Dear Journalism Students,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts in class this week. Some of you were very open and honest about your thoughts and feelings, and I was proud of you for your responses—It’s not an easy thing to do!
After hearing you thoughts, I came up with some questions I would like you to answer to follow-up our “snow ball” thought session. Here they are:
1. Many of your responses mentioned your mothers. Mothers have the ability to make us feel special or, sometimes, not-so special. They are a very important part of your lives. On the other hand, no one mentioned his or her fathers.
Questions: What role do fathers play in the lives of your generation? Is the role they play ideal, or do we want something more or something different from them? (You may answer this question in general, no need to talk about your family, unless you want.)
2. Listening to your responses, it seemed that you all did not think fighting was a big deal. However, it is a very big issue to teachers and administrators (not to mention the cops).
Questions: Why do you think there such a big difference in opinion? For example, what would you think if Mr. Freij and I fought? Would you still respect us?

Question 1 in my personal view is difficult to answer because my father is always there for me. The one thing I would want my dad to do is take care of himself so he will be around when I graduate from high school and college and walk me down the isle and so my children can see and know their grandfather. While some students either don't know their fathers or their fathers are never there. I think Fathers should not make excuses when they are with their children by not listening to them and not answering the phone when their with their kids.If Fathers' have other families they should make time to call or visit no matter how far away they are.
Question 2 I personally would not respect Ms. Ray and Mr. Freij if they fought because they are supposed to be adults and it would really be immature and Mr.Freij could really hurt Ms. Ray although I'm not saying Ms. Ray can't fight she is a woman and could get hurt. Their is a big difference because teenagers think it is so cool to fight that it makes them cool while really they are truly stupid to even get into a fight because you get into more trouble and depending on the situation you can hurt yourself or hurt someone else meanwhile hurting someone else could your self-esteem really be that low. Do you have no respect for anybody umm i guess not I wonder what you will do when your adults because if you fight now for stupid crap most likely will fight when you are adults which means getting arrested and thrown in jail to is that you people want because if it is then i'm laughing because you will never go anywhere in life and what will get me mad is that my tax dollars are going to support you and your kids because you cant support yourself if you have a record.
its that people tend to be closer with their mom than their dad. like i only go to my dad when i want money or when i want to go out. but it kind of depends what i want to buy and where i want to go. but when i want to talk, i talk to my mom because my dad is way to overprotective and he takes things way out of proportion. like i cant even say a guy has nice eyes to my dad without him overreacting so i only talk to my mom because shell probably just agree with me.

Well MMM About Fathers!!!!
I Get Alone More With My Mom Because Me And My Father Always Argue So We Cant Talk in Peace....I Think A Lot Of Girls Get Alone With Their Mothers More Then Fathers!!! But Either Way I Still Love Mi Daddy...
If You && Mr.Freij fought it would not really matter because it have nothing to do wit me. Either way you Should not fight because you setting a bad example...
Question 1: Day / Night; sun / moon; left / right; mom / dad. We need them both. One cannot exist without the other; they are equally important and vital. It's the way the universe is set up. Living with only one parent is like living without the sun or the moon. Something is really missing.
Question 2: I think Freij and Ray is a fairly good pairing although, as I said elsewhere, my money is on Freij in ten rounds. The fight I'd like to see - respect and immaturity aside - is Ms. Manning vs. Mr. Haverstock. Unfortunately Ms. Manning isn't here this year so it will all remain pure speculation but my money would be on Manning in 12. I saw the way she plays basketball.
Well dad are our parents but they are not that special as mothers because they gave us birth and they are the ones who will be with us for the rest of our life and they will love us no matter how we are.The reason we dont talk about them that much is that they are not that special.
I'll like to answer question number 2:
I think there is actually a big difference about what we think about fighting and what teachers think about it. We think is not a big deal because we are the ones that actually are fighting now in days. You don't hear about adults fighting now in days. So since we're the one fighting we think is not such a big deal, but if you think about it closely, you'll realize that teachers are right. In my opinion, we fight because we are mad about something that someone did that in some way in hurt us. So we think that by hitting that person, is going to stop that person from doing it. Sometimes you'll gain respect for fighting that "someone" but since you hit them, they would want to hit us back, which would cause more trouble. So I think the best way to solve some issue that you are having with someone else is to talk to them until the problem is solve. Thank You and remember to read this blog every time you feel like punching somebody!
