Tacoma schools shutting down?!

So in English class we were reading an article about schools shutting down in Tacoma. I mean how cool is that? not very... All those kids that went to that school (Hunt) are being relocated to two other higher performing schools such as Mason Middle School and Truman Middle School. I just hope that the kids get lots of education like us students in Olympia. After all it's the people around the children that help them grow and succeed.
As for the school district in Tacoma... i think they're making the right decision about closing down some schools and embracing the new teaching styles for the kids benefit. Sure it might be a little spendy on cash for the adults.. but it's probably worth having your kid going to collage instead of living in a box on interstate five picking up unwanted furniture that randomly falls off of moving vans and such. I know that the schools probably had no other choices over any of the things that was going on with the schools, and yes they probably knew that their scores were low but its all being changes for the better of the learning process. Over all i think the schools are making good decisions.

That makes me wonder... if my school was a low performing school then what would I do? this question really makes you think... it would have to depend on the students environment at the campus. if it was a pigsty and had graffiti all over the walls and food fights everywhere then I would probably try and encourage the school that we need more safety and should enforce the rules more.

If Olympia high school closed down?! why would it close down!? its an amazing school with great teachers! i would not even begin to understand why they would close the school down (the district isn't going to close OHS down I'm just saying how i would feel)! I would not be happy about the school closing down at all... I'd be losing my friends who are practically family, and I'd probably go insane (not that I wasn't already). And all the great teachers I would probably never get to see ever again... Here's a link if the Tacoma school reformations and closures interest you: Tacoma schools

Hmm technology

A few days ago we watched two videos about the future with technology and how it is good for us and how it is bad for us. Also for whats going to happen when we depend on technology too much and not enough. Many things that might not even become a real treat unless invented.
one thing the video said that really hit me in the gut was the part about college...
"by your fourth year of college everthing you have learned will be obsolete." that could really hurt some people if they knew; they would probably stop trying at what their trying to achieve.
Another thing that hit me was that most of the things that kids are learning today is training for the jobs in the furture that DON'T EXIST YET! that is kind of scary to think about...

oh brother not another blog...

well, i guess i have to say stuff again cuz its required. anyways here goes.
you all know that we have been watching O BROTHER , WHERE ART THOU in class and i dont really get how its should be based upon the oddyssey, but i dont care because as long as i get a good grade im cool with it

what i found interesting in the movie was when george nelson came in in the car with all the money falling out of the car and suddenly saying,"oooh cows... I HATE COWS!" then shooting a cow near 5 to 7 times on the side, almsot killing. im sorry but that part was just sad and aggrivating. but the part that i enjoyed and thought was funny and terrible was. the part when the policemen trying to catch George Nelson ran over a cow, a full grown cow and just kinda smashed into it with their own car.
i dont know about you but that did seem quite unreal, because in reality i think it would take a wole lot more firce to actually run over the poor animal.

that would conclude my blog entry..
PEACE!

THE Epic simile

one fine day a girl strutted to class
with her long flowing hair following behind
attached to her head, was an accesory like no other,
it was a hat like no other has ever seen before.
she wore it like it was a gemstone on her finger
accept it this hat was not on her finger it was on her head.
she,
strutted right into black walled room,
noticing the strange patterns on the walls
and the strange hyroglyphics also posted there

The woman,
she stood there in great pride and boldness and said,
"Are you the one they call Hannah ALdrich?"

with that
she made her way back to her device sitting there on the table
as she pulled up the attendance sheet,once again she asked,"
Are you the one they call Hannah Aldrich or not!?!"

i was in shock, like how a dog is in shock just before
it gets hit by the train. the kill... silent

i then shook out of my parylized state
and said with afriendly but repecting voice."
yes, yes i am the one they call Hannah Aldrich"

in that i sat down in any seat and just sat for a while
----------------------------------------------------

k yea i know it sucks but i had to make do with the time i had left

act two thingy

okays, so we read in class the romeo and juliet part but we didn't finish it (which is a drag cuz it'll take forever since we keep stopping every line to see if we understand it, which takes so long), but when we got to the romeo and juleit part i found one part int he book that were reading pretty interesting. the part when romeo paints a picture and says that walls can't keep love out and he flew ove the wall of hate( or somthing like that) with wings or somting, that i found interesting. this particular part might have been what set off the path to death for the both of them. this part actually just kind of jumped into my mind and i am still trying to scratch it out if there. this i thought was a very artistic vision of that sentance.

i dont know or remember if anything like this has happened to me before but, i really dont imagin me flying over a huge wall just to seal my fate in death for the rest of my life, but still that vision is very good, i might draw that, (like i'll draw alot of things)

k im bored of this entry now
Hannah Out!
