So Much Unfairness of Things

Based on the story, I think that either Jumbo, he (P.S.) will turn him in, or he will go to Colorado and forget about cheating. I believe this because P.S. feels guilty about cheating. He feels guilty about cheating because he knew that he cheated, and the punishment for cheating. Another reason why he might have been that he was tired of V.P.S., and wanted to go to another school. This is why P.S.  might turn himself in.

            Jumbo might of turned P.S. in because Jumbo is not that smart so he might cheat, and notice that P.S. was cheating. Jumbo might turn P.S. in because he saw P.S. get unauthorized assistance on the test. This is the reason why I think that Jumbo might turn P.S. in.

            The other thing that could happen is that knows one knows that P.S. cheated, and he and Charlie will go to Colorado. This could happen because P.S. was looking forward to going to Colorado for the summer. Also, his father would be proud of him for passing the Latin examination. This is why he might go to Colorado, and not turned in for cheating.

            I believe that P.S. will be turned in for cheating because there were several people in the room, therefore someone will most likely turn P.S. in.

Not Waving But Drowning

In my life, my opinion has changed about several people over the course of my life. Some examples are on of my friends Taylor and my eighth grade history teacher Mrs. Fidler.

In my life, my opinion has been changed. This person was Mrs. Fidler, my eighth grade history teacher. When I first got to Orchard in third grade up until seventh grade, I thought that Mrs. Fidler was strict and mean to all of the students. In those years, I tried to stay away from her. When I got into eighth grade though, my opinion was changed greatly. I learned that she was actually a kind and caring teacher. I also happened to feel more comfortable in her presence, unlike in the previous five years. I also learned that she is only really mean to people that haven’t reached eighth grade at Orchard yet. I felt bad that my intial impression was proved wrong.

            What I learned from this experience is that if you make an early impression on someone, then you should keep an open mind because that impression could be changed drastically. Initial experiences could hamper a friendship because you see them do one bad deed, and you believe that they always do that even though they might never do it again. I think that keeping an open mind is the best way to go after you make an early impression on someone.

Monitoring Sites with a Hawkeye

I agree that sites like Facebook, MySpace, etc. should be monitored. I think this because people shouldn’t post things that are harmful to another student, someone’s religion, the way they look, or what sport they do. I think that if someone posts something mean to someone, then that person should be suspended. I think that they should be suspended because things could hurt someone’s feelings. Also it is just like bullying someone. I also think that if an athlete posts something mean, then that person can participate in sports for the rest of the season. I disagree that senior members should monitor the sites. I think this because that senior could be related with someone post harmful things. Therefore that senior might not want their grandson or daughter to get into trouble. I think that people who know none of the students or the student’s parents should monitor the sites. If those people monitor the sites, then they will have no bias against any students. I also agree that coaches should also monitor the sites to. I think this because the coaches would know right away which one of their athletes was in trouble, whereas having to hunt down one of the people who was monitoring the site. If coaches have to hunt down one of the monitors, it could take a week, a month, or even several months.

            On the other hand though, monitoring the sites could be crossing the line of privacy of the students. But to me, monitoring the sites would be more important than the privacy of the student.

            This is the reason why I think that sites like Facebook, Myspace, and possibly even Youtube. Without these sites being monitored, students could make harmful comments to their classmates, teachers, or coaches.
