Kaity Drahos commented on megan majewski's blog post Air That Dirty Laundry."I think reality tv is basically making us dumber. I'm not saying I don't watch all these shows, I definitely do, but when we do we suddenly see people doing things and saying things that we wouldn't expect. We sit around waiting for…"
megan majewski posted a blog postAir That Dirty Laundry.
One of the most interesting aspects of America today is pop culture and how it influenced the lifestyles of current American teens. In the early 2000's the trend of reality TV began to surface. Initially the shows on TV were competition shows where participants competed for a final outcome such as getting the bachelor or losing the most weight. As time went on, the shows evolved to a "slice of life" approach where there awas a focus on the personal lives of participants. like for example,…See More

megan majewski commented on Deena Bishop's blog post House Chores After Work = Bad For Your Health?!"thank god someone did a study on it, so your parents cant yell at you for being lazy after school when honestly you are tired and dont want to do anything. after 6 or more hours of learning and other things relaxing is all that…"
megan majewski commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"i believe alot of kids think they are ready for college, but aren't at all. but in reality they have to be no matter what because they cant depend on their parents any longer. the real world is coming faster than they think…"
megan majewski commented on Ben Perkins's blog post Summer Fever"i hate when teachers leave everything for the end of the year. personally, i have done about half of what i had to do for the last month of school and i feel like the workload has gotten bigger. the summer is what i have been craving…"
megan majewski commented on Carly Mckay's blog post Hello, Youtube!

megan majewski commented on Michael Weber's blog post Should Finals be Important?"i think finals are an awful idea. finals really affect some kids grades in big ways, which is not good. i dont think tests all the way at the end of a semester should have that much power over grades. you should work hard all year and not have…"
megan majewski commented on Alanna Krivanek's blog post Video Games or Outdoor Games?"i definitely agree with this. i used to see kids outside at every house down the street when i was a kid, but now everyone is inside. its sad to see that video games and computer have surpassed the fun of just going outside and having a…"
megan majewski commented on Lauren Andersen's blog post Year-Round School: the modern school of today"the year round school system sounds nice, but i think everyone is so used to the summer off system that it would be too big of a change. i think summer is the perfect time for a break because of weather and timing, so i think we should…"

Omg, that`s so...
Go ahead, finish this sentence. What were you going to put at the end? We all know what you were going to say because we all were going to say the same exact thing; gay. "Oh my gosh, that`s so gay!" How many times a day do you hear this coming from your peers or even your mouth? Does anyone ever think about what we are really saying these days. This line that something is "gay" is offensive and the wrong thing to say. Have you ever thought about what someone who is actually gay feels like…

high school on television..realistic or fiction?
We have all seen about one hundred movies and shows based on high school and thought to ourself, this doesn `t really happen? For example girls aren't really mean as they are portrayed or that dorky girl and that stud don`t ever get together and fall in love. Even though scenes like this are dramatized for the viewer, most of the ideas are based on real ones. I watch a show Degrassi, which is about a high…

Do you cheer for the chief?
If you all know who I am, you know I am a HUGE Blackhawks fan, and I bet there are many more of you in this class. Some of you might be Cleveland indian fans or Washington redskin fans or even University of Illnois fans. And I bet like I do about every time they have a game, you represent the team by wearing a shirt or sweatshirt, or someting with possibly their mascot on it. All of these teams and many more have a native American as their mascot. And if you ask me, I like having them as my… 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 :)"

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
