"Mr Widlowski was my source. He told us that once we were out of that class we will not know what is going on in the world and he is right. I do hear some of the news when I'm in the car on the radio and I do watch some funny talk shows (even…"

Haley Bohl commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??
Phil Schroeder commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"No I totally agree Liz. I feel like we need to be more aware of what's going on in our world, locally and internationally. What happens when we're not in American Studies everyday? How we will be able to make decisions for ourselves and…"

Big Mama Thornton: "Hound Dog"
"I am blown away be her. Not many people can belt like she can!! I wish there was more music like hers today."
Liz Dickerson commented on Corinne Chapman's blog post Inappropriate for 7 year-olds?"When I saw this I was more impressed with how well they were dancing then thinking about how it was inappropriate. I think thats all people think about when they see something like this, but they need to realize that its just dancing. They are not…"
Liz Dickerson commented on Connor McWard's blog post Is Jay Gatsby hot?"hahah this is fantastic!! i do think that he is hot... in an old guy kind of way :)"
Liz Dickerson replied to Gary Anderson's discussion William Faulkner: The Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech"I LOVE this speech. It was so moving and inspirational. Its a good thing to live your life by and it has really impacted the way i think about life greatly. I know now that fear in never the answer and I am capable of doing anything I want."
Liz Dickerson replied to Gary Anderson's discussion Alyse Liebovich: "It Seems Wrong to be Happy""I found this very eye opening. I liked how it was an actual persons thoughts and what a normal person went through and how they dealt with this tragedy."
Liz Dickerson commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?"I do not think that racism will ever go away. Somewhere there will always be someone who dislikes someone else because of who they are. It hard to think about but its the truth."
Liz Dickerson commented on Mari Saunes's blog post Pros and cons of having the Final Review online."I don't know. Personally, I think that it is helpful because I lose all of my papers and its nice to know that I can't lose it and it will always be in the same place."
Liz Dickerson commented on Paige Daigle's blog post FOOD: What's going on?"That is really bad especially when everyone is saying how we need to help with the world hunger crisis. Well for starters they could not pig out all the time. Ew I would puke if I ate any of that food. >:p"
Liz Dickerson commented on Alex Hepler's blog post Age Profiling."I do think that age profiling is bad. If you think about it it is the same as race profiling. I mean its someone making assumption based on who your are. Technically now both of those are illegal and a cop can't do anything without probable…"
Liz Dickerson commented on Nicole Lee's blog post GLEE: the new sensation"OH MY GOLLY GOSH!!! I am like the hugest gleek ever!!!!! Its probably, in my opinion one of the best shows on t.v. right now. The way that arrange all of the music is PHENOMENAL!!! I could listen to them sing all day!!! Rachel is my favorite…"
Liz Dickerson commented on Noelle Lurie's blog post No Technology!?...How Depressing..."I think that this is one of the sad things about today. We rely so much on our technology that if we ever lost it we would not be able to function. Its kind of sad and pathetic how much of influence technology plays on our life but what are we going…"
Liz Dickerson commented on Gary Anderson's blog post UP FRONT OPINIONS: Why Do Some Students Get a Bonus for Earning D's?"I have found in researching colleges that most colleges prefer that you get a C or a B in an advanced class over and A in a normal class. I don't think it is really fair because people in a not AP class are working just as hard and they…"
Connor McWard commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"Haha that video makes me laugh every time. I don't read a lot of newspapers or watch the news, I think that would help me know what's going on in the world."
Audrie Kim commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"I'm horrible! I don't ever watch the news. I only know the news through friends and adults. I think the only reason why I know what's happening is through the internet and people. I totally agree that teens should know more about the…"
Kelsey Carlson commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"i try to watch the news everyday. I want to be informed of what's going on around me. It's a good way to know how the world is working around us. I watch WGN, it talks about global and local news, but even I never heard about the whole…"
Rachel Baum commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"I for one am not a fan of the news or media because I think it's boring. I do agree, though, that we should know more about whats going on in foreign countries. Msybe in school we should stop learning on the past and focus on now, because…"
Emily Fujii commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"I personally don't watch the news because I find it very repetitive with the same stories. I do think that people should be aware of major happenings in the world that directly effect us though. As US citizens I think we should know what our…"
Nikki Troia commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"Ill admit im one of those people that has really no idea what going on in the world and i rarely watch the news unless its for the weather. But i think thats its good to be informed about whats happening in the world and I probably should watch it…"

What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??
Today in class Mr. McCusker was talking about the new threat that North Korea now poses against us. I ,for one, was completely shocked, to now know that something that large and important was going on, it scared me a lot. I didn’t know what scared me more, that fact that it happened or that fact that I didn’t know about it. I got me thinking, do we as teenagers, need to be more aware of what…

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
