Last night I read an article called Graffiti cameras on patrol. This article talked about a new addition coming to Denver's streets. Graffiti cameras, These cameras will be use to catch graffiti artists in the act. I think this is a great way to keep Denver looking the way its supposed to look. Denver will now have cleaner walls and highway bridges because of these cameras. In addition, Denver will not have to spend time or money to clean it up.This is a great tool because I can't tell you how many times I've been driving on the highway and seen that ugly paint all over a bridge. These people treat the world as there paper and don't care what others think. With this new innovation people will start drawing more on paper and less on walls.

Graffiti is an art witch should be practiced on paper and not on walls as I've stated before. The fact is that for most people this goes in one ear and out the other. People need to realize that its against the law and should not be practiced in public. This act would be considered to many as a defiance of property and I agree with them one hundred percent. In the end these cameras will be a great tool for a better Denver.

Over the break I read an article about a man who rescued a boy searching for help after he and his mother were in a car accident. Ironically this man was an illegal immigrant who had just entered the country. It was entitled Man entering U.S. Illegally rescues boy. When I read this story it really opened my mind as to how people can be so nice even if there in trouble. I realized that anyone can be nice you just have to put your heart to it. Not only did he help this boy he stayed with him all night until help came the following day. I think that things like this happen when there is no one to see it. Because of this these people are viewed as terrorist's or something. That's just wrong if you don't ask me. The bottom line is be nice to all and they will treat you the same.I think this man deserves some kind of mettle for his bravery.

This weekend I read an interesting article called DPS school vote Monday may not close arguments. For the past month the Denver Public School district has been deciding weather or not to close some of there schools. However the parents of the kids currently going to these schools are out raged. I think I would be too. Some of these kids have been going to these schools for a long time and they have no intention to leave. Personally I would leave the district and come to a place like Littleton public schools. This act of unkindness has really shaped what people think of this district. This problem needs to be figured out because these kids need to finish out this year strong.

As for parents they should just wait and watch to see what happens. Right now parents and kids are protesting. Later they might be enrolling in a different schools for next year. Hopefully the superintendent will make the right decision and keep these kids in school.

This week I choose to wright about an article from the Rocky mountain news called ocean circulation may contribute to warming. This article talked about how the Artic ocean changed its circulation counter clock wise to clock wise causing a rise in water temperature in the area. Global warming is becoming a huge issue among the united nations and others. If we cant stop this temperature increase then we could have major problems for the generation to come. People need to realize that this will affect them to and they need to stop driving when it is not necessary and stop using so much gas and oil. In order to help you could carpool with a friend to get to school or just walk. This way we can keep our air clean and our temperatures down.


I think what matters is the future because we don't no what it will look like in 50 years or even 10. We want to conserve are resources so that we can look forward to the future instead of dreading it. I'm wondering what the government will do to stop global warming. Because, as far as I can see they aren't doing very much. To conclude, this problem will be Concord just like every thing in our past.

While scanning through the mound of available blogs I came across one of interest. It was entitled "Another amazing video about teaching and learning". It talked about a group of students that wrote about the experiences in school and how its affected them today. The students were challenged to think about there schooling career and pull out the most important pieces of it. I think this is a great way to express how you feel about your schooling. this also gives teachers the opportunity to look into your schooling and see where you need the most help. I think this would be something for my school to look into. Therefor the teachers would know where the student needs the most help and be able to help them in a way they both understand.

For me this would be especially helpful because I did not get the best schooling in elementary school. By middle school it began to snowball I was not doing so great in math. Now every things allot easier. I think it might be the technology but you can't be shore. The main thing is that you learn to the fullest potential and succeed.

This weekend I read an article in the Fisch bowl called "why wireless". It explained how My school has allowed wireless Internet on cell phones. Last week AHS made a new policy allowing wireless access on cell phones any time any where in the school. I think this is a great idea because kids can now access the Internet from there phones. Now we can find info with out going to the library or computer lab. I think this adds on to the list of freedoms that are available to us at school. An example of these freedoms is off campus lunch. These freedoms are great however if not used appropriately they will be taken away. As you may think we will see how long this lasts before people start misusing this freedom.

I think this is a great way to get updated grades quicker and check homework quicker. Next I believe that this will help improve grades to some extant. However, the bottom line is that if it is miss used then it will be taken away.
