Blog Post of the Day:
Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is. Do you agree or disagree with the writer?

I admire what this teacher writes and I think he makes a good point. It made me respect what his point of view was. His "main event" was "learning to deal with the harshness of life when it gets difficult" and he makes a lot of sense. I agree with this article because I do think way too much emphasis is placed on getting good grades rather than actually learning or growing as a person. I liked what this teacher had to say and agree with his ideas, especially the part where he says we need to man up.

I liked the video and I thought it made good points. I agree that lots of us, especially young people, are addicted to our phones and social media, but I don't think we need to get rid of it completely. It would be better if we paid more attention to the world going on around us and didn't rely on social media to make us happy. On the other hand, I think social media and technology play a major role in our lives, as we use these types of things daily for work, school, and amusement. I think we need to find a balance, and I agree with the video that there are more important things going on in real life than there is ever on any type of technology or social media site.
