Stand And Deliver

I really liked this movie because it was about this group of kids that were coming from poor schools and were encouraged to learn stuff that they did not get during middle school.It was also about race because they were Latino and they thought that Latinos would cheat on the test.The story was bassed on a true story.Those kids worked really hard to study for the AP test and also came in the summmer.they stayed late and came at 6 in the morning to summer school.They all passe and they went on to college.I really recommened this movie to people who like happy stories.

Big Test

TAKS testing is next week! How do you feel about the TAKS test? Are you excited? Are you nervous? Are you going to do something special when TAKS is over?
I am kind of freaked out but I am going tokick the CRAP out of the taks test.Yes I am excited but it is stupid because it just takes a whole day out of the week that you have learned over the year.Yes I am nervous because I see other people finishing early and I say to my self I need to take my time and don't rush.Yes When I get my scores in and if I pass I will go celebrate at Gattie town or at Austin Parks and Pizza.

iPads for kids

What is your opinion of students using technology like the iPad in their classroom? What are some advantages of this type of technology? What are some of the disadvantages?
My opinion is that you can use the Ipad in class because you don't need paper or pencil to bring to the class .Some disadvantages are that you might get addicted to the Ipad and want to use and rile on it for the rest of your life.Some others are that you will not want to write any more and only type for homework and tests.That was my opinion on the article.

    Blogging about blogging

         Pretend you are at a school where blogging is not allowed. What would you say to school administrators to get them to change their minds? What are some reasons blogging is good for students? What are some of the disadvantages of blogging? Please write at least 5 sentences. Sentences should not start with and, or, but, or because. Your thoughts should be clear and you should support your opinions with facts or personal experiences.


       What I would say was that is not fair because you need to be able to write fast and for people to understand your hand writing.When you are going to send a letter out to these people to say thank you and they can't understand your handwriting,now thats a problem.You might depend on the spell check through your whole life and when you get to college and there is no spell check allowed you are in big trouble.But any ways that is my opinion.Thats my blog.
