    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.

    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.

    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."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I am hoping to get some GOOD discussion in this thread. As we approach the final 3 weeks of Semester 1, what have we learned. From your perspective, what should schools (including ours) do about GRADING during the pandemic?

    They should take into consideration how well the teacher is doing at helping students get feedback and help, some teachers are not doing their part when students ask for help. Both students and teachers have to be working hard to communicate effectively and if one falls out it could cause students to flop more
  • eoneal271 on 07 Dec 20
     
    Learning at home is not fun at all. Some teachers try and incorporate students at home, but then the students do not comply, but then some teachers don't even involve the students at home. It is extremely hard to stay focused at home when there are many distractions at home. I am not surprised at all by this statistic because we need to be in school. They need to shut down bars and restaurants before they even consider shutting down schools.
  • josephinelamb on 07 Dec 20
     
    Learning online is much more difficult than in person. It's harder to stay focused. It's harder to keep up when most teachers focus only on the students who are in the classroom. Although I still think we should continue to keep A-F grades because some colleges aren't accepting pass/fail, and pass/fail affects your GPA.
  • olijohnson on 07 Dec 20
     
    I dont think we should change the A-F grading system, but I do think we should change either the curriculum or be more understanding and lax on the grading scale
  • scarney230 on 07 Dec 20
     
    i dont think we should change the a-f grades but i do think that we should change how are curriculum is or we should start being more flexible both teacher and students towards assignments i think we should be more open because this is all knew to us
  • trinitytallman on 07 Dec 20
     
    I have noticed that online school is much more difficult than in person. Its hard to stay motivated and get all of your work get done. I feel like the teachers should try to include the online students a little bit more than they do. It will help keep everyone engaged and learning the things that they need too. I think there should still be an A-F format but maybe make it a little bit easier to take some stress of of students.
  • josephfeser on 07 Dec 20
     
    I think that the way that grades are being made is becoming more unfair, The way people get grades is based off of assignments instead of actually knowing the stuff, it is based on memorizing instead of learning. There shouldn't be an A-F, there should be a pass or fail based on knowledge, not assignments.
  • mmailey052 on 07 Dec 20
     
    I think that doing work online is much harder than in person because I think I lose motivation to really do anything because some teachers feel like we are not really there and ignore us. I think we should still have A-F's because they are good but I wish the grades were curved a little because of these hard times.
  • Michael Keller on 07 Dec 20
     
    Online school has its setbacks, but I feel like it's manageable. School has been relatively the same despite the setbacks, and I appreciate our teachers not giving us an overabundance of work to do. And the work they do give us helps with class. I feared that this year would be hard because everyone said the junior year is the hardest, but this has been like any other year.
  • laurenhansen168 on 07 Dec 20
     
    I agree, with Michael, I thought this year was going to be really hard too, but I think the teachers have done a good job helping students when they need it, and have layed off on homework. Although it is hard to do online work, it is managable like Michael said.
  • xxchrysxx on 07 Dec 20
     
    I believe in our grading system, but for the pandemic there need to be some changes. This year has been a crazy rollercoaster and because of that, I think we need to slow down and take a step back. The school needs to lighten up on assignments and focus more on if everyone is understanding the material.
  • cmacias539 on 08 Dec 20
     
    I never have F's but this year was my first year failing a class and I feel like online school is definitely one reason why, I don't even know what I'm doing in that class tbh. some teachers just don't do good enough to help us learn at home.
  • jcollins438 on 14 Dec 20
     
    I think that this year just hasn't been great for school and I hope that colleges understand this year and the grades that come along with it.
  • hharker376 on 14 Dec 20
     
    I have learned that online school can be quite difficult for some people. The grading system should at least be altered to help students keep up.
  • jcooley186 on 14 Dec 20
     
    I definitely think that this year has been hard, especially with school and the stress of being virtual. But I think teachers have done a really good job of trying to help students and try to be interactive with the online students (In my case at least,). We should keep our grading system, and maybe we could improve on being more flexible with grading.
  • bayliegirres on 14 Dec 20
     
    I think that we should still have A-Fs. I do think that because of the pandemic there should be some changes, but I think that we need to have A-Fs especially for the kids who worked hard to get good grades it wouldn't be fair to them for trying hard and not getting credit.
  • margaretgrover on 05 Jan 21
     
    I think that having A-Fs are still a good idea, but we need to be adaptable in what it means to earn these grades. Stress and anxiety have been really hard this year and it wears on not only students but teachers as well. Teachers have been really trying to help their students and we should appreciate that.
  • lennxbrown on 11 Jan 21
     
    I think we should still have A-Fs. The pandemic doesn't need to change every aspect of our life. Personally, I had no issue learning at home and most people are simply using it as an excuse to slack off.
  • kaeleem on 11 Jan 21
     
    Its harder for students to ask questions when online making it harder to understand questions
  • carmellahargens on 13 Jan 21
     
    i think that we should continue with the A-F grading scale. the pandemic doesn't really give you a whole lot of excuses. i mean i had some trouble doing some assignments because it was a little bit harder to do things at home without being able to freely ask questions
  • tkoesters274 on 25 May 21
     
    I think that we should still have A-Fs still. Teachers just need to be more considerate of things going on at home for students and how much students are struggling this year.
  • hschimmer540 on 25 May 21
     
    I agree with tkoesters274 teachers should take into consideration each student and what they are juggling at home and with schoolwork on top of everything and 7 classes that assign homework it gets hard to keep up especially with sports after school. I think we should keep the A-F scale because it's easy and everyone is used to it so don't fix what isn't broken.
  • bigslide on 25 May 21
     
    I think having more lenience for kids this year is necessary. Many have to work and help out their families. Many family members have died a depression is very serious and crushing.

    What do you guys think about this? Do you think the FBI should have watched him more to make sure nothing like this would have happened?
  • abbidominguez on 26 Apr 21
     
    I think if someone seems to be a threat to the community we should have a closer look at them and monitor them often whether that means checkups, some sort of surveillance, etc. I think this situation may have been avoided had they been checking up on him more frequently after this incident or had someone done some sort of mental health evaluation as it was obvious to his mother he was planning something.

    RBG death sets the stage for even more 2020 political drama. If you read other stories about the battle to fill her vacancy, pay attention and post to Diigo; we will certainly be discussing this in class.

    RBG is someone to definitely look up to, I admire her perseverance to reach her goals for society. She deserves to be remembered as she wanted to be. Hopefully, as a society, we can all preach together what she fought so passionately for.
  • gozzello162 on 21 Sep 20
     
    RBG was a key aspect of women earning some very basic rights in this country and should be looked at as nothing less than a catalyst of equality. This vacancy does pose some concerns as to who will be appointed and whether or not Trump even holds the right to place someone on the court at this moment in time
  • hharker376 on 21 Sep 20
     
    RGB was someone who fought for equal rights for women and the LGBT community and it seems scary for the future since she was one of the only ones stopping their rights being revoked. :( Her legacy and goals should be remembered and we should keep fighting for what she was working so hard for.
  • ethompson038 on 21 Sep 20
     
    RBG fought tooth and nail for equal rights for women and LGBT+. Her legacy is tremendous and she is for sure a very respected political figure. I think a lot of people are now scared about what is going to happen with her death and what it means as to who will fill her position. I know there are some people who are are saying that someone needs to be appointed right away, but her final wish was that her spot not be filled until after the election.
