Welcome to the Class Blog! Here, you can share your thoughts about the topics we discuss in class each week. At times, I will post a question or comment that you can respond to....other times, you can post your own questions or comments. Remember, this is a class website and NOT your Facebook or MySpace pages. All comments posted to the site must be appropriate and respectful! Absolutely NO CURSE words should be used on this site. With that said....have fun and tell us what's on your mind. -- Mrs. Hurley
Thoughts of the Week

1. Can you be honest with yourself?
As people, we spend a lot of time looking at and judging other people. However, we rarely look and judge ourselves. When's the last time you thought about the kind of person you are.....the good and the bad? Tell us about you....what is your greatest strength and what is your greatest weakness?

2. College or NOT
Do you think that all people should go to college? Why or Why not. What are the benefits of college and what are the benefits of being an entrepreneur or choosing a career that doesn't need college.

3. If you had to choose.....
If you had to choose one of your 5 senses(sight, taste, touch, hearing, smell) to live without, which one would you choose and why? Before you answer, consider all of the tasks that you have to do with that particular sense. For example, if you choose sight.....you will not be able to drive. Think carefully...then share your thoughts.

4. Education Week
DId you know that every 26 seconds, a student drops out of school? Why do students leave school? What options are available for them after they leave. Also, who is responsible if a student is not doing well---teachers, the students or the parents? What role does each person play in student success?

5. Chicken or Egg?
You've heard the expression,"What came first, the chicken or the egg?" Tell me which one. In order to get credit for this response, your answer must be related to something scientific. Think about what you know about the world and in science.

7. Bullying
Most people think bullying is threatening someone or beating them up everday, but it is much more. Look at the picture and read about bullying. Once you've read it....answer this question....Have you ever been a bully (and have you been one recently)? Without giving any names, give the situation. How do you think your behavior has affected this person? Would you like it if someone did it to you?

8. First Week of School
For most of you, this is your first time in high school. How was your first week? Tell us about your experiences (good, bad, challenges, new friends, etc.). For older students, tell us how this year compares to last year. Either way, read some of your friends' comments. See if you had some of the same experiences.
