform because the only reason why that we should not wear uniforms its because it expresses the feelings of ours but evreybody wants to express themselves so i'm still stuck

    ReplyDelete
  40. i think school uniforms are not mandatory because everyone looks exactally the same and no one is able to express their individuality sure wearing uniform can stop bullying problems but the school i went to had non uniform and everyone still respected even if someone were to wear the same thing over and over again its all about respect not if u wear a uniform or not.

    ReplyDelete
  41. in response

    Teachers do have a dress code (ask Ms jackson)

    as a gym teacher i obviously wear gym clothes

    lets not assume that students and teachers are directed by the same rules and regulations. Its way to easy to defelct responsibility on what you should be wearing to ask me what I am wearing.

    and Yes Gurinder nobody take on a new rant...how about you go off and Rant and we shall follow...but Im liking this

    and sports gear Thamil??? sports is over hyped, realistically not that many students are that serious at sports...the money should be spent on other things. But Im glad you established a new rant "where should school spend their money"....and takers

    rant on

    ReplyDelete
  42. I really don't like how some people under rate online gaming,but then they go on to the ps3 and start playing online!I don't like hypocrisy,almost hate it,even though I,if not everybody does it.Hypocrisy is always shown as a bad thing,but then it's shown several times the next day.One example I have is when the teachers scream at the students to walk on the right side of the stair case,but then they go on the left.It makes me think if some teachers are just selfish,or are they trying to make their class look good for a promotion,or some other reward for the teacher.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think we shouldnt wear uniform because it is like people trying tot tell us who we are but the way you dress gives out your personality and who you really are.It is like putting on what say you are.{example:}-the school is making me wear uniform because they want me to be the next prime-minister.That is saying you have to be this and forget what you wanted to be.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I agree with people who say we shouldn't wear uniform, we can show our true self instead of wearing the same old boring uniform colours .. we are tired of wearing navy blue, white, and black we want to use the other colours of the rain bow , red,orange,yellow,purple etc. So it is not fair the teachers don't wear uniforms and us the students have to.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I agree with the people that say we should have uniform, because I think that it would help us stay more organized because the time we use to pick what we where tomorrow, we could have packed our bag or finish up homework, and if we pick out clothes in the morning then we could get late because you are using most of your time to pick clothes, and if your wearing uniform, then you wouldn't be excluded because people can't say that your not wearing this color your not welcome here. And wearing uniform means that nobody will feel left out. The main reason for people that are saying we shouldn't have uniform is that we can express our self from what we wear, but that is the main reason your giving where people that agree there should be uniform have many more reasons to say why we should have uniform. And if what their wearing has a rude saying or something offense then it could hurt other peoples feelings, but where there is uniform there is no logos or writing.

    ReplyDelete
  46. You guys seem to think you are wearing uniform??? not even close, check out Smithfield and our surrounding schools if you want to see school uniform.

    How about this argument for uniform - IT BUILDS and SUPPORTS TEAM WORK...the Yankees wear the same clothes, politicians wear the same clothes, fire fighters and policemen wear the same clothes, Doctors and Lawyers wear the same clothes, etc

    coming to the same school everyday and wearing the school colours with pride and a sense of accomplishment (we don't wear uniform class...not 3 people in our class were matching today). Wearing the same uniform should make you proud and feel like we are all working together to build a greater world by educating ourselves and along the way making us better people - together! (of course this argument only works if you like and respect the institution of BHJMS)

    but if you wearing perfect uniform meant I as a gym teacher should wearing matching gear i would do it.

    Gurinder you are making a strong rant...teachers are like everybody else and so if you feel hypocrisy is found everywhere then it is found with teachers. but in terms of the stairs...if students walk on one side of the hall and the teacher walks on the other then they can observe and watch the class and keep it safe far better then if they were to join you on the right hand side.

    Its a tactical point of advantage. The same way at the dance I stand up on the bench rather then at ground level, because I can get a far better view of what is going on, but if a student got up on the bench I would ask them to get down. The reason. Im there in this case to observe and keep it safe, a student doesn't have these responsibilities. Thus to call it hypocritical is perhaps to simplistic (again judging a book by its cover), i do it for a purpose and reason, that students are not aware of or responsible for.

    Keep Ranting...everyone is offering so much to the discussion. There is no wrong answer. Speak from the heart and mind and people will respect it, but not necessarily agreeing with it.

    ReplyDelete
  47. But mr.cheney the people who play sports have no full equipment for example baseball the back catcher chest plate is cotton and its thin so when we play baseball with a baseball and you dont catch the ball it hurts.Then the soccer balls alot of them are ripped up or popped because there cheap we need to buy better ones.We have so much balls but there not good.And what you said we might not need to spend so much money on sports but we cant spend 75% of our money on textbooks.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hey thamil it suppose to hurt if your not strong but for baseball players it doesn't hort much .

    ReplyDelete
  49. atleast the schools that actually wear uniforms it looks nice were what we wear just looks horrible !!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. @ Thamil

    baseball hurts...pads or no pads

    as well 75 basketballs a year are stolen or borrowed and never returned

    same with soccerballs and footballs

    the problem with sports gear is not budget and spending but rather people who take and never return

    principals and gym teachers are consistently frustrated by the amount of gear that is stolen. (we spend $ 500 on sports gear and almost all of it is gone by May)

    its not everybody but there is almost no respect for the gym storage room and its gear.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Its gonna hurt for us cause were younger and alot of people dont work out,the plate protects you from bones breaking but the one we have might not even help against our bones breaking cause its so worn out

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think that we should be able to atleast have dress down days for atleast 2 days a week. Not everyone likes to wear uniform, so it would be better

    ReplyDelete
  53. Another event that is constantly being displayed is this girlfriend and boyfriend affair and matters.Why do people do these things in grade 8? They're not supposed to do this stuff until they're like 20.Are these people after attention,
    or are they just like that? What is wrong with all these people? All it does is slow down grades and whatnot.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Then you guys should get everyone to sign out thee balls and if its lost they have to pay for it

    ReplyDelete
  55. ok then if none of us are matching or barely wearing the same , then WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE TO WEAR A "DRESS CODE" if none of us look alike but mrcheney u chosse what to wear no one is telling you what to wear u chosse to wear "shorts " all the time and is anyone stopping u? no right so then why do we have to wear the same colours?

    ReplyDelete
  56. @thamil thiefs would sign out gear before they took

    ReplyDelete
  57. i think that we should have a school wide vote on if or if not we should wear uniforms because there are people who enjoy uniforms and find it easier to wear but most people like to express themselfs by what they wear by the way im rukiye

    ReplyDelete
  58. And to add to the rant of the example copying,marks are affected by what your content is,and what the quality is.Repeating what the teacher JUST BLOGGED but adding a sentence and mispelling a few words and calling it ''your opinion'' is pathetic.No creativity! I hate it!

    ReplyDelete
  59. the school dances still suck they aren't that very good they have been the same as ever everytime we keep asking fir more editions to the dance better dj most of the moeny is spent on textbooks.

    ReplyDelete
  60. @ Gurinder, how does it bring down grades?

    ReplyDelete
  61. if we dont wear uniform then whats the point of having a dress code????? the dress code we have is dull and boring anyways

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Gurinder its thier life .. do what they want to do .. but very good example and good rant.

    ReplyDelete
  63. no Pamela we should have dress down days for at least 3 days a week so we only have 2 days to wear uniform.I think uniform is so annoying because it is like telling someone that they have to wear this in order for people to know who we want to be if someone wants to be a garbage man you dont have to put a uniform on him or her to make them look fake.I think your telling people who the have to be.Like we shold have the right to express ourself in our own way.

    ReplyDelete
  64. @ Gurinder.. the grades don't come down if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend, it depends on if you want to stay focoused in class and do your work, or you want to talk and not do your work during class.

    ReplyDelete
  65. @gurinder i agree there is this girlfriend/boyfriend matters going on in grade 8!!! it is not nessacery i understand like highschool but your in middle school i beleieve they are after attention !

    ReplyDelete
  66. why do the teachers have cameras looking thier cars what about us the future of canada.

    ReplyDelete
  67. @sharpshooter some of these opinions about the dance are just changed because the induvidual was shot down,REJECTED.Putting in induvidual experiences that aren't mine but are gossip isn't very professional,and it might hurt (HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT(will)).

    ReplyDelete
  68. Mr.Cheney uniforms doesnt build teamwork. People like doctors only wear uniforms so they can identify there eelves as doctors for example if a deaf person or cant talk goes into a hospital and look for a doctor that doesnt have hos uniform it's like a needle in a hay stack

    ReplyDelete

  70. yeah i agree with baliee the dress code is dull and boring it is so dull that i cant think straight!

    ReplyDelete
  71. @ ultima dragovian so what if they are showing off this boyfriend/girlfriend thing so what if they are dong this in grade 8 or have to wait until they are 20 they can do what they want with there life and just because of that it doesn't mean their grade will drop.

    ReplyDelete
  72. @ janat I wear gym clothes because the principal told me I should, not because i want too (although i do like it)

    before i taught gym i wore a shirt and tie everyday...bet ya didnt know

    as well dress code and uniform policy are 2 very different things. I ranted for a uniform policy. we have a dress code please dont assume that the 2 are the same

    ReplyDelete
  73. New sports equipment.
    Sports equipment is very local to our daily school life.The school is always saying there's not enough money in the budget to use to buy the equipment, but some times i see them buying some much new stuff of what we already have; but don't have enough for us. THAT'S BOGUS.

    Anyways the next thing is: uniform!
    Uniform. hey they we need to wear uniform today,but hey nobody wears it any way.
    They say it's called a dress code: but are we working at an office or department.
    So then what's the point of it?
    Tell me that.

    ReplyDelete
  74. @Samii, maybe they're not after attention, maybe they just really like the person, they are"expressing" themselves

    ReplyDelete
  75. you can never know if a crminal or terrorist can disguise them selves as a student though and take the whole school hostage.Now i know which side im on

    ReplyDelete
  76. i agree with Bailee T because every day its the same old colors black white and navy blue kids dont have the chance to express themselfs till high school or maybe even university/college which doesnt sound so fair

    ReplyDelete
  77. @dragovian what does it matter if you have a girl freind.I think your righting this because you dont have a girlfreind

    ReplyDelete
  78. @cheney-so teams like the yankees do wear matching uniforms but so do our teams like the girl soccer team or the boys soccer team ,but a few years ago our school had a vote to decide if we did need uniform and they said uniform look was good enought as long as we wear the same colours.So now we wear uniform look.

    ReplyDelete
  79. @Pamela Having people that you ''express'' yourself to (as talwinder calls it ''express'') only serves as a distraction.Education before social life is what I keep in mind.

    ReplyDelete
  80. @Gurinder their are people in this school that have a girlfriend and boyfriend but they can keep up their academic achievement.. some people might not be smart but they probaly choose not to do their work, and it depends on the kind of person they are not because if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend.

    ReplyDelete
  81. you cant say having a girlfreind/boyfreind affects your grades because thers no proof

    ReplyDelete
  82. yes dragovian. if there is no gurl with you. then what does it matter if some has 1

    ReplyDelete
  83. @talwinder but still it makes no sense its grade 8 just live your life and if you wanna live your life with a girlfriend/boyfriend im okay with that but my opinion is your to young!

    ReplyDelete
  84. we are not wearing uniforms becase we are tired of wearing them we are protesting it is time this school changes

    ReplyDelete
  85. How does it cause a distraction to your education if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?

    You can focus on two things, sort of like multi-tasking.

    ReplyDelete
  86. what is the point of the dress code?????I dont see ANY reason why we need to have a dress code, also even is mrs.jackson asked u to wear shorts u still get to chosse wat colour !!! we dont !

    ReplyDelete
  87. the dress code is practicly just our old uniform just with out the logo, whats the point, it should b either uniform or no uniform!

    ReplyDelete
  88. @Nida Having intimate partners seems ridiculous at such a low age.Does anyone not see there's so many hobbies people can do or anything...Only if there was someone to eat cheese with and draw epic pictures as do I...

    ReplyDelete
  89. uniform isnt as safe as most people think because someone dangerous could wear the same colors and hurt the students attending school that day but parents say uniform helps just because we wear the same color we wouldnt get mixed up in a crowd.this may be true in a way but everyday people wear those colors as an everyday outfit

    ReplyDelete
  90. how come only the teachers are able to wear what ever they want, the students have feelings to. Maybe we should make the teachers wear uniforms and see what the feel like. It is stupid and what you call cloth slavery

    ReplyDelete
  91. Thamil does it really matter that you have a girlfriend or not at this age. I takes time. The Mentally and Physically Superior and Ultimate Dragovian Gurinder is right and superior

    ReplyDelete
  92. @Samii grade 5 is young we are in middle school now, our last year in the school .. let the people who have it enjoy there life .. but in my opioion i think it is not young to have a boyfriend/girlfriend

    ReplyDelete
  93. anything can distract you from your grades

    girlfriend/ boy friend

    sports

    video games

    band and strings

    and on and on

    ReplyDelete
  94. dragovian how is it gossip we all now it is true and it is very professional if it was gossip we would be talking behind someone's back and i am not because i am RANTING about something i FEEL that is important.

    ReplyDelete
  95. @Rukiye
    a vote...of students /parents / teachers...or did you just mean students

    ReplyDelete
  96. well i think it would (gf /bf ) because when someone woukd be in a class they would start thinkin about their gf or bf , and i agree with stephanie, why do parents get to vote, if us students were going to wear it why didnt we get to vote?

    ReplyDelete
  97. I've got several distractions...I've done 5 hour video gaming sessions,once a 10 hour gaming session,I go to strings,I have a masterpiece to attend to,and it's going to be the end of me.I'm slowly crumbling down,my attention to grades is lowering and is going to be decimated...

    ReplyDelete
  98. @Gurinder, but people that have boyfriends and girlfriends in grade 8 dont take it as intensely as people in high school, the most that they do is hang out during lunch time. but its not like they go to the movies together and focus on their boyfriend and girlfriend all the time. they might go out together once in a while, but they do know when its time to study for a test and when to do their work, it depends on their character, if they do work in the first place they would do their work when they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, if they dont do their work even if they dont have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, its a likely chance that they wont do their work if they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

    ReplyDelete
  99. the dress code doesnt let anyone have free spririt because in the school yard everyone is always trying to get their clothes dirty sso the dress code looks ugly.And everyone looks so sad wearing the uniform it doesnt do anythng good for us.

    ReplyDelete
  100. i agree with janat you have to wear certain clothes but you get to pick what colour like all we get to wear is blue/black and white somtimes yellow for gym but you get to wear what ever you want like red or green etc.

    ReplyDelete
  101. @ JAN 101Why would you think about your love life during your education period?

    ReplyDelete
  102. things can distract people from thier grades but they can choose to be distracted, if they dont think its right they dont have to join in with sports or video games etc.

    ReplyDelete
  103. but dragovian when people who start going out, the mistakes they make in that relationship are going to teach them how to deal with there relationship in the future

    ReplyDelete
  104. ok everyone has a distraction , its there choice if they want to get distracted

    ReplyDelete
  105. @ gurinder how is 8yh grade a low age 6 and below would be to young i wouldn't know but this is what i think

    ReplyDelete
  106. just students because adults think its better for kids to wear uniforms because it can help keep them safe but like i said someone could wear our school color and harm the students so uniform policies arent as safe as adults think and in my opinion only students can understand this also parents find it easier to buy the same dulll colors every year but students want to express themselfs and be different from everyone else

    ReplyDelete
  107. parents no vote???

    they pay the bills and their voice is crucial to your educational experience

    why are we back to uniform stunts your personality...I thought we moved past this...your personality is your personality not your clothes. Don't rely on clothes to say who you are

    ReplyDelete
  108. @talwinder , why would i think about my love life>>>/???? where are u going i dont really have a love life!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. i think that pollution is the worst problem it's more worst then debating about dress codes and uniforms.this would affect us in the future more then what we wearing clothes

  116. i agree with heli polluting is way worst than what we wear in school beacuse if the earth gets too polluted to live on then there is no point of talking about uniform beacuse there won't be any schools

    ReplyDelete
  117. yeah for the environment

    we get caught up with our egos

    but Heli/Nancy my argument that uniform was part of team building a getting people to work together and to save the uniform we will have to work as a team together

  119. everyone is saying that wen we yhave this dress code people can sneak into the school and what not, but even without a dres code that can happen, so uniform, dress code, or just regular clothing people can still fake themnselfs as a student

  124. @Nida The messages aren't going...Internet explorer is messing me up.Mozilla Firefox would be so much easier to use >_>

    @Talwinder I'd have to give that kind of relation up and go back to education.It doesn't sound realistic at all,but I would crumble down and fail in my education ._.

  125. @vanessa At the high school meeting on oct 26,Ms.Jackson did say that parents can change these kind of things at the school.

    I'd actually ask if we could wear black white and blue...But if we wore black it would have to have blue with it,but that's just my idea.

  126. yea, but i dont think he could do anything , i bet mrs.jackson already make her choice after that "parents " voting

  128. We are humbled by Heli's rant on global issues

    uniform

    relationships

    and teachers eating food

    all seem insignificant now

    in a word BRAVO

  129. @ heli i agree pullotion is much worst than ranting about uniform/dresscode soon uniform wont matter becaues everyone will be caught up wity what is imporant the pullotion in our enviroment

  130. @ cheney the uniform didn't really help with teamwork the dress code kind of did

    ReplyDelete
  131. Adding to Heli's comment...Our generation is going to be the one with the most changes in the environment,and in the world of technology.We have to deal with all these new problems in the future,the people before us didn't have to care while they were watching Dragonball Z and Pokemon, and other shows like Inuyasha while we were still maybe toddlers.It's unfair,but we have to deal with these problems for the next generation,but I think the world will heat up,and everyone will die.After everyone dies,natives will start again and this cycle will continue,if this whole universe isn't a dream,maybe there's thousands of these same universes with microscopical differences.

  132. you know the parents should get the option to not wear uniform and to not wear uniform i think thats just right!!we should have the rights at this school!!were the students here!!

  133. Slavery..is a serious problem and should not be associated with education...nor should the motivation of teachers be associated with slavery. As a teacher that comment in a word is disgusting. If my efforts are seen as slavery then this is a real problem. If lesson planning and creating valuable learning experiences is slavery then shame on you for associating yourself with all those that deal with slavery. You are not a victim or slave for coming to school.

    and certainly my actions are not similar to that of a slave owner.

    I find this type of thinking more then disgusting but overall just dissapointing. I would hope I would be seen as a motivated and excited teacher that wants to bring a classroom to life with vibrant energy.

    and assuming that you as students share a bond with slaves really undermines all the issues slaves deal with

  134. Actually I think I should start another topic...Multiple Universes.There could be a universe where everything is frozen in time.When someone dies,a soul would go there.The universe is waiting and untill everyone dies,that universe will start again while this one explodes.Microscopical differences,an infinite number of universes.More than a googleplex!

  135. maybe the cycle will go on but we wounldn't know ,but i don 't think the world may die.
    back to work as a team then that wouldn't happen. and if everybody cooperate the pollution would decrease

  136. The idea of multiple universes has been long explored and in so many ways. I've personally always found it facinating that atomic structure (electrons zooming around a central nucleus) is so similar to how the planets of our solar system zoom around the sun. Hmmm... universe within a universe within a ...

  137. climate change is going to affect us beacuse soon many place will go underwater and the world is going to get more crowded

  138. Another topic...Music!

    All the music today is about sex drugs and money...Why? Several new artists are mediocre,they put in some lady in her undergarments and the video gets a million views,and then people pay for the songs and the artist becomes a millionaire.The lyrics are disgusting,they're unoriginal and they're remakes of old songs.Several songs that were very old are just being remixed,entire albums are the same thing but with a different tempo and SLIGHTLY different words.I know that albums are supposed to have songs that are similar,but it's ridiculous! These new artists try to be gangster or act like prostitutes,appealing to the young adult audience and child audience,leading to the Artist's success.It's ridiculous!!

  139. About pollution: Unfortunately, most people find it difficult to see past themselves and their small world. (We are all guilty of this at some point in our lives =). ) Perhaps this is the 'animal' in human. The affect of pollution happens so slowly to one human life that many people don't even believe there is a problem. How can we change this?

    In many parts of the U.S. people don't even recycle! How is it that one of the most powerful and developed nations of our planet has a portion of its population that does not recycle? FYI: Three of the three families I know personally do NOT have a recycling program in their neighbourhood. One family thinks recycling and Global Warming is a hoax.
    (Mind you, doesn't mean we are "The great Canadians" because we do have those blue boxes. We actually use more energy per capita than they do sadly)

    Okay, I could really go on and on. Got to get ready for my next class.

    This is fun!!!
    Thanks for the invitation.

  140. @ gurinder a lot of music these days are about what you said is true but not all artist are like that mostly just rappers which really sucks since it's going to be aired on the radio or advertised on the internet nut there are a lot of good bands and artist out there like Marianas trench wooooooooo!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  141. ya i agree with what thomas said. theres lots of good artists/musicians out there. its really just the rappers that say stuff like that in their lyrics. i am also not a rap fan so i do not understand lyrics like that. they make no sense.why must they put stuff like that in their lyrics? but about the remade albums. they are only remade because usually the artist wants more money. at least, thats what i think.

  142. global warming is going to be (and already is) affecting us massively in the future if we dont do something about it now. i know we as humans are trying to fix this growing issue now but its not everybody. some people aren't caring about global warming and think its a hoax. but if we want to save our future or make it better for us and future generations, we must all work together and do our part. even if it is as simple as turning the light off when you leave a room; if you continue to do that you are helping slow global warming down. in my opinion though, global warming will never really go away (it cant because the earth needs it so it wont become an ice planet) but us as humans have done enough damage already. global warming IS coming but if we try to change our ways now, it may not be as extreme as it could be.

  143. Music these days have too much swearing if it was just like one part that’s okay since they are trying to prove a point like it is emotional or passionate, but you hear them swearing every few verses and it gets boring. Since there are a lot of new artist doing the same thing over and over it's starting to get repetitive. Mostly with rappers they just put something eye catching in the music video, but when you just listen to the song alone it doesn't sound that good. A great rapper Travie Mccoy.

  144. yeah music does have too much swearing. especially certain rappers i know (i will not put names). i mean, some of the songs are like swearing every other word. yes their point is across but its almost extra all the swearing that is put in. it does not make much sense to me.

  145. @ alyssa half the artist that rap has alot of swearing in it that it doesn't even make sense at all i could not even tall what they were singing about

  149. Wasting time is a copious way to be unsuccessful. it may not matter in your early years, but then as soon as you start the higher portion of middle school and beginning high school. numerous people waste their time in various ways, like video games. I understand that its a means to entertain yourself, but dont extend to substancial amounts of time that you could be productive in. This is evident around the world. Because the video game industry is soo large, it is very hard to not come across them. I think that the whole purpose of video games are to kill time and to distract you. All the advice I have is that to manage your time and to be productive, play video games, but not to a substancial amount of time. So Stop Killing time, because this is the time when we require it most, because we are the FUTURE!
