"I think the driving age should stay at 16.There are teens who do drive irresponsibly, but that's their own fault sometimes. There maybe should just be changes with the course and tests they take in order to recieve a license."

Allison Dunnington commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"I think it's the driver's education courses that are causing the problem. We should learn how to handle the car when it's fishtailing on ice or if the weather is really bad, because let's face it, everyone can press the gas…"

Mike hoffman commented on John Miller's blog post The cycle of greed"I agree with that, it has to be greed. i mean if everyone shared, which wont happen, everyone would be better off!"
Rachel Baum commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"I actually think making the driving age 18 is a terrible idea. When you're 18, you are getting ready to go off to college, so what's the point of learning to drive? You're most likely not gonna have a car on campus until your at least…"

Mike hoffman commented on Amy Ruiz's blog post To Give OR Not To Give?"don't give!!! i think its kind of creepy walking up to a guy and saying here take my money! and besides its probably going to drugs or alcohol. i would give him food but of course mccusker found out the hard way on that so no thanks."
Mike hoffman commented on Lauren Chemello's blog post Why Don't Most Teachers Let Students Sleep In Class?"i think its a bit of both. we should start later and go to bed earlier. i mean if we can sleep in and get more sleep that would be awesome, and maybe some sleeping in class i mean its not as funny if we dont wake anyone up!"
Mike hoffman commented on Nikki Troia's blog post Is Facebook taking over our lives?"i don't think so because well i don't use it. i don't know anyone that is on their all the time. i mean we do use it a lot for those that do but i dont think that it is taking over our lifes."
Mike hoffman commented on Alison Hagan's blog post On Arizona's New Laws On Immigration"This is a totally racist bill. i mean common your disrespecting CITIZENS even if they earned it by taking the test. i feel so frustrated by this law now that it is. it should be removed by the supreme court!"
Mike hoffman commented on Sara Isaacs's blog post End of the Year Craziness!"i agree with you jacek that teachers sometimes do need to learn to manage for example Mr. McCusker. Sorry but he likes to talk a lot, but that doesn't mean i don't like it. And thanks for all the inspiration to stay going!"

Mike hoffman commented on Jacek Cioch's blog post Does privacy still exist?"i think that privacy is becoming more rare as the more we are willing to give up for things we want. i agree with lexi when you whouldn't even put stuff up there if you dont want others to see it."
Mike hoffman commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?"i believe it will be a while for it to go away if it goes away. unfortunately theirs always going to be someone that thinks their better than everyone else."
Danny Vasilev commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"It should stay at 16. But like what the above comments said it should be tougher to get a license. Maybe a test that really tests your driving skills instead of driving for 5 minutes with the instructor and passing the test."
Nick Klein commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"I don't think that the age minimum should be necessarily moved to 18, but there should definately be an increased difficulty in getting a drivers license."
Jacek Cioch commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"moving it to 18 is stupid but making the laws harsher should be enforced. Now that everyone is in the texting phase, I sit behind drivers where I see their head look at their phone by their lap constantly and they don't know what's going…"
lexibarwacz commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"i think each person is different and a lot of 16 year olds are responsible drivers and if some teens arent the best drivers they shouldnt get there license untill 18, not everyone is a bad driver and we all shouldnt have that privelge taken away…"
Mike Leahy commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"I don't think they should move it to 18 because, maybe i am the only one, but I didn't get into a car crash when i was 16(knock on wood). If you don't drive like a maniac, then you won't crash."
Joey Marasco commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"I don't think they should move itto 18 either, i think they should just make the tests and everything harder. We've all taken driver's ed and taken the tests and everything, and to be honest i think its just too easy to get your…"

Driving license: move it to 18?
We've all heard about the Illinois legislature changing the license age from 16 to 18. Now I know most of us are really unhappy about that. I know that most of us need our license to do stuff like going to the mall or hanging out with friends and getting out of the house. I know I use it to get out of the house a lot and to get things done that I need to get done, not depending on my parents.
But there still is that one thing that all adults are worried about. Us teenagers getting into…

ACT: American College Testing
So, junior year, we all know what that means: ACT testing, and the hardest year of high school. Well isn’t that fun? But how does this really help you? Does this really tell us what we are like and our capabilities? NO. IT DOESN’T. There are so many more factors that come into play when deciding to let us into your college. There is character, intellect, grades, how hard you study,…

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
