Math Sucks!

I think that instead of hurrying through math classes from 060 to 099 each semester is not so good. I think that they should have one or two classes that maybe continue throughout an entire year or something. A few groups that might be effected are:
Students: They would have to be more dedicated to actually learning the materials rather than rushing through the lesson and learning the bare minimum that they need to pass the class. They would have to dedicate more time to math, and stick to mathe untill they were able to pass. I believe that they would understand the work much better. I have so many in my 099 class that are so lost and are either failing or passing by the bare minimum. Many students have no idea what we are doing. If teachers would slow down and maybe take a little more time on the math, less students would be in the remedial courses because they would know what they are doing, and possibly be able to skip a remedial math course the next semsester.
Parents would also be effected because they are the ones paying for their children to go to school. If their children are struggling and not passing the class because it goes to fast, then the parents have to pay another semester of that class in order for their child to pass. They also would be saved the frustration of getting angry with their child for having a bad grade in math.
Teachers would be effected because they would have to change their ciriculum. I think this would make it easier on the teachers because they wouldn't feel like their work goes in one ear and out the other. There would be less kids failing, making the teacher look great. If they were able to slow down more instead of having a certain amount they have to get through in a hurry then teachers would have to repeat themselves less and less because the students would know what is going on. It would save the teachers time and energy.

Changing the school!

I think that there needs to be more transferable classes. This would make the school more appealing to not only locals but also for those coming from out of town. There are so many of my friends from high school that did not go to NJC because they did not have the classes available at NJC! Some of them went to a larger school and did not do as well. I think everyone should have the chance to go to a junior college first to get a feel for how everything works.
I think that the remedial math classes should do something a little different. It seems that the math classes rush to get the students to where they need to be, instead of making sure they are actually learning it. I think that the classes do help refresh students for college math, but for those who are not sure what is going on they move too fast and by the time you catch one concept its on to the next. The student may pass the class, but i guarantee that they forget what they learned over Christmas break because it went so fast they they didn't fully grasp the concept.
They need to have more fun activities for all students. There are activities and groups but there are a lot of students who do not find something that interests them. They usually leave then after one semester. The students also might resort to drinking and partying, which then hurts their grades.

One of the worst movies

The Blair with project was a low quality production. The way the camera moved around constantly made me feel like I was going to be sick. The acting was horrible. The theme of the movie was not so good either. I'm not sure if it was based on a true story or not, but if it was it the producer should have picked a different story to follow.

The previews for The Blair Witch Project were actually pretty intense. I expected the movie to be one that would keep a person at the edge of their seat. When I saw the movie the acting alone took the thrill out. The story was weak and it was not as scary as the previews made it out to be. I went into the movie excited and came out wanting to break it and take it off the shelves.

I got the movie when it was a new release. It was like six dollars or something to rent the DVD. I literally wanted to take it out the first 15 minutes, but tortured myself to get through an hour of it. It was a waste of my hour and a waste of my 6 dollars. I would never spend the money to see that movie and I would advise everyone else to make that same decision.

The movie could have been better if they would have put a little bit of money to it. The acting was horrible. You don't need Grammy winning actors, but at least have someone who has natural talent or knows what they are doing. The story line just kind of seemed to start off slow and get even stupider as it went. They could have spent a little more money on graphics and backgrounds or something. The worst part about it was how it was shot. If I remember correctly the movie was suppose to be shot as if the people camping or whatever were taping it. Well, that was a stupid idea because that was thew worst part of the entire movie. I might have been able to push myself through the movie if I wasn't busy getting sick from all the spinning.

SPACEBALLS

On of my favorite movies is Spaceballs It doesn't neccisarily have my favorite actors or actresses in it but the odd humor in the movie makes me laugh. A few of the big names in the movie are Mel Brooks, John Candy,Rick Moranis, and Bill Pullman. The movie takes place in space and many strange planets. In the movie Dark Helmet attempts to steal air from another planet. It is up to a clueless rogue, a princess, and a half man half dog creature to save planet Druidia.
The movie is a mix of humor and suspense. It contiuously keeps you at the edge of your seat wondering if something extremely strange is going to pop out of someones stomach or if another strange character like pizza face or the bearded lady is going to come into play. It mixes dumb humor and things that are actually funny in a genius blend of comedy. They use extremely odd and outrageous names for everyone.
The main hook is making fun of science fiction movies. Spaceballs really takes a poke at Star Wars. One of the main characters is the Dark Helmet, which clearly makes fun of Darth Vader. The Druid princess is meant to be Princess Laya. They make a crack at her by showing her in the famous braids around the ears, but they soon come off and you realize that they are headphones. I could go into detail more on how, however i'm not a Star Wars fan and have never seen a single episode.
There are so many funny parts of this movie but my favorite would have to be when the evil powers are trying to watch the movie to find out what is going to happen next. They get to the part of actual time and get all confused. It is a part in which is hard to understand unless you actually see it. This movie is for people with a strange and pretty much stupid sense of humor, which is exactly what I love about it.

You know when it's real

This commercial is hillarious. The catch is that we know when things in our everyday life is real. All of the fake things like the dog, the building climbing, and the Statue of Liberty would not be that appealing if they were not real. If we aren't going to settle for those things, then why would we want to settle for a burger that is not real? They even put honest abe in there when they are talking about their philosophy being good ol' honesty. They also don't freeze it, so why would we want to go somewhere that does.

That big jucy burger is something that made my mouth water. The other burger however, not so much. They make the food from wendy's look amazing. The lettuce and tomatoes are all squeeky clean and look dilicious, as well as the burger. The food from the other places and the frozen "hocky puck" looked a little dry and boring. The jingle also stuck in my head. I think I will probably be singing it all day. They also throw in some humor, which is nice.

They don't forget to diss on the competition either. Everybody knows that McDonalds burgers are kept in a warming trey. Also when comparing themselves ot the rest they showed a frozen burger, which just drew more attention to the delicious taste of what a wendy's burger would be. The bottom line is, why would you want fake when you can have Wendy's?

Balloon Boy

I don't believe that I would give this family the chance to be in a reality television show. This entire event has been one big mess. From the reports that I have seen about the Heeney family I believe that this family is too controversial. I believe that the family is known nation wide and I would most likely receive a phenomenal amount of viewers wanting to take a glimpse at this family. However, I do not believe that after the stunt that was pulled that they deserve to be rewarded with the fame and possible financial benefits a show would provide to them.

The police in this investigation believed the entire time that this was a hoax but wanted the family to cooperate. I can't blame them because this was what needed to be done to find out the truth. I don't think that the comment Falcon made to Wolf Blitzer was what made the light bulb turn on. I believe that it was the gulp taken by the father as his reaction to the comment. I also had a hard time believing the child in later interviews because it seemed very staged, as if his parents were telling him what they wanted him to say. Then later finding out that they had been on a reality show before and were being reviewed for another sealed the deal. I think that legal matters should be taken because it wasted time and money from multiple counties.

I feel sorry for the children, especially Falcon. It reminded me of Susan Boyle gaining all that fame after blowing the world away on Americas Got Talent. Soon after gaining this fame she became very ill and was hospitalized. I couldn't get that out of my head while watching the father of Falcon put his child on the spot. The boy was very ill and vomited. I don't believe that any family that puts their children at risk or even makes a hoax that would make their child seem in danger should reap any benefits of a reality show.

Restore International

I thought this assignment was really neat. It not only is an amazing company, but its main office is in a town I used to live in. I think that Bob Goff is an incredible human being. Doint the research was very easy because it was so interesting to learn what they do, how it got started, and how it has grown. It seems like he has dedicated his life to help these people.

The most amazing thing is that they are all so dedicated. It's not like they just sit there behind desks trying to stop these horrible sex and slave trades. They work with law enforcement to raid these places and grab these minors. They don't just stop there, but continue to give them couseling and a safe haven.

There's so much crime here in america and abroad. I think what Bob Goff has created is simply heroic. These children are having the worst time of their lives. They don't get a chance at a childhood. Just as they begin to loose hope, here comes Bob Goff and his team.

Bob Goff got involved just from going to India and seeing how bad it was there. I think it is great that their program allows the other volunteers to go abroad. It allows these volunteers to get a firs-hand idea of what is going on. I think it is great because it gives them the same drive that Bob Goff has, which makes this such a successful company.
