Today, a three year old high school philosophy club and several years old book club that I ran last year as a senior, with a couple dozen members total, has lost administration support for content and a faculty sponsor.

Really? Does education really have to go that far? I understand if the teacher sponsor is busy and needs to step out because of a more important reason, but administration not looking for another faculty sponsor and disappointing a diversity of STUDENTS that all love…

     Today was amazing! At 8:50am Me and a bunch of my fellow students rallied together in order to protest against the Luna Plan. Tom Luna is the Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction and any people all across Idaho are upset about his education reform plan. He wants to replace teachers with computers, fire all the old teachers and replace them, and increase our class sizes to 40-50 students in a class.

Homer’s Iliad, the classic tale of love and revenge, is shrewdly retold for teens in Troy High.



Narrated by Cassie, a shy outsider who fears that an epic high school rivalry is about to go up in flames, the story follows the Trojans and Spartans as they declare war on the football field. After the beautiful Elena—who used to be…

When I walk outside to my next class, I think about just making a right instead of a left and head home.

As my last class comes around, I get anxious and wish I were home.…

Yep! Yesterday I began my first day of High School. It was hard.

First: I got lost. A lot.

The school is so spread out. My homeroom is on one side of the school and my first period class is on the other. Then my second period class is right by my homeroom. It would have been easier with a map of the school. That's what my friends said. The guidance consular? Do NOT use your map. You will look like a freshman and will be teased. So…

I have been so busy with school that I haven't been in check with Nerdfighteria and when I really needed to vent, I remembered I had a blog among Nerdfighters.

Being a Harry Potter fan, I receive a lot of comments about how "stupid and childish" it is and when I attempt to defend it, I just get a lot of thick-headed responses.
