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…"
Ashlyn Jensen commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"Thinking about college, litterally gives me anxiety. I dont know if its the fact that I have no idea what I do, or if Im just freaked out thinking about it. All I know is that I avoid it like the plague. I really have no idea what I'll do when…"
Justin Park commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"I Honestly do not know what my plan is for college and I have been trying to avoid it for a while. Most teens truely are not ready for college. Thankfully there is so many different options and plans to choose from, but then again that could just…"
megan majewski commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"i believe alot of kids think they are ready for college, but aren't at all. but in reality they have to be no matter what because they cant depend on their parents any longer. the real world is coming faster than they think…"

Connor Bieda commented on Halle Gitelson's blog post Summer Jobs"Personally I just hang back and relax but thats only because of other commitments, but I think kids should have jobs to learn what its like to have a job because those tools will help later in life."
Connor Bieda commented on Lauren Andersen's blog post Year-Round School: the modern school of today"I would personally dislike it because the summer gives us the opportunity to recharge and have fun."
Connor Bieda commented on Alanna Krivanek's blog post Video Games or Outdoor Games?"I agree with josh because during outdoor sports you are more hands on and you are not only learning the games but you are learning how to work with a team."
Connor Bieda commented on Carly Mckay's blog post Hello, Youtube! Welcome to Fremd."I have used it many times throughout school and not once used it for a academic reason, but I think it should have never been blocked in the first place."

Grace Stapleton commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"I am not ready. I still want to take the ACT again at least once, maybe twice. Some Juniors graduate early and I could not be able to do that. I want to enjoy high school while I can. Maybe next summer I'll be ready but now, no."
Connor Bieda commented on Michael Weber's blog post Should Finals be Important?"I think finals should be optional for 2nd semester because they can either help or kill your grades which in turn helps or kills your gpa, so i think it should be up to you."

College..Ready or Not?
Since we all just took the ACT and most of us have received our scores, I began to contemplate college life. Am I really going to be ready to leave home next year when I will be barely 18 years old?
Most of us think we are prepared for a 4-year college, but are we really? Many of us are used to the constant supervision by our parents and from experience I know that the second teenagers experience this type of freedom they…

Aluminum or Wood?
Throughout out many years of college and high-school baseball, there has been a constant debate of whether to continue to use aluminum bats or to switch to wood bats. Both options provide certain positives and negatives, for instances aluminum bats provide much more "whip" action at contact which in turn makes the ball travel further and faster. Having the ball travel faster creates a…

Textbooks- a thing of the past?
One of the biggest trends in technology is mobility. Combine that with the potential for saving money in the long run, providing students with up to date information at a faster rate and portability and you have a situation that makes mobile devices such as Kindles,…

College vs. Pro Draft
Every year high school and college athletes have to decide whether to go into the draft or to continue getting education and finish their college academic career instead of starting their sports career. These athletes have to make decisions at the age of 18 and 19 that will affect the rest of their lives. Personally I think that entering the draft is a terrible choice because once these athletes end their sports careers they will have… 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
