Darby Douglas commented on Aly Glover's blog post Lost Imagination"They don't know Ghosts in the Graveyard? Honestly, if it's a nice summer night, I'll totally play that game with my friends! I remember making new games with new rules with my friends on the playground when I was in Elementary School.…"
haena y. commented on Aly Glover's blog post Lost Imagination"Not having an imagination is super heart breaking, especially as a child. When you are young, thats your time to have a your own made-up world. To add on and agree with you, we are not any better. We should take some time away from all the electonic…"
Sarah Obrzut commented on Aly Glover's blog post Lost Imagination"I agree with you. Kids dont know how to go out and be kids these days now that they have phones and computers and xbox to entertain them. When I was younger i was outside almost everyday, and my brother who is 3 years younger than me is always…"
whitney cummings (caleo) commented on Aly Glover's blog post Lost Imagination"I defnitely agree. Kids' free time revolves around video games, the computer, and TV. I'll mention a game I used to play when I was little to a young kid, and I am shocked when they say they've never heard of it. I…"
Ryan Woodman commented on Aly Glover's blog post Lost Imagination"I think that our lack of imagination from the younger kids of the generation stems from 2 things. One, is the need for instant gratification, which they don't get from taking the time to go out to a park or something and playing a game, and the…"
Nick Fallico commented on Aly Glover's blog post Lost Imagination"I completely agree. I used to always play games like that when I was younger but now all kids do is play video games or tv. A lot of kids even play video games at school instead of playing during recess. I would much rather go out and play something…"

A couple of months ago, I was sitting in physical therapy for my foot when my physical therapist asked me about what I did for fun when I was little. I could remember playing four square, ghost in the graveyard, red rover, jump rope games and many other games that my friends and I would make up. The lady next to me, a third grade teacher, said that the kids in her class haven’t ever heard of those games! They don’t know what to do when they don’t have TV, video games or a computer to entertain…See More
Aly Glover commented on Meghan Byrne's blog post Parents and Facebook: they just don't mesh."I agree with Katy. If your gonna post things that you don't want your parents seeing, don't post it at all. That's just asking for trouble. I'm friends with a lot of my family on Facebook and the only thing that bugs me is that I…"
Aly Glover commented on megan majewski's blog post Omg, that`s so..."I'm really glad that someone did a blog on this. I can't say I'm innocent of saying "That's so gay" because I'm not. However, when I use to say it, I didn't know that it could be offensive. I don't think…"
Aly Glover commented on Keely Ward's blog post Does school ruin reading?"I agree with Duncan. The books from 50 years ago don't really relate to us anymore and are overworked. I think that we could find books from our time that do some of the same things. I love to read when it doesn't have to do with school.…"
Aly Glover commented on Alanna Krivanek's blog post You're only 12, but you look 16."You are so right! The other day I was talking to my younger cousin who is in 5th grade and she was telling me how she loves Jersey Shore! I don't even think it's a good show for teens to watch that show let alone a 5th grader! It…"
Aly Glover commented on Nick Fallico's blog post My Last Ning Blog"I actually think it was creative to do a blog about blogs. Not a lot of people know about them. I, myself, have one that I do sometimes and I find it's a nice way to get things off my chest. I don't really care if no one reads them,…"
Aly Glover commented on Bianca Cerna's blog post D.E.P.R.E.S.S.I.O.N."Coming from someone who is currently dealing with depression and has a lot of family members that have dealt or are still dealing with depression, I know first hand how hard it is. It's not something that just goes away or something that you…"
Aly Glover commented on Megan Teschner's blog post Cursive: Where is it headed?"I was never good a writing in cursive. The only think that looks nice when I use cursive is my name because I'm so use to signing my name but that's it and sometimes I just the first letter of my name and scribble after it. I remember my…"
Aly Glover commented on Justin Park's blog post War & WWIII?"I honestly think it's a matter of time before World War III breaks out. There are so many countries fighting with another that it's inevitable. I disagree though when you say war never changes. Who says that we can't change how a war…"

The Price of Education
The Price of Education
As we’re getting to the half way mark of our junior year, teachers, friends, parents, & family, keep talking about college. “Where do you want to go?” “What are you going to major in?” Whether we like it or not, the time to pick a school is coming up soon. The question on my parents mind, as well as mine is “How do you plan on paying for it?”…

Why Should Marriage Depend On Gender?
It’s a huge topic lately: Same sex marriage. Most states will not allow or even recognize marriage between two men or two women. Out of our 50 states, gay couples can only get married in 5: Connecticut, Iowa,…

Can You Feel The Pressure?
Nowadays, it seems like there is so much pressure to succeed at everything we do. I’m sure a lot of parents try and push their kids to do well in school and at times it gets so overwhelming. All that they want is for their kids to study, study, study. Parents would rather have their child stay home and study on a Friday night or even on the weekend, than go out a be a kid. They want their child to get all A’s and take AP classes so they can go to a good school. But at times I think that parents… Continue

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"
Bridget Babcock left a comment for Adam Babcock"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
