Blog Post #4 - Text Messaging… Does it help or hinder student writing?

Filed under: Uncategorized —— kyler1 @ 9:18 am

Okay well wow i do have to say Text messaging has taken over the younger generation in the since that alot of kids happen to use it in every day life with out even relizing it. I think that this is a split topic i think if studies show that kids do better and excell in writting and reading then y not use it i mean there is a time and place for it but i think if a student were to like write a rough draght using text talk then they should it helps them write faster and put a lot more words in there writing and then later going back and changng it but i honesty think that it is up to the teachers on what they want to do. But on the other hand i really dont want to be a granpa in my later years and alll the youth can do is text talk

Blog Post #5 - Trust and Innocence Boken

Filed under: Uncategorized —— kyler1 @ 9:10 am

Walking in on and seeing my dad at another women’s house, when I was about 10 ½ was a life changing and quite frankly wasn’t my idea of a winter wonderland. It was about mid March and still very cold out. One day my day my so called dad or Rick as I like to call him, was trying to assist a couple, Tasha and Shane who just happened to live across the street. They lived in a little yellow three bedroom house with brown trimming, and absolute disaster zone! Oh not to mention she had three kids of her own. She and her husband were going through a divorce, and Rick was helping with some papers and questions.

Later, he come home claiming he forgot his hat the one with the yellow 1st Calvary patch on it and asks if he can go get it. I said “yes”, I don’t know why I said yes wasn’t my dicission or my place to say yes, but he went. I always felt like I had to take charge of my little brother Kameron and my sister Mckenzie growing up and see what’s up all the time. So upholding my responsibility I took a little stroll over across the street to her house. Not knowing what was in store for my little innocent eyes.

Now, what I saw with my own two eyes was the most foul, searing, and scaring sight a 10 ½ year old should “Never” see. I saw my own dad the one who was supposed to be there for me to show me the righteous way. The daddy who should protect me love me and care for me, I witnessed “Cheating” on my incredible mom. With a nasty, woman with bigger feet then him and a nose that a duck can’t possibly out point. Right there in that moment in time will stay with me and that memory of losing everything in him will stay with me through my old gray years. Hopefully in time I will be able to forgive him but here I am at 15 years old. I occasionally talk to him. I think that trust and love will never be there again.

More about my feelings and personality.Why are people so concerned about kids’ safety when they’re using the Internet? Because parents think that kids are untrustwrothy to do good on it and also i think that kids that dont know what they r doing can get into bad sites and not even know about it.Is the Internet dangerous? Yes, to an exstent if u dont know what u r doing then yes.What do your peers generally do with computers and the Internet? I guess check there myspace and write friends, also do projects.What do you think/how do you feel about the year ahead, knowing that you will be using a blog a lot in English class?
