Tell us your thoughts on the growing offerings in digital books and textbooks. Do you like the idea of having your books on a Phone, Tablet or other device? What might be the drawbacks? What percentage of textbooks do you think will be digital 10 years from now? Do you think you’d read more if you had access to e-books? How do you think e-books will change studying and learning?

I think that having you books on a electronic device is a good thing.  It will help us always have our textbooks while taking the load off our backs.  We will be able to avoid carrying the books back and forth. Also we can use it help us with our homework.  Things can become a lot more easier if everyone had electronic devices with our textbooks.
10 years from now all textbooks will be digital.  No one will purchase textbooks that aren't digital.  It would put a strain on your back and it will cost more money.  That's more money out your pocket as to less money and you always have the textbooks with your device.
I think that having e-books will increase learning and studying.  Kids will be more likely to grab the electronic device and do homework and study.  Everyone always uses their devices so it will occur to them that the have to do something that is needed for school.  It will be for the greater good that we have e-books.

Tell us what you think about the possibility of taking courses online. What are the trade-offs between this approach to education and an experience complete with classrooms and in-person interactions? What are the benefits and drawbacks? Have you ever taken an online course or used an instructional video like those from Vi Hart or Khan Academy? If so, what did you think? Can you see video and online instruction replacing traditional classes? Do you think it is the wave of the future?

I think that taking classes online are not good for people.  It blocks people off from the world.  Even if you have social problem you still should attend school the normal way.  Attending school the normal way causes you to meet new people and experience new things.
People can become isolated from the world and never learn how to verbally communicate with people.  Then people would not be able to get certain jobs because they can't socialize with others.  That is going to cause a decline on people who can talk on adequate level.
Things like that are bad for the people of the society. No one would be able to talk to anyone or be communicative.  That's why online classes are bad.

You may have heard the phrase, "Choose your battles." Write about a battle in school that you think is worth fighting, or one that isn't. Why?

The battle I think is worth fighting in school is the battle of teacher lateness. Teachers think they can cancel a project presentation and then just expect a student to present a any given time without notice.  No child is a machine we don't have everything off the top off our minds. I think that is unfair.  Teachers can't just cancel things then a week later come out and say you have to present your projects.  We are normal people too aren't machines.

Dear Motorola Atrix,

You are a very special thing to me.  You have only been with me a few months but I enjoy having you around.  You have created fun for me and made me enjoy a times where I needed you the most.  You control my music and my games.  You have a part of my memories in you. 

Little do you know I always have you with me.  I keep you protected from thieves and keep you in good shape.  You deserve good treatment because you are a great phone.  You can do many things like take pictures and play music.

I enjoy my phone, I appreciate your company.   You have the power to brighten my day or ruin my day.  This phone is more than a phone to me.  It means the world to me you give me fun.

Sincerely, Aamirr Bailey-Fenderson

Tell us how you feel about the school Dress Code. What is your opinion on School Uniforms? Why do you think it is necessary or unnecessary to wear school uniforms? Do you think that students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms? What do you think is the effect of mandatory school uniforms? What suggestions do you have to improve the Uniform/Dress Code at East Orange Campus High School?

  I think that school uniforms are disgusting.  School uniforms violate a student's right to freedom of expression.  I think public schools are not the place for uniforms.  Our clothing is the way that we kids express ourselves. Another thing is that low income families may not be able to afford uniforms for their child.
      If the school wants kids to dress in uniforms then the school should buy the uniforms and give it
to the kids for free. You want it then you pay for it.  Everyone should be able to express their own creativity.  Every morning I look for my school uniform underneath all of my nice looking clothes. We look the same everyday. But I do agree if we were to have free choice then, yes, we should dress appropriately. But it's most likely we would.
     In conclusion, I don't think we should have school uniforms because they don't show individuality and they are boring. Kids don't want to all look the same.  Why would we want to look like everyone else.

Tablets will increase learning in high school.  It will help students when it comes to bringing books back and forth.  With the tablet you won't have to bring book to and from school you can just have the tablet with your books on it.  People will be able to get internet examples if they don't understand what is going on in class.

How does flaming show a lack of respect? Do you respect people who flame others? Why?

Flaming shows lack of respect because the person is verbally abusing someone.  It's a bad thing to do to slander people.  I don't respect people who flame others.  It's bad and I would never do that.  It gives people bad reputations.
