I thought this website was really cool and a lot like ours. The blogs I read had some important points. One girl wrote about how she had learned the force and puke method of learning. The teachers force the information down your throat and you have to puke up the information come test day. I think the website is cool because it is a lot like our.

I suppose the person who wrote that is right. Its hard to comprehend why we learn things, and basically the reasons on why we do many things ing general.
I like how this person expressed what alot of students were thinking.

I agree temendously with the "overachiever" girl. You need to do something that you love doing, not just because you need more clubs or activities or you just need a college dean to be impressed (don't get me wrong that is always good, too) but do stuff you love and try not to overload yourself.

Great point, Sammy! I think you'll find that you need to do things because you love doing them no matter what time of life you are in. It's true for HS students and it's true as you become an adult as well. :-)

I found this website very thought provoking. It was very interesting and put what I'm sure a lot of students think everyday into words. I agree with the person who said that they didn't understand why we had to learn certian things and that still, new things are forced on us.

That site was alot like what were doing here but they had some realy neat stuff like what Anthony Chivetta posted with his whole school paper thing. Definatly a cool site though

I believe the kids on this website are pretty much doing what we do every week in English. I really thought what Samantha said in her blog 'calculated risks' about the 'Print and puke' method was interesting, though I really didn't agree with her. I also think what Stacy wrote in 'Average doesn’t cut it anymore' is very true. This website was interesting to read.

This is a really cool website. They bring up a lot of interesting things. It's good for teens like us to get out in the world and figure out these questions. This website gives kids a chance to become and think what they want.

I agree a lot with the "overachiever" girl. People should do things that they love doing not just because somebody wants you to do something or you need more clubs or activities. I think that if people choose things that they love to do then they would like school and everything else a whole lot better than when students do things because they have to.
