My other article was from the fischbowl called speaking from the soul. The article was about how people are afraid of voicing their opinion or their work because they are scared of how it will be accepted. I thought that this was a very common issue I think that it is a bad this that people are afraid of showing their work., I think that instead of having the media or other people criticize the work if they don’t like it give suggestions or don’t say anything at all. There will be nothing that people can do about being nervous of showing their work besides just practicing showing it. This was a very odd thing because in the article it talked about a teacher who actually was brave enough to tell everyone that she was afraid of posting her work. I used to be terrified of going up to present but ever since I have gotten older and had more practice in school and hockey it doesn’t bother me anymore.

I read the article in the Denver post about a man who was convicted for a second degree murder charge. He later escaped and has been out for 32 years; he was caught just last week. This article made me wonder about how secure the prisons really are; if it takes the authorities this long to find someone what are they really doing with the money we pay them through taxes. This also brings up the issue of putting people who are really innocent in jail and letting the people who are really guilty stay out and commit other possibly more serious crimes. This article made me really wonder how the judicial system has gotten so messed up. This affects me more than probably anyone in the class because my dad is facing having to have work release for something that happened in a hockey game and easily could have been avoided by the player wearing a 20 dollar face mask. This makes me mad because the authorities should be spending more time finding people who they know are guilty instead of convicting more people who might not be guilty. This also reminds me of the story to kill a mocking bird because like in the book the authorities are worrying about something that may be a lie when something more serious is actually happening.

I read the blog about technologically illiterate teachers on the fischbowl. I think that in this day and age if you don’t know how to work a computer you shouldn’t think that it is cute and you shouldn’t get special privileges. If you don’t know how to you are way behind and won’t be able to function any were as well as others around you with that skill. I also think that pretty soon you will hardly even have to write because everything will be done on the computer. If you don’t know how to type, or do basic things on a computer you really should because it is just a waste of time in class if you need the students to tell you how to do you job and it makes you look and feel stupid.

I read about the shooting at cherry creek high school by the Denver post. And I think that it is not dangerous to any of the students there because they were fired at night when no one was there. I also think that the situation was blown way out of proportion because the articles title makes you think that someone shot a student when that wasn’t the case. I think that the police should investigate the crime and take the person to court and se what happens from there.
