Article of the Week

             This week's article entitled, "Bomb blast in Pakistan park kills at least 60 people," informs us that families celebrating Easter Sunday were attacked by the Taliban. The Taliban deliberately attacked Christians and warned of following with more attacks. More than 60 people were killed and at least, 300 were injured from the explosion. The police attendant shares that women and children were mostly killed. This article is very significant because Christians are still being persecuted because of their beliefs, especially in other countries. Theses people in Pakistan do not have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Innocent women and children died because of individuals who discriminate against a certain group of individuals. The sad thing is, the persecution of Christians is not stopping. The lives of innocent individuals are a stake. People of America are fortunate enough to have freedom of religion. We are allowed to believe whatever we want to believe. We can celebrate Easter Sunday without any trouble. We are very fortunate, as Americans, to have this freedom. This is  my article of the week.

Article of the Week

          For this week's article, "She wanted to be a cop until a cop did this," the city of La Cruces ,N.M. finally agrees to pay 3 million dollars to settle a lawsuit brought by a woman who was sexually assaulted by a police detective. The woman was working as a high school intern for the department. aspiring to be a detective herself.  The police detective took Diana Guerrero along with him to visit a crime scene in 2011. Instead of taking Guerrero directly back to the station, he took another route and stopped at a secluded area and raped her. Diana Guerrero never thought that someone in a badge would be capable of doing this. She no longer dreams of becoming a police detective after this incident. The ironic thing about this is that detective, who was sentenced to 9 years in prison, was assigned to a unit that focused on child abuse and sex crime. The significance of this article is that you can never be so sure about someone who is in uniform. This article shows that even the individuals who fight crime are capable of committing a crime. This police detective caused  this young intern to abandon her dream of becoming a detective. This article shows us that you can never be so sure about the people you are in company with.

Article of the Week

                This week's article is entitled,"Teacher spends two days as a student and is shocked               at what she learns." In this article, a high school learning coach spends to days shadowing  two students,  a sophomore and senior. On the first day, the teacher did the work of the sophomore and spent the day as a student. The next day, the teacher spent the day shadowing a senior. After living as a student for two days, the teacher realized that students do not have it that easy. The student also has a large workload and the students mainly sit at their desks all day. This learning coach realized that the changes that she made prior to her experience were not helpful to the student. This article is significant because every teacher and educator should take the time to go one day as a student. Many teachers don't realize how stressful high school is for students. Teachers get to see the students point of view. I believe that this will change the teachers planning for each subject. They will know what works and what does not work. If every teacher took the time to shadow a student, the learning experience for the student would change dramatically. This is my article of the week.

Article Of the Week

                 





              In this week's article, ''Mom guilty in 16-months-old son's death from Benadryl," explains how a mom is facing life in prison for killing her 2 year old son with an overdose of Benadryl. In the article, Elizabeth Long, mother of Lucas Long, claims that she because of her many medical prescriptions she was abusive to her son. Investigators found that Lukas was given 10 times the amount that a normal dose would produce. This article is very significant because mothers of today do not even care for their children. This woman was abusive to her son, and because she wanted her son to be quiet, she gave him medicine for sickness to quiet him down. Instead of having peace and quiet temporarily, she got it for good. Mothers of today deliberately harm and kill their babies because they do not want them. There is no good excuse for harming of killing your child. I believe that if you do not plan on getting pregnant, you should not be having sexual relations with someone. Being a mother involves great responsibility. It is not just about your well-being but also for the well-being of your child. These days, moms don't even care what happens to their children. This madness has got to stop. We as a people must come together and make sure that the children of tomorrow are in good hands. No child should suffer because of their parents, let alone be murdered.
