This blog is about having the chance to ask Mr. Ing to take away any of the 8 changes. Well, except for the first change, which was the lunch choice. That's the only one that we can't take away, because it is his change, that he wants. So, i had to think for a very long time, to see which change i would want to be taken away. I took a long time to think, because i know that every single change is helping us leadership students. Mr. Ing is putting up these changes because he wants to help us. I don't think he wants to see anyone leaving this program. He told us that he doesn't just want to leave us under the bus, without any support. That's what's really great(': Well, after thinking for a while, the one change that i would want to be taken away is change #2, Due Dates Through Webgrader. I would want this change to be taken away, because that change applies to ALL of our assignments. Mr. Ing won't tell us in class when our projects are due, because it is our responsibility to check Webgrader everyday. But what if we don't have internet connection in the house? What if you're busy the entire day, going out with the family? That's why i liked it before, when Mr. Ing would tell us our due dates in class, so that EVERYONE would know. It was easier that way, because with this new change, he could tell us that something is due one day, and you believe that it's due that day. But since you believed him, you didn't bother to check Webgrader, since you heard it from him. But that due date that he said could be wrong. You need to check Webgrader. And that's something that i don't like. We were talking about when our first weekly AR goal is due, and he said the first Friday of the quarter, which only gave us three days to read and take a test! We believed him, and only some of us actually checked Webgrader, since most of us probably thought that it was actually due the first Friday, when it's actually due on the NEXT Friday! I felt so dumb. I even checked Webgrader, but didn't go into the homeroom assignments! smh-,- ...... I don't mind this rule, but it's the one that i would like to have taken out. But this rule really helps me become more responsible in the things that i do. Like i said, we can't keep using the same excuse, "Oh, i forgot." That excuse won't work when you grow up and miss something important in your job. You'd almost guaranteed be fired. Then what? Mmhmm, that's right. So, all of these rules are meant to HELP US, not to TORTURE US. That's something that some people should understand, i think. You need to understand the changes, before you can judge them. I know that in my blog about the 2 change, i said that i didn't want it changed, and look at me now. Writing a blog about what change i would want gone, and talking about change 2. Well, after i thought about it, i actually understood what could happen in this rule. Like, you can't check Webgrader? Or you believe the due date Mr. Ing tells us in class? There could be many outcomes of this change, or any change for that matter. So, overall, Change #2 is the one that i would have chosen to take away.
Oh Yeah! And today, during 8th grade advisory, Mr. Ing told us what the purpose for the Time Cards are. You see, in the beginning of this morning, after reading all our blogs yesterday, Mr. Ing noticed that NONE of us knew what the purpose was. We tried to guess, but he said that we were FAR OFF. I thought it was to see who actually cared to come and show him our planners and sign it. But i guess not, because he said that it wasn't something obvious. Finally Shayna just guessed and suprisingly got it right! The answer to why we have time cards is........... It gives us a chance to talk to Mr. Ing. Yet, no one noticed that and never talked to him, about anything in our life, while we got our planners signed. I should really look into the purpose of every single rule, because what i put might have been off as well. Should be fun challenging my brain, right?! Well, yeees, i guess that's it! See yuuuhs later(x !
