"This building was one of my favoritesbecause of the fact that the building itself kind of reflected the other buildings around it."
Patrick Norman commented on Darby Douglas's blog post The Significance of Tan Skin...What is it?"i think its stupid for people to go to tanning salons. to me its a waste of money and it causes skin cancer. why would some one in their right mind pay to eventually have cancer. doesn't seem right to me"
Patrick Norman commented on Megan Teschner's blog post What's the point of summer reading??"i think it makes a lot of kids not want to read and it loses the meaning of reading. if we could choose what books we read, people would actually read instead of waiting until the week before to read the book on sparknotes."
Patrick Norman commented on Ryan Woodman's blog post Is it music if you don't use a guitar?"i just think that this kind of "music" is not considered music becuase it could take me probably a day to figure out how to use these softwares. Actual musicains need to have talent."
Kaity Drahos commented on Patrick Norman's blog post False Sense of Security?"Although I hate the IDs, I understand why we have them. However, it makes me so angry that they are SO strict about wearing them, but we can clearly see that they don't really check. How hard would it be for someone to put a card on a lanyard?…"
Patrick Witt commented on Patrick Norman's blog post False Sense of Security?"I think it's fine that they want you to show your ID as you walk into school, but throughout the day, you really shouldn't be forced to have it around your neck. I think they should enforce making sure they see everyone has their school ID…"
Katie Hughes commented on Patrick Norman's blog post False Sense of Security?"I dont mind the ID's but I think that they're not necessary. It would be nice if we could just have a school ID but keep it in our bags and not have to wear it round all day while hall monitors stand there looking for someone to yell that…"
Alex Konrath commented on Patrick Norman's blog post False Sense of Security?"I think the ID policy is a scam, i hardly ever wear my ID anywhere and it dosent really create any protection. The ID policy does nothing but take money from our pockets and create some stupid thing we must wear around our neck. Now that i am done…"

False Sense of Security?
As many of you walk around Fremd, you probably notice that most people don't even wear their IDs. I wanted to know if these IDs help the security of Fremd. I wanted to know if there was a real reason to wear these IDs. So in order to do this, I decided I would test the security policy. When I thought of ways to test it the best way that came to mind was to wear an old ID card instead of the one from Fremd.
So one day I would walk into school with my old Park District ID card.…

Standards Set Too Low
After being hit by a 9.0 scale earthquake, a nuclear facility was near a meltdown. This could be tragic if the plant were to cause a melt down. The Japanese government has been trying hard to keep this building from overheating by dumping water from the Pacific Ocean into the nuclear reactor. This is to keep the reactor from spewing out radiation like a snowstorm.

The Notorious Phone
Did you know that teens between age 16 and 20 are three times more likely to get into car accidents? So statistically speaking 75 out of 100 car crashes are caused by teens or invole teens. According to The Department of Transportation, in 2008, there were 80 young drivers, 39 passengers of young drivers, 37 occupants of other vehicles, and 8 non-occupants who were killed in car crashes. This comes to a staggering total of 164 people.
What are some of these causes? One of them is…

Global Warming: Myth or Truth?
Everyone knows at least something about the globe and how we are ruining it. Yet, most peoople don't know whether it was caused by humans or if it is just a normal cooling phase of the earth. Truth is, humans have a huge impact on the globe. This is our home and we need to take better care of the earth.
Humans, as a race, have caused the earth damage by creating a hole in the o-zone layer. This layer is causing radiation from the sun to be trapped causing a greenhouse gas effect, meaning… 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 :)"

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
