Robin de Freitas commented on Megan Teschner's blog post Cursive: Where is it headed?"The title should be, where is typing headed. Because that's what's going to be implemented.. contrary to belief."
Robin de Freitas commented on Danny Vasilev's blog post World War 2 In School"Danny Vasilev is correct. Sometimes it feels like, even this year, that we look at the less important stuff for way longer than we should. and not enough with important things."
Robin de Freitas posted a blog postThe gym, and its etiquette.
Have you ever stepped foot inside a gym? The beauty of them is... They vary. There's your average YMCA or lifetime fitness with old people and their personal trainers showing them how to do a lift and to get "toned", to stepping into a gold's gym or the like and being blown back by the intensity. It really is a cool experience being part of it. You build bonds, and you get huge. How can that get any better? Now, there is one major thing that can completely ruin a gym experience for you and your…See More

Robin de Freitas commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I have have little idea what I want to do in college, that's what makes it difficult for me to find where I want to go. I don't know which college is the best path for me for whatever I want to pursue later in life. But it's time to…"

Davy Mellado commented on Robin de Freitas's blog post Tipping for services"Heck, that goes into your description of your job. If your just a nice boy parking cars, they wont give you much.

Robin de Freitas commented on Michael Weber's blog post Angry Birds is Helping You?"Of course activating your brain will make your brain exactly that, more active. That doesn't mean you'll ace your test just because you activated your brain and ignored the entire lesson."
Robin de Freitas commented on Keely Ward's blog post Does school ruin reading?"If it's not my option to read, it's extremely hard to. There are only a few rare cases where what I read from school actually interests me, and in those cases I finish the book early. And get it done with."
Robin de Freitas commented on Davy Mellado's blog post a twenty-four hour life"You've said it yourself, everything but time is relative. Now, how each person chooses to lead their relative "life" is honestly up to themselves, I think your blog post is quite vague, but interesting."

Tipping for services
Imagine, you go to your job as a valet or bus boy. Working hard you have to deal with every single idiot that shows up there to have you park his car. He says " park my car up for you and I'll take care of ya". Three hours later the man shows up and gives you a dollar.
Now I'm not saying I'm personally looking for a 5 dollar tip each time, but come on. One dollar? After you say you'll take care of me. Every time I go to work in the blistering cold, all the people say "stay warm…

Well-being: The pyramid.
In today's society, not much of anybody is healthy, people always take a little too much of something; whether its food, sleep, drinking, drugs, or anything. This is not a good thing for us humans.
I don't think much of anyone knows exactly HOW to be healthy, and how to eat healthily. Let me ask you something, what's a macronutrient? Micronutrient? What do these serve? And what is the perfect carb/protein/fat/sodium balance for a young adult? My guess…

Sleep? Eh, who needs it?
In today's society, who gets sleep anyways? People are quick to think, eh we don't need sleep I run on 4 hours a day perfectly fine and I get my work done. Who needs sleep anyways? My answer to this question would be EVERYONE! Nowadays everyone around the world with commitments don't get enough sleep, society has learned to view sleep as a luxury, but in reality us as human beings need this sleep and as much of it as we can get.

At the top of the blog window, you will see two tabs. One says Visual Mode; the other says HTML. The embed codes will only work in the HTML tab. You can go back and forth between tabs, but when you're working with the code, you have to be in the HTML window. You're not alone on this one. I hope that helps. GA

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
