    I don't know how well everyone having a computer will work, and how well students will take care of it.

    Connor makes a good point. I think we will have to establish a school culture that bringing your laptop to class is as important as having your cell phone with you. Also, here is another article about our Google day. http://goo.gl/9GvQi

    In high school I'm not sure how important it is for students to have their own laptops. English and history and the 2 mandatory classes that computers work well in. Science and math don't always work well, electives can use them, but not all of them. We really don't know how well this will work until next year. College on the other hand for seniors this year will require laptops, and chromebooks I don't think will work well for college. IM just going to stick with my Mac, does everything this machine does and more.

    Studying Government in the textbook is fine to get the basic ideas, but to really understand what is happening around us takes more work. Use this forum to share interesting content that you find. I ask that we try and keep our links related to government topics and stay within the code of conduct.

    Schools punish bullies more than just a simple slap on the hand. Bullies should be suspended. Then if bullying continues expel them because they have a much greater effect on people than we think.

    I spent some time reading over the CNN comments on this article. It is clear to me how widespread the issue still is, so much of the "advice" offered was 'get revenge' posts or name calling. I am always eager to hear student's thoughts on this issue. How does ALHS rate in your eyes? Do we do enough to educate and prevent this kind of thing, or are we still perpetuating more problems?
  • saffron springer on 08 Oct 13
     
    My opinion of this is, that AL does not do enough against bullying. We should be doing more to stop it then just talking about it like we have done in the past.
  • anonymous on 08 Oct 13
     
    I agree with the Connecticut post, the school does nothing about the bullying even though we all know its a huge issue. Like the post said, all the school does is say to the bully "say your sorry" and to them the problem is solved.
  • Jessi Gallagher on 09 Oct 13
     
    I wonder if the bullies even care when they go too far and kids kill themselves over it.
  • Victoria Kirk on 09 Oct 13
     
    The school is basically like every other school (at least here in the USA) and don't punish bullying enough. I think along with the bullies the school should be charged with his death since help is what the depressed kid was looking for and he didn't get it.

    Bullying is to hard to detect now a days hard to stop
  • Mikaela Bowen on 22 Oct 13
     
    Here at our school, bullying is a big issue when basing it off of what I see on a typical day. There are students and teachers who do their best to prevent it as much as possible, but then there are some who allow it to happen without ever making any sort of attempt to stop it. I do not think that charges should be made against anyone for this case, however. To me it's like throwing a rock at nothing and expecting it to hit something. How would pressing charges do anything? How do you know that doing so would affect the people who had bullied the kid in the first place? Unless there's evidence of who committed the actions, why, and how, then I don't think that suing anyone would be justified. But, I do believe that making and enforcing more rules to target bullying would help decrease it, as well as make people more conscious of how their words and actions affect people.

    Regardless of where you end up on this issue, it is good to see young people taking part in government for our own community.

    I can't believe they say were too young to understand. Just because were in high school we too young. its not right.
  • Lauren Rommel on 13 Dec 11
     
    I am proud of Emily for standing up for what she wanted. Not many people would be brave enough to do something like that..
  • flor valdez on 13 Dec 11
     
    i think that its really brave of emily to stand up for what she wants and thinks that is the best. Not a lot of people would do it. But she is standing up for others and her opinion.
  • Brice Johnson on 13 Dec 11
     
    I understand where he is coming from saying high schoolers are too young to understand this. This topic is all about money, where it is coming from, how much money is needed, how much they will get from it. We do not know what goes on behind the scenes of this deals. Maybe instead of saying we are too young he should of said we are uninformed.
  • Michaela Kennedy on 13 Dec 11
     
    I like what Brice said, "we are just uninformed."
  • awest520 on 13 Dec 11
     
    I hate to say it but i have this intense urge to slap City Council member Matt Walsh...what because we are young we automatically don't understand? More like we have more on our minds then politics and gaining support by being popular with business owners.
  • Derek Large on 13 Dec 11
     
    we have the right to say what we need to say. People have the right to say that they should not be in a public place or anywhere.
  • Jordan Smith on 13 Dec 11
     
    I also think its good that students are trying to make good points on why they shouldnt own the MAC. There taking a part in this and trying to stop it. But will it help? We will see later on....
  • Dakota Smith on 13 Dec 11
     
    If he has enough gumption to tell Emily that he is disappointed in her for collecting signatures from uninformed student then he should have enough knowledge to know that we won't know whats going on if we aren't educated on this topic and that it is the generations above us job to educate us and pass on what they have learned to the younger generation. So if he is disappointed in Emily then he should also be disappointed in himself for not doing his job.
