Appreciate Great Teachers

After years of schooling a student really learns to appreciate the great teachers you have. Katie Hill is one of the best teachers I have had in my many years of school. She not only teaches her students information that they can use in everyday life but she makes learning fun. She helps her students in any way that she can and teaches them things to do after the class if they need help. She is a great teacher and I am very grateful to have had her.

Something you should know before going to school!

Something everyone should know before going to school is: NEVER stand in the middle of the hallway and talk. It is really annoying and people cannot get around you. You can go to the side of the hall and talk so people can get around you; there is no need to stand in the middle of the hallway! Another thing to know is that you can not walk like a turtle while walking down the hall. No one wants to follow you while you are walking that slow!!

There are many websites that young students tend to get on instead of doing homework or studying. The 4 most common websites that young students are easily distracted by are:

1) Facebook:

Facebook is a social networking service and website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. As of July 2011, Facebook has more than 800 million active users. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.

The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with over 300 million users as of 2011, generating over 300 million tweets and handling over 1.6 billion search queries per day. It has been described as "the SMS of the Internet.^”
