violence in schools

I think that i would have to report the child as a teacher because it is part of my job to protect the kids. If i were the student it would depend on how well i knew the kid and if i thought if he had the intent to do something about it. It would be a hard decision and i would have to think about it carefully before i got them in trouble. I think in some cases, depending on the kid, it is serious. All actions like that should be punished but with different degrees of punishments. This has an impact on me because i know what it feels like to be picked on. When i was real young I got made fun of but when i started to be taller then everyone else, it stopped. I always stand up for the little guy and defend them. It makes a difference when someone cares and lends a hand. I think people should be a little more careful about the other person fealings, rather then there own.

Pair on and two blog post

Pair one
I think fairy tails teach very important morals for kids, its a nice way to entertain them and teach them something at the same time. It also gives the parent and child a connection that when the parent herd the same story and is passing it to their child. The fairy tale sticks with the child and reminds them not to talk to strangers or to cry wolf. The storys can also affect and minuplate as in the little red ridding hood where the girl needs help from the man. The storys can be very suggestive in the roles of gender.

Pair two
I think the voting should be changed to vote for the person who should be voted off. That way your not always voting for your favorite every time. It helps the people think about who did the worst and not just focusing on who your favorite is. It will also give everyone equal viewing time because your looking for the worst not just your favorite.

Fun Read

Over the spring break i read the book Murder In The Supreme Court by Margaret Trueman. It was a good book, and a real page turner. She is a good writer and has written several other mystery books. The women at Barnes and Nobel recommend her. I cant wait to read another one of her books, she really puts you there. It wasn't long before the murder, i think the third chapter, and she took you through every ones motive and opportunities. I can see why she is a popular author.

make up post from Feb 26

we had a snow day. there are a good and a bad to a snow day. The good thing is that there is no school. The bad thing is that there is snow to shovel and i am always the one who does it. I dont mind it but our snow blower broke and that means i have to do our driveway by hand. I hate that becase it is big and a pain to do. I really am sick of shovling snow and i cant wait till I move down to NC and only deal with it a couple of times in a small driveway.

Final project

For my final project I am going to do a web page. With the web page i will use what I learned in High School, I took Web Page design classes and I really liked it. I am going to peruse a career in Hospitality Management. I like to deal with customer and provide them with the best experience for their enjoyment.

women and children rights?

I think that we should try and inform people of other cultures that all people are equal and should be treated that way. Unfortunally not everyone is going to follow that theory. As we saw in the video, the men treated women like that because it was part fo thier culture and religion. It can be hard to convince someone in changing what they grew up with. The problem is that when you learn something the first time, like how to treat a women and what are thier roles, it is hard to break that thought because we compare new things to what we already know. It is hard to stray away from what you know to be right. I don't agree with the way they are treating theses kids and women, I just understand the way of reasoning. The only way they are going to realize what they are doing wrong is put them in a women's shoes and see what they have to go through.
