Teenagers tend to use their phones a lot during the school day and they typically go on them when they want too. This new phone rule possibly becoming a thing for St Vrain Valley schools would cause lots of controversy throughout the schools.
Teachers love to pile up homework on students, which to them seems like it will help improve their learning but in reality it causes students to be more stressed out. Homework can be beneficial for students learnings, but more often than not, it just makes students lives worse.
Countdown to Spring Break
Spring Break is here! Enjoy your week!

In this promotional image by Apple Music to promote this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show, Kendrick Lamar sits on the 50-yard line in front of a giant American flag. Kendrick pulled off, if not the best, then the most meaningful halftime performance of the past decade. His performance was more than just performing his hits—he used the nationally-watched event as a platform for his politics.

A flock of bighorn sheep gathers near the summit of Mt. Blue Sky, the highest peak in Colorado. Mt. Blue Sky shed its former name Mt. Evans in 2023 in an effort to uplift Colorado's indiginous population (who originally called the peak Blue Sky) and not their oppressor (Evans helped execute the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre). With the new presidential administration changing geographic names to "restore American greatness," dozens of Coloradans took to social media to express their concern that Mt. Blue Sky might revert back to Mt. Evans.

And I breathe in exhaustion and apprehension ahead 

Of kingdoms born that deserve the knife.
