Makin' Changes
by Bailey Singletary
If you read my article last week, you already know I am in favor of giving local acts more face time. I feel movies and plays shown on campus are also important. It is a plus when an organization on campus hosts events, and I think this should also be recognized. It makes closer ties between the school and its students because it shows the school knows what to bring to campus that is interesting to our generation. (3) comments
Grade schools settle for mediocrity
The Uncertainty Principle
by Hannah Kaase
The Dallas school district has completely changed its grading procedures this school year, and teachers aren't happy, according to a CNN article. Teachers are now required to let students retake any test they fail once and not even record the student's failed score. In addition to this once-abnormal practice, teachers must also allow students to turn in homework after the due date. In elementary and middle schools, only homework that improves the student's average can be recorded. Finally, teachers must contact parents before entering a zero in the grade book. (0) comments

Exceedingly few comprehend the magnitude of the identifier. An identifier is any apparatus that can classify you, your property or your actions. We increasingly see new cameras, microphones and radio-frequency identification (RFID) tracking devices appearing all of the time, so what's the big deal? Who cares if the government knows where you are? As long as you are obeying the law, you have nothing to worry about right? (0) comments
