Comment on Straightening up attendance by Patricia Gower

This is the stupidest thing. The administration carding the students, and causing them to have to wait in a long tine just to get inside, it causes people to miss more class then they would have if they didn’t have to be carded. I say, if you are late, walk around back and go in through the HUB.

Third story, it’s “protesters”, not “protestors”

It will be a little hectic at first, but seriously this is a blessing in disguise. I bet I speak for many hard-working students when I say study hall will help us not stay so late finishing homework or trying to copy off of our classmates.

I’m really happy about this. Some of my teachers are only in school for a few hours which means if I need help with something I need to come before school, which is impossible because I have a 0 period!

This is good stuff. I hadn’t realized that tutorial got cut. That really blows because tutorial is basically the reason I passed math. I think that the school made a great decision when they decided to reinstate it, even for two days a week, and I hope that this will show voters and legislators that the cuts being made are very detrimental to high school education and that teachers, who are getting pay cuts, are concerned enough to rearrange school schedules in an attempt to help. I encourage every student to take advantage of tutorial time not only to get extra help with your subjects, but to encourage those who put the change in place.

Comment on President Obama presents plan to Congress aimed at helping economy by Jeff

I am completely skeptical on whether Oboma can actually pull it off and create more jobs. The President can’t create more jobs, the economy creates more jobs.

Lets get rid of the minimum wage, and we’ll see jobs sprout up all over the place!

Comment on Tacoma teacher trouble by Tacoma Windows and Siding

I think the Tacoma teachers should get paid more. It’s a tough job, and one of the most important jobs in our society.

The influence teachers have on our children is staggering to say the least. They deserve to be compensated as such.
But we also need a system to keep the best teachers in their job, and kick the crummy ones out.

These photo’s are really great. Especially the leaf strewn pathway, the depth in that photo is magnificent. Thanks for posting this DevIn, and thank you Serena for taking these spectacular photos. Keep up the good work.

Comment on Seriously…knock it off, we don’t want to see that by Brendan Patrick Moran

Brendan Patrick Moran — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 07:31:02 +0000

When I was a student at Terrace I once saw two delicate young women locked in the kind of tender, kissing embrace beside which the graces of the immaculate virgin Mary seem but crumpled pages in a dated storybook. What you’re proposing is that teachers take steps to prevent further such incidents and thus preclude another person’s experiencing that kind of sublime religious experience. I’m deeply offended by your suggestion.

Comment on Animal testing: a cry for help by James Parker

James Parker — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 14:34:29 +0000

At the risk of tooting our own horn, we suggest that answers to questions raised in this editorial are not hard to get. They are available in The Animal Research War, (P. Michael Conn and James V. Parker, authors), a small book that distinguishes (as this editorial doesn’t) animal research from animal testing and animal drug testing from commerical product testing. The book lays out the evidence that biomedical research involving animals is very seldom painful, vigorously regulated, and absolutely necessary to the development of every medication, treatment and item of a doctor’s advice that you and I depend on for our health. The book would be a good resource for high school science and debate classes and for anyone preparing a research project or term paper on the controversy surrounding the role of animals in our society.
