Brainstorming

Thanks for the nice comments on my first blog. It usually takes some time for me to open up so my posts will get better. Hopefully I won’t get too informal, because then these posts would be nothing but emoticons and some l33t. :P (Oh, great. There’s one now.)

I'm trying to think up a good topic to use for class tomorrow. I liked anything we talked about that had to do with school, since I've been going to school for so long.

I've gone to a private school my whole life, so I didn't know what to say about issues like bussing or public school teachers. On the topic of teachers though, I think I can come up with a lot to say. Teachers in private schools usually didn't 'pass' us along, but I've had easy ones that give grades. Some people in class thought it was the student's fault for not learning, while others thought it was the teacher's. I think it is a bit of both, so I think I would like to expand on that. (<--- Did you notice how much I said ‘I think’ in this paragraph?)

Things like religious fanaticism also interest me, but I’m not sure if I can talk about that. That’s really a topic that gets me riled up, so I’m sure Wendy would rather me go with that instead of a topic I don’t like. I know that kind of sounds like a bizarre topic, but I really want to talk about it, at least more than the political issues. Another thing that I would like to talk about is violence in the media. These are a couple of topics I have an opinion on so I think I’ll bring these to class tomorrow.

I just checked the 1020 blog and it seems like we have to stay within the topics we talked about in class Tuesday. I don’t think either of the things I mentioned fall under any of that either. Dangit.

Oh, well. I’ll think of something.

Later.
