do now 9/29

An editorial is a newspaper article written by an editor that gives an opinion on a issue.

Teachers have many different opinions on wikipedia for the most part teachers do not like wikipedia. They feel that  the info on the page is not true and will help us fail. They believe that is more harmful than helpful.

Many teachers have different opinions no wikipedia. For the most part my teachers tell us not to use the info on wikipedia but to scroll to the end follow the links that are cited. These links are where the facts that where in the page are found. When reading these cited pages we need to be careful because anyone could change the links which would not make the link to something that is not accurate. 

After reading the article, my thoughts on wikipedia are not changed. I agree with my teachers because they are right. Anyone can edit the page and it can hurt students grades. Being that any person can edit it, it could not have true facts.

Apple iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S5

Apple iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S5
who: Samsung VS Apple 
What: New phone Debate
Samsung is a better phone over all with a larger display and more upgrades features versus its generation before. The Galaxy is dust resistant as well as water proof while the iphone is not. However the new Iphone is made of an all aluminum outer body that creates less friction when holding the phones. Also the saphire glass camera protector is a sure fire way to ensure the protection of the camera.

  Math isn't the most entertaining class. Geometry more specifically. For this class I have Mr. Santangelo as a teacher. He is a good teacher but he can be a bit monotonous. I end to get annoyed when people repeat themselves very often and he tends to do this. I understand that he's doing it for the sake of teaching but it can get annoying.
  At the start of this class I expected to learn more about shapes. However thus far I have only learned nothing more than a review of last year. There is nothing being taught about shapes. The only technological element of this class is the online text book. Besides that we didnt even get chrome books.
  Santangelos grading policy is much like every other teachers. His tests are 40% his projects are 40%. Homework and quizzes are both 10%. I like his grading policy because the grades that are hard and you try hard on count as more and the homework which you get a lot of do not way as heavily on your final grades. Santangelos class is a lot of fun over all.
