Week Four- Dumb Laws...

A state law requires that a man's female companion shall call him "master" while out on a date. The law does not apply to married couples.
This is discrimination to females. It is just like saying that males are better than females and should have all power over them.

You are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers.
What if someone is really clumsy? They might drop more than 3 or crack more than 4 by accident.

No one may catch fish with his bare hands.
The Native Americans used to do this and there is no reason people should not be able to do so now. It does not harm any animals, except the fish that is being killed.

Shoelaces must be tied while walking down the street.
What if your shoes are not made to be tied? Skateboarding shoes are a perfect example of this...young people don't usually tie skateboarding shoes, the laces are just tucked in.

You may not curse inside the city limits.
What about freedom of speech?? This is going against the constitution. People can say anything they want to and it may be unethical but it is not illegal.

Week One- How do you feel about school so far this year?

So far this year, I feel very confident about school. Being at a new school is different but fun. This school is not really anything like my old one, Roxana High School, which is good. Starting new and fresh is nice after a bad freshman year. So far my classes have not been too hard or boring and most of my teachers are really nice. This semester my favorite class is English 2 with Mr. Brigham. In that class we learn so many new things everyday and it's always exciting. Falling asleep in English is not always that hard but Mr. Briggs makes the class lots of fun. My least favorite class this semester is probably physical science with Mrs. Mohr. It's not that she is a boring teacher, because she's not, but I'm just not really into science. Other than teachers and classes, Olympia has a lot to offer: clubs, sports, and other extra curricular activities. Currently I am not in any of them but I do hope to be in a few next year, and basketball in the winter. This is what I think of school so far this year.
