It is plain fact that the United States is slipping in both the education standards it holds to its citizens and in the place of education in the world. What is causing this slip?

Should the credit load be reduced to the state level of 20 credits, or should there be a tier system? What could come from this decision? Do you think that the United States will continue to slip or is it just a transitional stage? Post your thoughts and enjoy!

WHS '09 Winter Carnival Coverage Using 'Cover It Live'

The Digital Communications class is trying an experiment by doing LIVE blogging as a form of communication! Using the application Cover It Live students will be going around to different venues during Winter Carnival and doing live coverage for the community as a whole. Viewers can go to Cover It Live, sign into the blog and ask questions that will appear to the bloggers. The bloggers can then respond to the community's questions! While we won't be able to capture everything happening at any given moment, we will be able to capture several events and keep you posted! Check it out below!

Religion is the Opiate of the Masses

One of Karl Marx's famous quotes was "Religious is the opiate of the masses." What does this quote say to you? We're curious if you think there's a difference between being religious and spiritual?
