By: RJ ThomasAfter a long series of increasingly frequent and violent mass shootings, Congress is finally starting to make a push for action on gun control. While they recognize that a complete removal of guns is neither a viable nor a smart move, they do understand that something needs to be done to ensure that these deadly weapons stay out of the wrong hands.

By: Chris WrightMany of the “popular” shows listed on Netflix seem like a good watch at first glance or even when reading the synopsis, but many viewers—including myself—find that only a few episodes in, politics and outside influences have found their way into the seams of the story and have woven something entirely different from what it set out to be. Shows that had a strong, intriguing premise and writers to back them up ended up falling flat with viewers due to over politicization or just plain meddling with a story to add more “relatable drama” to it. By: Lisbeth SeguraHere at Wilson High School, the students are privileged to be offered twenty-three different Advanced Placement (AP) courses, from AP Chinese to AP Government and Politics to AP Music Theory, students have a diverse pool of choices. What makes AP courses different from a College Prep and even an Honors course is that the content in the curriculum is created by College Board, and a final exam is given in May for college credit. The test takes a minimum of three hours (time can vary depending on the class and test), and for most students the price is between $94 and $142. Here at Wilson, students taking an AP course are required to sit for the exam if they choose not to take the exam, the weight drops from an AP weight to an Honors weight. An AP course is considered a college-level class that requires a lot of dedication and time, more so than an Honors and a CP course. The question is: if a student takes an AP Course, does all the required work and has a good grade in the class, is it fair to change the AP weight of the class, and make it an Honors class weight if the student decides to opt out of the test? |
