Women lining the streets of Washington, stone faced and starving to be equal to men in not only the eyes of the law but in society. Their fingers curl around picket signs until their knuckles turn white, and their cries are met with contempt from the very men they’ve claimed oppress them. This is a...

When you accept a job as a teacher, elementary and high school alike, you’re consciously placing yourself in a position of power. Though you may answer to someone higher up, your department head or principal or superintendent, you’re still in charge of the students who pass through your classroom...
No Shave No More

Whitehouse has always been strict when it comes to enforcing the school's dress code. A seductive shoulder would never go unseen in the hallway, and a too scruffy chin would never win the fight against a razor from the front office. Starting this school year, the dress code is allowing all boys to gr...

Family Values When you hear the word ‘family’ what comes to your mind? Most likely, it’s a mother and father with two to three kids that live in a stable average household. Why is it that we don’t think of a single father with kids? Or a couple only having adopted kids? Or families raised by...

May 16, 2017
In the past year, there has been many cases of school shootings or stabbings at high schools and colleges. It seems that no matter how many laws we make against guns or for school zone safety, our situation always still ends with a student or teacher being injured, or even worse, killed. In my op...

Prom is super stressful, especially if you're like me and this year's prom will be your first one to ever go to. First off, you have to find a date or you'll be going with a group of friends (or alone, however you roll). Next you need to (if female) get a dress or (if male) a nice suit. It's a great...

Too many of my peers are the product of their unstable upbringings. Children naturally look up to and watch their parents as they become older and follow in their footsteps; however, that is not the case when it comes to my life.

You may not realize it, but copying someone else's work is plagiarism and is actually illegal. Plagia...
