Students in Chicago aren't going to school? This is all because of the Teacher strike in Chicago. Teachers are saying that they are not getting paid enough money.
    I don't support the teacher strike because while they are striking a lot of childrens are missing school, and later on the student are going to be the ones that have to work extra hard to recover the time they miss. One thing that  i don't understend about the strike is that they are striking because they want to get more money but while they are striking they aren't getting paid(not getting money), so what is the point? The strike its not only hurting them but also its hurting the students and other school workers. Students are in the streets,when they are supposed to be in school learning, they are also hurting other workers because of the teachers not teaching the schools are being closed.The strike also hurt the students in the way that its going to take them longer to graduate.
  
    I don't think that going on a strike is going to solve anything, one thing that they could do is ask every teacher to sign a petition.They can find more options or ways to protest with out hunting the students education or the work of others.    
What do you think about the teacher strike? Do you oppose or support the strike?

    Always we hear the cry from teenagers" What do we do,where can we go?"
A judge in New Zealand said that teenagers should stop being cry babies.
i don't agree with the judge, Why? Well because he is judging all the teenagers by the actions of just a group of people. 
    Something that the judge doesn't know is that a lot of us , teenagers don't act like babies.We as teenager have responsibilities and some of us do take care of them.He also comments that we should do chores insted of harming our community. Yet we ask ourselves, that ones we finish doing everything and every chore, what else can we do?.He also says that nobody owe us anything,not our town, parents or the world. The truth is that nobody owe us, but we should be working back and forth.
    We are only young once; being a teenager is a only one chance. Its an age when you feel that you can do anything.Life is not only about working and doing chores. There is a point when you have to stop for a second and have fun.Being a teenager is not that easy,we also have problems not only adults.We have the right to have fun and distract ourselves from the problems that we face nowadays. I believe that's why there is a lot of depression in people, because they only worry about work and responsibilities. Life is also about enjoying your youth while you have it.Something that he mentioned that i agree with was that we should develop a backbone. We should have goals and work to achieve them,but also have fun.
    He shouldn't have said that teenagers are cry babies,because he was judging all of us by the actions of others.


 
When you train to become a soldier, you actually train to learn how to defend yourself in the combat.Well just imagine that you get a concussions because of the trainings.In Fort Hood, Texas, one of the main centers for training a soldier gets a concussion every other day.

At Fort Hood ,researchers found that  six percent of the students in a class had just been struck in the head. The students were having  symptoms of brain injuries, the Defense Department said "They include "altered mental status," such as confusion and disorientation, plus a combination of other symptoms such as headaches, nausea and balance problems".  One of the training that is hurting the soldiers it's the hand-to-hand fighting. The brain specialists think that the soldiers are at risk if the had a concussion befor going to war.What i  think is that it's bad and that they shoud change the tranings.This is because insted of helping our soldiers protect themselves we are actually sending them already damaged. I feel this is going to make things worse because they no longer have the same capacity to fight in war.

I think that the Army should take action and try to help or give options of new training technics. Do you think that they should try to change the technics for training? and What are some options you would give the Army for new  technics ?
