: About Me

My name is Amy and I live in Tennessee(whoo!) but I am not quite country. I am on the newspaper staff at my school and I absolutely love it! We use InDesign and Photoshop, so if anyone has any info on that, I'd really appreciate it.

Here are a few random things about me: My favorite bands are Flyleaf and Skillet. My favorite colors are pink and gray. The Simpsons is definitely my favorite cartoon. Degrassi:The Next Generation takes the non-cartoon award. I was born December 3rd, 1993 and I am in 9th grade. I drink Dr. Pepper like it's going out of style! My favorite season is summer and I'm incredibly glad that it's coming up soon...I can't wait to slap on some sunscreen and jump in the water!

Education > Education (Other) Should the school year be lengthened?

24 of 28

No! I first venture to ask "Why should it be lengthened? What are the positives?" As far as I can see, there are none. I am a high school student myself. Just the other day my grandfather asked when my last day of school was. I responded with "May 30th." And he was astounded that we had to stay so late in the year, considering how early we started (August 1st). If you're over the age of fifty, you can probably recall the "good ole days" when school started after Labor Day and ended around Memorial day. I will never be so lucky. High school is the best time to get an education! There are so...
