Kelsey Carlson posted a blog postGood vs Evil
When we watched cartoons and movies when we were little we knew who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. Even today when we watch something, the line between good and evil is distinct. But is it in real life? We learn about wars, genocide, discrimination etc. We see in here in America and hear about overseas about Iraq and even now with North and South Korea. It's just a never ending battle of the different views and what is defined as "evil"Hitler started a second world war and look…See More

Survival of the Fittest...in school??
We all have our issues walking down the hallways at school. People standing in the middle,people walking to slow,someone totally just hitting you and not even realizing it. It's survival of the fittest in the hallways. We have to get from point A to point B in 5 minutes or less and people just start blocking everyone from getting there...not so helpful. So we learn to adapt.

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 :)"

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
