Hey Bryce, this is a really good pitch! You used motivational language and illustrated the high stakes, so as listeners, we realize that this situation needs to change. I also like how you organize the post […]

Thank you so much!

Hi Erik! Thanks for your input! Oh gosh, I don’t know where I would want to focus my change. Spreading information to society is important, because that how I’ll gain widespread support. The schools are a huge […]

Hey Zachariah! This is a really well done mind map! I’m a huge fan of color coding (I color code all the notes I take for school and any physical objects I have to organize), so your map was easy for me to read […]

Hey Bryce! This is an incredible mind map; I’m so jealous! It was really organized and you have a lot of good content. The Importance branch caught my eye in particular, as these are the arguments you’ll be using […]

Thank you!!

Hey Bryce, thanks for your thoughts! I’m glad my posts are inspiring to you, and I hope other people are responding similarly. It’s actually interesting that you ask about my school, as just recently (like, within […]

Hey Zachariah! Last I knew, you were struggling a little to come up with a topic so I’m glad to see you’ve found one, and a really important one at that. The declining bee population is a really big deal. Just […]

Hi Andrea, thank you for your response! I believe that the historical trend predicts that someday, yes, we may devolve into a society that accepts nudity. However, I definitely agree that it’s important to dress […]

Hi Courtney, thank you so much for sharing this link! It’s really interesting to see how different schools are approaching this issue. So far in my reading, I’ve found many schools where students have protested, […]

Hi Andrea, thank you for your comments! I assume that when you reference the link between the dress code and hurtful comments, you mean the way I opened the piece. When the administration tells me that I need to […]

Hey Bryce! I haven’t thought about it much yet, but I think the best way to spread the word is generally through the internet. Videos, presentations, and essays could all work. Getting on the local news is […]

Hi Erik, thank you for sharing this link! The BHS student’s account resembles many I’ve heard (and experienced) in Middlebury High School, especially in terms of unfair enforcement and a generally vague statement […]

I think poverty is an issue that should be studied on at a statewide level, as it’s a much more large-scale issue than the other two. I think I would focus on LGBT education and the dress code, first at my school, […]
