"Honestly Finals are a pain. I personally would be happier if we didn't simply because it would cause less stress and we have already been tested on the subject why should we be tested on them again? That I just do not understand."

Aricela Marquez commented on Carly Mckay's blog post Hello, Youtube! Welcome to Fremd."Oddly enough Youtube is used in sooo many ways inside the classroom. Just this year I had at least three projects that involved using Youtube. Teacher and students both use it educationally, but sometimes we get carried away when bored and use it…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"College is closer than ever and stress has been hitting my like a bullet, but I feel that choosing what to do is highly important. Trust me if I could just go to college and not worry about my majors until my gen eds. are done then I totally would,…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"I personally would choose a University and I did. Simply because I feel getting the experience to be on your own is important. Sure it is a lot cheaper to go to a community college, but you are most likely going to be stuck at home in a comfort…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Haley Bohl's blog post Future"Oh my goodness I feel that the future is far away but honestly it couldn't be more close. I have college in the fall and I was just discussing my next step after my gen eds. and I'm not even done with High school yet! I would like to…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Lauren Andersen's blog post Year-Round School: the modern school of today"I personal would love school year round. Sure Summer is always good for changes in life growth, but I just had this conversation with my sister in law. I feel that by having school year round we do not lose the mind set of learning. Plus…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Joaquin Zuniga's blog post 7h3 l@Ngu@Ge 0f 7h3 INt3rN37"I cannot stand it when people write like this! I am more upfront with how I speak and or type and for people to complicate it simply is annoying. Sure it gives a little fun into a simple statement but still what's the point of writing something…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Deena Bishop's blog post House Chores After Work = Bad For Your Health?!"Relaxation is needed! Think about it. Who is going to do chores right after a stressful day and do it correctly or even willingly?? I know with all the stress I had this year I have put more alone time to just recollect my thoughts and it usually…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I feel that all this talk about the world ending is just an other thing to give people news to look forward to. of course our world is not in the best condition, but if the world were to end we would see drastic changes and more scientific fact…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Alanna Krivanek's blog post Video Games or Outdoor Games?"Out Doors for sure. I feel that kids lose social skills from being inside so much. I love being outside and honestly it is better to experience reality then programed life on a screen."
Aricela Marquez commented on sabrina nash's blog post Osama is dead...let's see the pictures?"I am the type of person who won't believe it until I see it, but then again the government does have solid points as into why they do not want to release photos. There are a lot of knowledge citizens do not know, and sometimes what we…"
Aricela Marquez commented on Ashlyn Jensen's blog post The Terminator Terminates His Marriage and Possibly Career???"I feel that infidelity is so common among celebrities and political representatives that it is almost expected. Of course the aftermath is never easy to take especially among the spouse who has to go through the embarrassment of…"
Mike Artov commented on Aricela Marquez's blog post Where There is Black&White There is Gray, Not Just Your GPA"I also agree but, in this time of age, people usually base other people off how intelligent the other is. If a kid that has a 4.0 talks to a kid getting a 1.5, the connection between the two could be bad because the kid that reads(4.0 student) could…"
Gary Anderson commented on Aricela Marquez's blog post Where There is Black&White There is Gray, Not Just Your GPA"You are absolutely right.
In 2008, I was asked to write an article for the Kentucky English Bulletin with advice for new teachers. The piece was entitled "The Good Start": Twelve Targets for New Teachers." …"
Aricela Marquez posted a blog postWhere There is Black&White There is Gray, Not Just Your GPA
As years continue and with life right ahead of us our priorities tend to shift in different directions. It is drilled into our minds that receiving an education, working towards a promised career, and settling down then leading into creating a family are the main priorities in life. We seem to forget the decision is up to us if they stay in that order or even take place. With teen pregnancy rising, changes in family statuses, and our economic system falling apart there is no question as…See More
Aricela Marquez commented on Alex Konrath's blog post Commercials"I will proudly say that I am one to have the urge to throw my remote at the T.V when a commercial ruins the story line of a show. I especially hate the ones that we know have no chance in making money considering the quality of the commercial…"

Mind Over Age or Age Over Mind?
In today’s world age requirements and limits are becoming more difficult to set and follow. Of course we have the basics: Driving age=16, Age of consent (in Illinois) =17, Smoking age=18 and Drinking age=21. We have these because we believe when anyone has met the set age for each privilege they are capable of taking in the responsibility that is needed for it. But are these requirements correctly chosen for the future? As time goes on the mind set of children, teens, and adults are changing…

Money or Passion?
Junior year is the time in our high school career where we have to start getting serious about our future. With ACT's and college applications around the corner the life choice of our future occupations can no longer be delayed. But what exactly is the right choice? Money or Passion? In our world today money has become everything. Without money there is no chance in living a life wanted to be lived. Considering the sad fact that economic stability is very difficult to achieve the want for…

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 :)"

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
