Burmese Military Threatens Monks by BBC World News

Reading this article made me realize that there are alot of people who don't know how to agree to disagree. I don't understand how people can be so insensitive to people who believe so strongly about their religion. The Buddhist clergy and fellow monks around Burma are breaking out in revolution, there were marches in over 25 cities the other day. The article mentioned that they Burmese military is going to be taking away U.S. visas, which not only means people lose hard earned money, but the feeling o citizenship too. As a person who has always believe in one form of God, I think it's important to respect others religions and the disposing of monks is one of the worst things you could do. Especially in Burma, monks are very respected so I can't imagine the outrage the people there are feeling.

Speaking From The Soul by The Fischbowl


In thi article Karl Fisch explains how the teachers in AHS always try to meet the needs of the students, I feel that this is a true statement. As a freshman I was a little scared that I wouldn't have good teachers, since in Middle School I had the best teacher of my education career. So far I've found that teachers do as much as they can, you may not be able to notice it all the time but it's there. I'm glad that a teacher can open up to us, especially since we are encouraged to do so in our writing. Knowing that teachers opening up makes us a step closer to becoming a family, which by the end of the year is what we should be. We spend so much time at school, going to a class with a teacher you don't get along with can be a living nightmare. In the end, everyone does their share here at AHS i'm glad it didn't go unnoticed.
