I don't really know how I feel about students taking a year off before going off to college. I feel that it would be smart to go right after high school, because they wouldn't have lost as much knowledge about the things that they might need to know from their previous years. If they go right after high school they wont get distracted with other things and have the possibility of not going to college they could get a job or something and not have time to go. So I think that students should go to college instead of taking a year off before going to college. There are so many things that could happen that would make high school graduates put off going to college more and more if they would take off the first year. Getting a job and having deadlines for things like bills if they start to live on their own could make them not be able to go because of the things and the responsibilities that they would have to take care of. I think that high school graduates shouldn't take a year off before going off to college I feel that they would be better prepared for it that way be prepared for what is expected of them. For example the time periods in which they would have to get up to make it to class on time so they wont miss things that could be really important. They would remember more information that is needed from the previous years to help them with there studies. High school graduates if they take off that year to do other things they wouldn't be as prepared as people who go straight to college after high school they would have forgotten a lot of material that could be beneficial to them and there skills that are needed for college such as note taking skills that they need.

    Mixed Ink

    Mixed Ink is our class blog, the window into our souls. It was designed to improve students' writing, critical thinking and communication skills by giving them a platform to provide meaningful content based on their interpretation of what they see.

    Although the students receive a grade based on a rubric for completing this assignment, they are not graded on complexity of thought. This is a place where students of all levels can freely, confidently and creatively express themselves and their opinions in a nonjudgmental platform. They are required to respond to and critique each other, but degradation, slander, lewdness, etc., will not be tolerated. 

    Bridge Builders

    All subjects are vital to learning, but  English is the bridge of communication. So let's build the arch, one word at a time...
