@IrrationalPepsi I didn’t know your a morning person too! I usually sleep around 8 and wake up around 4.
“Aha” lmao IP.
Also thank you (flex) Jesus @Nickarch
Omg @neophite it cracked me up when you said my schools on drugs and has no midterms 8-X
Today I have a bio exam that I have to get an A on. Pray for me.
good luck boi! I have two questions:
Does anyone here attend a school where laptops are given to all students (1:1 initiative)? I am part of the committee for it for my township, but I am totally against it. 88% of students in my school own a laptop and 94% own either a laptop or a tablet, so it is superflous to give them a second laptop.
Also, I am trying to start a medical related club in my school. I will definately be founding HOSA either this year or next year (the website is confusing, so any clairification on how to sign up would be appreciated). Is malnourishment a medical related issue? I want to start a “feeding the malnourished” club where we raise money for nonprofit organizations that feed the homeless/helpless.
Ugh, I have a terrible cough. It uses the same muscles as throwing up, but with coughing instead of gagging.
On the other hand, they canceled school at 9 last night and it hasn’t started precipitating yet.
We’ve got the 1:1 thing over here, @neophite , and…
Well, there /are/ kids who should benefit. The thing is, the ones without computers don’t have internet, either. :I
omg people in my class were legit cryign because they didn’t finish their midterm
Dance was cancelled today and I’m literally so happy. First Wednesday I’ve had off in 2 years
@neophite My school is part of the 1:1 initiative, too. As for HOSA, my school is already established and I could ask the adviser for clarification if you want?
@neophite our school gives everyone a chromebook, but its very small and they are not very reliable
We just get iPad’s
@ElloLove it would be great if you could ask! Thanks! I really dislike the 1:1 just because of how it fits into our school. We have tons of lenovo carts (probably around 2000 lenovos and chromebooks in the school district) and everyone has internet. Everyone has devices to use and wifi is free for any devices at school and most public locations. These devices are only being brought in because students “like using devices” so maybe they will like learning if it is on devices. They are editing the curriculum for this thing! Also, the students MUST recieve a device, and they MUST bring it to school and back everyday. All mishaps are the students FAULT and must be PAID by the student.
Yeh, I don’t mind it too much. I got lucky, and- when I was getting a new backpack, before the year’s start, since I didn’t have one from middle school- I got one with a laptop compartment. This was a wise decision.
Now I’m paying for it, though, because it’s broken. D:
Gotta do research this time.
I’m happy because I didn’t lose any civil rights in my home state today.
My school has IPads, laptops, and computers. You can’t take them home though, and you’re allowed to bring your own device and connect to the wifi. But it blocks Snapchat and Instagram so what’s the point):
@awesomepolyglot congrats, but feel better with that cough
@adiacs @OMPursuit @ItsEmilie @manspeak2u they think students will actually learn better by “Flipping the classroom” they want students to learn at home (where they have no one to ask questions) and come back to school to reinforce or practice. Besides, it just allows for more excuses; “It didn’t load” “My laptop took forever to charge, so I didn’t do the hw”
In the words of Sweet Brown: “I got bronchitis. Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
My school has laptop carts.
We have chromebooks. Our school wifi only blocks clash of clans
@awesomepolyglot im dying right now!
@Giovuhnni lol is it that big of a problem in your school? My school has a student wifi, teacher wifi, and “mobile wifi”. Students are only supposed to use student wifi (the only one they know the password for) but an elect few (which I am part of luckily) know the mobile password from the seniors. No firewall or blocks on mobiel!
My school blocks YouTube. Only YouTube.
For last semester, I sat behind some guy who played video games aaaall claaaaass. 
Now he’s gone, but… it really doesn’t make me feel better. :((
Then I’ve seen this other freshman doing it, and it makes me feel sad all over again. It feels like people are going to keep falling into that same trap. >.> @neophite @Giovuhnni
YouTube, Agar.io, most social networks, most forums (except this one 
), and ~adult~ websites are blocked on my school’s wifi.
