Stereotypes are misunderstood
A lot of work has gone into suppressing stereotyping at this school. The funny thing is that many people don’t understand that a stereotype isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The negative effects only start to show when a derogatory value is assigned to groups of people. These types of assumptions are unfounded and sloppy. When [...] -
Phones and iPods go MIA
For a couple years now Terrace High School students have felt belittled, violated, and even betrayed by teachers and administrators when our personal electronics are taken away in classrooms. Students don’t fully understand why the abduction is occurring, so an explanation of the situation is in order. Many students think that taking our electronics away is [...] -
Staff mini-eds
Can you remember 210 names? This year students and teachers are subjected to class sizes as large as 35 in English classes and up to 43 in P.E. classes. That’s right, classes could get even more chaotic around here. One positive is that the best learning is surely done when it is your day to stand, [...] -
Student rights are in jeopardy
On May 29, 2008, Avery Doninger of Lewis Mills High School filed an injunction to stop school administrators from removing her from running for senior class secretary because she wrote that the school superintendent was a “douche bag” on a live journal blog. Judge Sonia Sotomayor joined in a ruling to deny this injunction. The [...] -
What would we do without you guys?
In the last issue of the year, the Hawkeye staff would like to thank everyone who contributed to our success this year. Thank you for your time, energy, commitment and support. We attended two national conventions this year and was awarded 7th in the Nation this spring. We also received Recognition of Excellence from WJEA at [...] -
The economy is only getting worse
We are living in exponential times. For example, did you know that it is predicted that this year will generate 4 exabyte’s (4×10^19) of unique information? That’s more info than the past 5,000 years. But, amongst these wild changes, the threat of the status quo is also rising exponentially. “Wars” are still raging at an [...] -
The belated – and unnecessary – experience
Senior experience: taking quizzes about yourself that rival those of Facebook, dressing up for an imaginary job five years from now, and pretending to have kids for the sake of sometimes messed up scenarios. Isn’t your experience as a senior supposed to be enjoyable? Most of the curriculum in senior experience comes to the 17- and [...] -
The danger of religion to the modern world
One of the most incredibly dangerous practices a society can tolerate within itself is allowing religion any input or power over the society. This is not a new theory, an untested one, or even truly debatable. In the numerous unfortunate examples we have of religious leaders being allowed legal powers and precedents, an invariable trend [...] -
Good, bad news online
The system that our district has created to enforce and manage Internet filtering is deeply flawed. When, four years ago, I noted the serious flaws in the decision to block blogs at high schools, the process required to fix the problem was unnecessarily complex. The heavy-handedness of the filtering, combined with hard-to-find paperwork, a vague [...] -
Public education: drink the poison
Public education is the means by which a government can equip its citizens with knowledge, and knowledge is power. A society of powerful people is a powerful society, and in this sense education is the single most important aspect of any civilization in the constantly transforming modern world. The ideas and sciences of mankind have [...]
