Jack Andersen commented on Jack Finis's blog post The Masters"My grandpa is a starter at Kemper Lakes Golf Course and my uncles own a golf store, so our family has a lot of people interested in golf. Yet, nobody has ever gone. I feel like attending would be amazing, the course is beautiful and I've heard…"
Haley Bohl commented on Jack Finis's blog post The Masters"my dad is so into golf and i used to golf too when i was younger. i think golf is really cool and shows that practice makes thing good. love being outside and i think its great that the courses are really nice to look at and good for the earth."
Ryan Woodman commented on Jack Finis's blog post The Masters"My dad used to be really into golf, so he used to take me out to the driving range to shoot some golfballs. I remember wanting to compete one day, but then again that was when I was 6 years old, and times have changed, haha. I still find it somewhat…"
Jack Finis replied to Gary Anderson's discussion Who's the Most Interesting U. S. President?"I'm going to have to agree with Michael here on Thomas Jefferson. I mean, before this class, I had no idea about his life. The whole Sally Hemings deal totally surprised me too!"

Why Columbine? NY Times bestseller explains killers' motives for Columbine shooting
"I agree with Mike here. It was amazing how he didnt just straight up tell us what happened but he saw it all through there eyes and basically asked himself what would I do if I were one of them."
Jack Finis commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Loser Like Me"I totally agree with Davy. Growing up is all about maturity and still trying to find ourselves and what our true identity is. School is just another activity where people can dress perfect and act perfect, but really who are they outside of school.…"
Jack Finis commented on Nick Fallico's blog post Dubstep WOMPS everyone"Nick, I love your post almost as much as you love dubstep. Cinema is definitily my favorite here! Also, your whomp whomp's remind me of your bass-filled skull candies."
Jack Finis commented on Carly Mckay's blog post Will Japan's Crisis Affect the U.S.?"Especially in my household, this tragedy has affected us. Hard to believe because Japan is so far away. My mom lives there when she was younger for 7 years due to her dad's international work for General Electric. To see all these photos and…"
Jack Finis commented on Halle Gitelson's blog post Reality TV all real?"I do admit, I love reality shows, but at the same time, how could I where something is so "preplanned"? Maybe a few lines arnt written out but the idea of the episode is not a surprise to the cast themselves."
Jack Finis commented on Connor Bieda's blog post Aluminum or Wood?"I do believe this should all stay the same. Until college comes around and kids actually start of thinking of the MLB they should stick with the aluminum bats which is a definite reminder of what level they play on."
Jack Finis commented on Michael Weber's blog post Angry Birds is Helping You?"I agree with Robin, also. Yes, these games keep you and your brain awake and thinking but it literally doesnt make you "smarter" to any degree. If anyone sees a game like this one must complete in real life then I'd love to know."
Jack Finis commented on Nora Geissler's blog post ACT Prep, I’m Reaching the Breaking Point!"I agree with everyone else here. I do take a prep class but like Nick said, it is always half-effort. To me I never want to tke the time to actually sit down and do this work. I just want this all to finish!"
Jack Finis replied to Gary Anderson's discussion Tools to Spiff Up Your Blog Posts"Yeah i agree with Alex. It's amazing how far these programs have come. Although they look very cool, the tough part is to actually make them yourself..."

College Football Playoff: Good or Bad?
Still in contention for next college football season is the controversial decision: college football playoff, yes or no? Along the lines of making this decision, one must take in to effect the pros and cons. Just because the fans want a playoff system, the committee cannot be biased towards that. To start off with some pros, this effect would bring college football into conformity with all other major sports in the category of having a playoff system. Basically, we would have ONE winner in the… Continue

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
