This is interesting - I'm glad they published it, but I agree with the people who say they could have gone deeper. I say this because it doesn't go into the role of TA's much - how many students a...

The writer was able to maintain a light voice which I think aided getting his point across. As a lot of people have noted, this article is amusing. However while being amused the writer was able to...

This is really astonishing to see how many kids under the age of two are now playing with phones and tablets on a day-to-day basis. When I was younger, I never played with technology or watched an ...

I think that this article makes a very valid point. Maybe English classes should be more structured and focus on smaller aspects of English at a time similar to how math is taught. Rather than read...

This was a very interesting article, I never really looked into online college. I think this, as others have already said, is very convenient for people who are good with technology, and have a ver...

I think you could tell a lot about a person by what they're willing to join a frat. I dont know if it has something to do with a lack of friends throughout their childhood or what but for me person...

I think that technically Adderall constitutes cheating, just as steroids do in sports. I think that people use it as a sort of short cut to good grades; it's true that the drug helps you concentrat...

I land somewhere in the middle of this argument. I believe that impartiality should remain a focus of good news writing but that news also has a lot that it could learn from the opinion and column ...

If teachers are crazy enough to deal with a bunch of teenagers, then I wouldn't say all teachers are completely sane. I would not feel safe at all if all my teachers had a gun in the classroom. I r...

This is a cool idea I could see incorporated into the writing process. Other editors can probably relate to doing final edits of a story only to change sentence structure or debate grammar. A compu...

Bear in mind the bias within the story; the headline is practically dripping with it. From the outset of the piece, we're being given most the sensational, outrageous angle, designed to make us det...
