Jessica Buster Hello everyone! I’m Jessica Buster, a sophomore here at J-town High School. I’m here today to talk to you about something very important to me and something I hope you can relate to, as well. Recently, I’ve realized that teachers are being bullied by their students, and I really cannot stand for that. Teachers have always been my friends, and they should be your friends, too.
Why is it that some of you feel the need to be disrespectful? Just because a teacher may be stern doesn’t mean they’re “out to get you” or hate you. It just means that that teacher doesn’t like any funny business in his/her classroom. If they are harsh to you, maybe it’s because you were harsh first. Be mindful of that the next time your teacher yells at you for being disruptive, talking in class, or having your phone out yet again. Respect is earned, not given.

Lindsay Orosz“Free college.” It sounds great, doesn’t it? And no, I am not talking about scholarships or selective free rides. I mean free college, period. The opportunity for every high school graduate to advance into a more sophisticated, career guiding, and exclusive second-school and not come out with thousands of dollars in debt. It actually sounds amazing. It seems so crazy of an idea that it it strange that the idea has even come up. Bernie Sanders, a presidential candidate running for the Democratic Party, has made it one of his goals as a potential future president to get rid of college tuition. Don’t believe me? Check out his website where he has an article titled It’s Time to Make College Tuition Free and Debt Free which includes 6 steps on exactly how to make it free. In what he calls the “Sanders Plan”, his steps include stopping the federal government from making a profit on student loans, imposing a tax on Wall Street Speculators, and allowing students to use financial aid and work study programs.
