Marin Beaches - 1 views
-
I think that many people are active is trying to keep our beaches clean because here in Marin we are so lucky to have such beautiful beaches. I think that days like costal clean up even help with our success to keep the beaches clean. I know one women who constantly picks up trash all along Stinson to keep it clean. I think this is a very good thing and we should keep the cleaning.

Do you think teens know that too much of anything isn't good? Do they realize that everything is better in moderation?...even water.
Car Crash In Orange County Kills 5 Teens After Vehicle Splits In Half - 10 views

I agree with everyone that the school has the right to publish memorials because its their job and raise awareness that something has happened so students can say what they want to say about the loss. This can effect a school community very much and can really effect the school life especially for the people who were close to the victims. I think if something like this happened at Tam there would be a lot of talk about it and that we should definitely share the memorials. To show that everyone cares and is sorry the losses.
Redwood Soccer - 8 views

I think that a chill coach can sometimes be better but also if they are chill its hard to grow and develop more skills. I agree with Emma in that the coaching style and which is better really depends on the player and how they like to play. I play soccer for Tam and just from experience Redwood has a lot of talented players that play with stricter coaches in the off season. Though they did win the Mcal title I don't think this was because of the chill coaching style. A lot of it had todo with the technique that the players already had.
High Schools Gay "Cutest Couple" - 27 views

I agree with haley. I think that this is very cool and that this could really change some schools and help the gay and lesbian community to become more comfortable at school. I think that tam has already taken some steps in the process to become a open school with these kinds of things but there is definitely room to growing. We do have our LGBTQ club at Tam where people can express their sexuality. I think that if Tam could do something like this it would be very cool and make everybody feel more open and welcomed to be who they are.
Amanda Bynes pyschiatric evaluation - 24 views
-
This is really upsetting because the Amanda I remember is from the Amanda which used to make me laugh so hard in 5th grade. Her tweets are actually very terrifying and they made me really uncomfortable. You can just tell that something is seriously going on with her and she needs extreme help. The drugs theme seems to be very common among stars who started at a very young age. I think its so sad and hope she finds recovery.
Mill Valley's (Homeless) Woman About Town - 10 views
-
I think people in Mill Valley have very different opinions on homeless people. Some people believe that they shouldn't be here and that it is very unsafe. Other people fell really bad for the homeless and will give them money if they ask. Someone like Rebecca has lived in Mill Valley her whole life and I think that its sad that she lost her job and home. If someone I grew up with fell through like that and wasn't doing very well I would try to help them get back on track and maybe get a job so they could go back to the life they had before.
Why Everone Hates Redwood: Turning Slam Poetry into the Superbowl - 8 views
-
I agree with Nic. I think they took this article too far. Yeah they won good for them but I think that is was a little over the top. I also think they were still trying to compute with Tam and Drake through the article making it seem like they were so much better then us. I also think that they are trying to cover all different parts of Redwood so they are trying to include the slam poetry club
Photo Essay: "The People You Meet at McDonald's" - 24 views
-
I think this was a really cool article. The photos were very interesting and made me laugh. I think that something like this could be really cool for the Tam News I really enjoyed browsing through the pictures and looking at all the different kind of people that go to McDonalds. The pictures even made me think more about each person and why they were there. I really really enjoyed this.
Dress Codes Are Sexist & Homophobic - 45 views
-
I think this article was cool but this topic of dress code is constantly talked about. Dress code is always a question at school and sometimes it is talked about too much. Yes I agree there should be a dress code but the fact that people bring up how girls can be distracting int heir outfits is ridiculous. Some girls should probably cover up a lot more but I think that should just be because they respect themselves not because the boys are getting distracted.
Florida Student Arrested for Relationship with Same-Sex Teammate - 23 views

I agree with Daniel and Veronica. It is very obvious that the father is only so angry and involved because it is two females. I don't think Hunt deserves all the hate and legally trouble she is getting.I think that the petition is very good and the fact that it is getting around so much is really good. I hope the court and it and it helps them see that the father of the 14 year old i just upset because of the same sex factor.
Free Hugs Gone Bad - 21 views

I think this article makes him seem like a bad person and he may not be. The parents also seemed to turn on him in the article and made him seem like a bad person. They should get a balance of who likes him and who doesn't. This would give me a different look at this article and let me decide if I like him or not.

This article different then others and it was cool to watch the videos as you read the side bar next to it.

What do you think? Do you like this lay out? Are the videos distracting?
Though I don't really know who this is. What do you think of they organized this day in the life? Its almost like a profile of Charli XCX but with pictures and notes on the side. What do you think?
