By Camryn Sheasley The authorization for a strike has been a long time coming, as Wilson teachers have been working under a contract that had expired in June. However, not many students expected the authorization to affect them so drastically when the teacher's union, named the Wilson Education Association (WEA), implemented a tactic to push negotiations forward. Teachers will no longer come in early to school and stay after hours, but only work the minimum required of them. This resulted in multiple clubs and other after school activities being shut down.

By Kaitlyn Fehr October 9, 2012. For most teenagers, this date means nothing, but for one teen in Pakistan, this date changed her entire life. Malala Yousafzai was only 15 years old when she was shot in the head for daring to speak out against the Taliban. Malala stood up for her right to recieve an education, and she has continued to be an activist for education since surviving that shot. While not every high schooler can be Malala Yousafzai, we can all do our part in attempting to influence politics. Current high schoolers are growing up in a generation where everything has a political motive. Movies, music, books, even TV oftentimes have political intentions behind them. In this day and age, it’s impossible for someone to not know about what is going on around them politically. By Adith Gopal It has been over a year since the 2016 presidential election took place and Republican candidate Donald J. Trump beat Hillary Clinton, garnering 306 electoral votes while Clinton gained 222 electoral votes. However, Clinton won the popular vote by over three million votes, which stirs up the question, should we continue to have the electoral college? Without a doubt, we need to keep the electoral college. By Maggie Foight In class we learn about mathematics, the way government and countries function, how to craft a perfect essay. We know how gravity works, how to graph a point from an equation and how to distinguish an animal cell from a plant cell. It’s all a part of a set system, learn this, test that, but don’t we absorb much more than facts and figures at school? |
