Spring still not here...4+ inches of snow this morning.Wow!!Hopefully tomorrow will be in the mid-60s as forecasted.
True. Just glad you didn't get into a fightWell, it depends on what the administration finds out. They can't know every rumor that's going about, and so long as no actual fight occurs in their sight or on school grounds, nothing will happen.Just thought I'd bump this old threadGood thing you didn't get into a fight. Some school systems like mine have zero tolerance policies for things like that
I can only remember one detention in Elementary School, and I think one in Middle School. Can't remember what either one was for... but I was having some issues with a resource teacher in 8th grade. Nothing has happened since, and I too have cleaned up my act. Haslett is pretty mixed when it comes to discipline... strict in some areas yet careless in others. I think our system is fine as it is. I nearly got into a fight with a freshman, but it was really a joke and he's a lot nicer than I thought he was. Sounds like even that would have landed me (and possibly him) in trouble in Tyler's system

No they aren't. You clearly haven't been around the people down in Jersey and theyre not as friendly. If I wasn't trying enough, then I wouldn't have posted that. Anyways I shouldn't have posted that since it has nothing to do with the topic.Its fine as long as everyone plays nice
My school systems and nearly all of VAs schools require at least 3 years of a single foreign language to get an adv diploma and regular diplomas require at least 1. We need to STRENGTHEN education and make things tougher. Yea its going to be hard but school isn't supposed to be easy and we as a nation need to build our population to help save our position as the leading country in this world. All schools now do is slack the curriculum to get kids to pass (insert name here) standard test so they can get more money. Thats it. We are way behind in education compared to most of the European countries. Most learn multiple language from a very early start. Take for example at my school. We got a grant to try "small learning communities" in the 9th grade. Part of this plan was to require everyone to take Honors World History. Now when you make something that everyone takes honors, its not honors anymore. Its a regular class. However that looks quite fantastic on paper. The number of students taking advanced courses shot up XX%. Makes the school system look really good and gets more money.In my opinion, (Don't start a flame war) I think Education is more important than healthcare. I mean look here, Americans are getting dumber by the minute and the educational standards here need some toughening up.Don't kill me for going off topic here, but I disagree with that notion. Michigan just tightened up standards for education as of the class of 2011 and beyond (my class, go figure), and apparently I'm now finding out that the class of 2014 and beyond is forced to take a language course. It's making life more miserable for a lot of students. I'm no different from a lot of other students in the notion that more work makes me less able to complete it... and it further piles up. What we need is not tougher education... but simply easier access to it. College tuition costs are going through the roof, and education is not very important to a lot of families who live in lower income areas. We need more funding for schools to be improved not only in the appearance (Lansing schools are horribly run down), but also how effective the methods of a lot of teachers are. Teachers who take input from their students, and stay before and after school to give assistance to students who have questions are in my opinion effective.
As for this healthcare issue, I do have somewhat of a stand. I am for it, because insurance should be available to all. It increases competition, which is healthy for the economy in the end.
But honestly, it all connects in the end. It's hard to not somehow involve education or the economy even in a discussion about healthcare.
I love debating this stuff. Just remember folks keep it civil please
Who the hell is "Testly McNuggets" and how did he get a designer position so quick?Test account of Jesse's TWCC account. Checking out compatibility wither merging databases
So, is the merger going to happen, or are we still not sure yet? If so, I'll need to speak to Martin privately regarding some issues when he gets the chance.Likely as Matt has agreed. PM me of concerns or send me an IM.
I'm not for it at all. Nobama needs to get off his lazy chair and fix our abysmal economy before worrying about things that are far less important like healthcare and education. I know lots of people who are and/or know others who are desperate for jobs right now.
Okay. Here's the deal. If people die (or get hurt and can't work), there won't be people to work any jobs. If people aren't educated, there won't be as much of a quality workforce as we have today. So this very well is a step forward.
