Dear Editor,
I completely agree with every single opinion you placed in this editorial. I believe it is so unreasonable that today's society looks at school shootings as a normal occurrence. Like you stated in your article, no shooting situation should be normal. As I was reading this, my heart skipped a beat when I saw that...

Dear Editor,
I disagree, I understand people being uncomfortable with the recordings, but their going to a server like you said. It's not like an agent is going to listen in on your conversation about how work was. I'd say if your the small percentage of the population who is a criminal or a politician you should be...

Dear editor,
I agree with the editorial. I believe it highlights the harmful effects of frequent juuling and spreads awareness of the new, potentially harmful drug. I think it’s too early to see the effects of juuls and if they are anything like cigarettes they can be devastating towards young, developing brains. Although...

Dear Editor,
I strongly agree with the claim that President Trump should not end the DACA program, which is expressed by the author of this article. Children under the age of 15 cannot even make their own decisions. Many children were brought here illegally, yes, but by their parents. They did not make the decision to immigrate...

Dear Editor,
I think that Betsy DeVos does not have what it takes to be the Secretary of Education. She does not have what it takes because she doesn't know what its like to be in a public school. She does not know what it is like to be in a middle-lower class family and not have enough money to send your children to public...

Dear Editor,
Although “Drunkorexia” may seem to be a legitimate reason as to why people are getting drunk faster, it shouldn’t be pinpointed as the only reason why this is happening to people. So many other things play into it. These are choices that able bodied people make. The decision to go out on an empty stomach...

Dear Editor,
The argument that public schools and standardized testing are shoving students in a box has been discussed increasingly throughout the years. However, public school is the minimum amount of knowledge people need to fit into society and SOLs are the lowest standard of learning to determine whether a student...

Dear Editor,
Although incorporating technology into the classroom is important, completely centering education around it is unnecessary. The more technology that we have, the more likely students are to get distracted. Having technology in the classroom doesn’t help prepare us since we are already exposed to it.

Dear Editor,
Viewing our grades is very important to us as students. We enjoy knowing exactly how we are doing in a particular class, which helps us keep up with our assignments and schedules. Therefore, the information revealed in the article was very disturbing.
Being able to track students while they are on the school...

Dear Editor,
I do not agree with the “No-Zero” policy. Why should you get points for assignments that you didn’t do? Some people actually try on assignments and they deserve good grades. But, if a student doesn’t apply themselves at all, then they shouldn’t be given a good grade. When they go into the world and tr...

Dear Editor,
We are in high school; we shouldn’t be watched, color-coded, and disciplined through unsanitary bathroom passes. The planners were so helpful last year, but this year I had to go buy my own. If the school is trying to save money for other school activities, what are they using the money for? So many people are...

Dear Editor,
Even though tanning causes major damage to the skin, girls and some boys are still doing it. As a redhead, I tend to burn because of my fair skin, but when I tan indoors I don’t burn. Yes, I am guilty of indoor tanning, but I only do it to be accepted. People tell me I look like a ghost or invisible, so I tan....
