How does technology make school better or worse…

danielgrote — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:28:46 +0000

I think that technology makes school better in a way. Also I think technology can also make school worse. The way technology can make school better is you don’t have to use paper to make tests and other forms. Also, I helps keep the school safer and more organized. That is some way technology makes school better.

In some way technology can make school worse. It will allow students to fool around on the computers and go on to game. Also, it could be hacked or messed with and you wouldn’t even know who did it. It can cause a problem for people who don’t know how to use it correctly. those are some ways technology can make school worse.

If I was stranded on an island…

If I was stranded on an island with only 3 items I would bring a knife, a flint rock, and a canteen full of water. I would use my knife to build a shelter and to hunt and get food. Then I would use my flint to make a fire for my shelter and to cook food. The water would help me stay hydrated and to fill the canteen with more water when it is empty. These items would be very important if I was stranded on an island.

If I was stranded on an island I would make a signal fire and hope that a plane or a boat see it so come save me. I would make a strong shelter and a safe area. I would gather supplies to make a boat to try to make it off the island safely. Thats what I would do with my supplies to try to get off the island.

A time when I had bad customer service was when I got a new phone and tried to activate it and I would turn on. I called customer support and I got hung up on. So I called back and I was on the phone for about 45 minutes, and then I got hung up on again. So I called back a third time and finally they said my phone was broken and I needed to get a new one. That is a time when I had bad customer service.

Then when I got my new phone and tried to turn it on again, and it didn’t work again. So I called back and they said I need to use a credit card. So I asked my mom for her credit card and I gave it to the customer service lady and she help me and got it activated for me. That is another time when I got bad and I got good customer service.

if I could run any company in the world I would run publix. Publix is one of the biggest companies in the world and the stocks now are now at the highest the have ever been. publix is one of the most well know supermarket in the east coast. I would run that company because it has a huge profits and a comfortable work enviroment. that is the company I would run.

Publix is a very stable company and their stocks are steadaly rising. Another reason is that it is a friendly company and has great benefits. Publix is one of the best places to work. Also, you can sometimes get free stuff from publix. that is the company i would run if i could ran any company.

The best holiday I ever has be christmas. Every year for christmas eve my whole family goes to my grandmas house for a christmas eve dinner. After diner my grandpa reads the night before christmas, it is so funny because her ads and replaces words. Then we go home for christmas and go to sleep. My best christmas is when I got my new Wii, I was so excited.

Then for Christmas day my whole family goes to my aunt’s house and we play basketball and fish and eat snacks. Then we have dinner and desert. After dinner we all exchange presents and open them. That was my favorite christmas I had so far.

If president for a day what 2 laws would I change/make…

If I was president for a day the laws would make a law that jails would have to be a place that is terrible to live in. Some people in the united state illegal commit a crime on purpose just to go to jail because the country is a worst place then jail. Jails serve 3 meals a day with drinks and a bed, if I were homeless I would want to go to jail. Jail is to nice for criminals. that is one thing I would change.

Another thing I would change would be the FCAT. I would make it not mandatory to take the FCAT. I think the there really is no point to the FCAT it is just a test like any other test. Also, making children take that big test gets them all nerves and gets them pressured to do better and all that happens is that they do bad then that could mess up their chances to do a lot of stuff, like get in to a good college.

If I could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive,who and why?

danielgrote — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:24:46 +0000

If I could have dinner with anyone I would have dinner with Eli Manning. I would have dinner with him because he plays on my favorite football team. I would talk to him about what it is like to play in a real NFL game. Also, I would ask him how it was to grow up with a dad playing in the NFL.

If I was to have dinner with him I would ask him a lot of questions about his life and his career. I think he is one of the coolest people. Him and his dad and brother are some of the best QB in the league. That is who and why I would have dinner with Eli Manning.

my favorite weekend activites are…

danielgrote — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:30:10 +0000

My favorite weekend activities are to hang out with my friends and play sports. Every weekend me and my neighbor Stephen hang out. We usually play Xbox or go to the park with friends. my other friend Jordan who lives a few minutes away from my house usually comes over and we throw the football. those are few of my favorite activities to do over the weekend.

Sometimes over the weekend I go fishing and to the beach with my dad. When I go fishing I always catch something. Also, I sometimes go to my grandmas house or to my aunt’s house. it is fun when I go to my grandmas house because we go to the mall and we also go out to eat. my grandma also has a pool that I go swimming in when it is hot outside. that is another thing I do over the weekend.

My first semester at monarch was like…

danielgrote — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:04:39 +0000

My first semester at monarch high school was great. This semester was my first year in a public school. It was a great experience, I meet a lot of new friends and most of my teachers were helpful in teaching me new things. I also played on the football team and had a lot of fun. I had practice almost every day it was so hot in my football pads. Next year I hope that I get to start.

I also made the baseball team for spring. We have baseball practice everyday and on Saturday, my only day I have for fun to hang with my friends is on Sunday. My number on the baseball team is 13 it is one of my favorite numbers. I hope that Monarch’s baseball team has a winning record and we win districts. The coaches on the team are very helpful. That is how my first semester at monarch was.
